San Francisco Fashion Photography: Jake's Colorful Business Wear for Spring!

The Financial District has gorgeous hidden gems! Jake and I met for some delicious matcha tea followed by a quick "outfit of the day" lunchtime session for her blog and Instagram. We agreed that it's a blessing to live in San Francisco, where you can find contrasting beauty around every corner. :) 

If you'd like to schedule a quick lunchtime fashion shoot, we can nail them in about 30 - 40 minutes. Just email stephanie@marilee.co

San Francisco Fashion Photography - Jump Shots & the Golden Gate Bridge!

We now joke that "gravity is boring" after shooting this set of photos that includes jumping! Jake wanted to highlight overalls that can be worn three different ways for her blog. I used a 70-200mm lens on my Sony A7 for these shots and tested shutter speeds when she was in motion. Check out the results! 

As a bonus, I got this beauty shot of our Golden Gate Bridge at about 4:30pm. Love SF.

Hafiza & Jason Potrero Hill & Dogpatch Session

I had the pleasure of shooting a fashion & headshot session with Hafiza, a gorgeous professional who works and lives in Silicon Valley and has a knack for art & fashion. We toured Potrero Hill for the amazing views that the rolling elevation gives us, plus the Dogpatch, a neighborhood full of vibrant color and incredible industrial styled textures. I used to work in the Dogpatch for several years, so it was nice returning for some good coffee at Piccino. :) 

Here are Hafiza's solo shots, followed by a few relationship snapshots that we took for fun.

The Magic of San Francisco's Ferry Building (including my secret 2nd floor location)

It may have dumped (much needed) rain on us, but this proved to be excellent weather conditions for my lunchtime OOTD shoot with fashion blogger, Jake Bordeleau. Maybe I'm biased, but San Francisco's Ferry Building and terminal are gorgeous. The architecture and view is undeniably excellent. Take a look:

It's always a pleasure shooting with Jake. Check her out on Instagram and see her own blog on this very outfit here!
