Jennifer_W, Mar 2026

Chris was such a professional! He was incredibly patient and flexible with us as we had to reschedule our original date and time. He made our large family of six photoshoot such an enjoyable experience. And the photos that he captured were simply amazing. 👏 🤩 i cried tears of joy when I saw how well he captured the true essence of soul of each of us with his camera. Do not hesitate to book Chris Connor for your photography needs.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Jennifer - Thank you so much for your kind words—it truly means a lot. I’m really glad we were able to make the reschedule work and create a great experience for your family. Photographing your group at Baker Beach was such a highlight. As a San Francisco family photographer, my goal is always to capture genuine connection and personality, and I’m so happy the images resonated with you in that way. Thank you again for trusting me and for recommending Chris Conner Photography to others looking for a family photographer in San Francisco. It was an absolute pleasure working with you all!

Awesome photography!!!

Mike_W, Oct 2025

This is one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with. He picked a great location and was very patient with our large group.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Mike, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Photographing your family at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco was truly an honor — it’s one of my favorite locations in the city for family portraits and always delivers a beautiful variety of backdrops. Your family brought such warmth, laughter, and connection to the session, which made the entire experience so enjoyable. Your father was the heart of this shoot — his calm presence, warmth, and the love shared between him and his children made for some truly memorable images. It was inspiring to see how everyone came together to celebrate him, and those moments translated beautifully in the final gallery. I’m so glad to hear how much you loved the photos! Thank you again for trusting me to capture such a special day with your family. I’d be thrilled to work with you all again the next time you’re in San Francisco — there are so many more incredible spots for family photography sessions around the city. Warm regards, Chris Chris Conner Photography – San Francisco Family & Portrait Photographer

Great choice for local photographer

Rene_S, Nov 2024

Chris was so great to work with. I wasn’t sure where we wanted to do photos but he was super accommodating to my time and schedule. When we finally met, he was so kind, patient and creative. And we have great photos turned around same day! Incredible

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Rene, Thank you so much for your amazing review! It was such a pleasure working with you and your son during your photo session at Fisherman’s Wharf. That area is one of my favorite parts of San Francisco — full of color, energy, and unique backdrops that make for truly memorable photos. I really appreciated how relaxed and open you both were throughout the shoot — your connection made it easy to capture natural, candid moments that show genuine warmth. I’m thrilled that you loved the experience and that you received your photos so quickly! Providing a smooth, enjoyable experience is always my goal as a San Francisco family and vacation photographer. Thank you again for including me during your visit, and I hope we can capture more great memories together the next time you’re in the Bay Area! Warm regards, Chris Chris Conner Photography – San Francisco Family & Vacation Photographer

Fun and memorable

mgvsqz, Apr 2024

Definitely would recommend Mr. Connor! He took photos of us where you can see everything in San Francisco! Even recommend a couple of cool areas we checked out.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a positive review! It was an absolute pleasure photographing you both during your Crissy Field photoshoot — the views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the city skyline made for an incredible San Francisco backdrop. You two brought such great energy and enthusiasm, which made capturing those fun, natural moments so easy. I’m thrilled that you not only loved the photos but also enjoyed exploring some of the San Francisco landmarks I recommended afterward. There’s so much beauty packed into this city! Next time, we’ll have to plan a session at Baker Beach or Battery Spencer for a completely different perspective of the bridge and coastline. Thank you again for trusting me as your San Francisco photographer. Wishing you both safe travels and hope to see you again on your next Bay Area adventure! Warm regards, Chris Chris Conner Photography – San Francisco Family & Vacation Photographer

Best family experience

Jean_M, Mar 2024

Chris was so gentle with my sick sister trying to accommodate and being very mindful of the situation. Very empathetic with my mother that only speaks Spanish as well. He did a great job while navigating a new space for him, he managed to work through a very crowded space while keeping a big smile. So thankful for his service and impressed by the end product. Great pictures Chris!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Jean, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous review. It was truly a pleasure photographing your family during our Filoli Gardens photoshoot — what a stunning and peaceful location just outside of San Francisco. I really appreciated your family’s warmth and openness, and I’m grateful for the trust you placed in me as we explored the gardens together for the first time. Your family dynamic was incredibly special to witness — your sister showed such resilience and grace, and your mother’s kind spirit and positivity shone through even with the language differences. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love being a Bay Area family photographer — capturing real connection, love, and laughter in meaningful places. I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed both the experience and the final images. Thank you again for inviting me to be part of such a beautiful and memorable session. Wishing your entire family continued happiness and good health, and I hope we’ll have another opportunity to work together in the future. Warm regards, Chris Chris Conner Photography – San Francisco Family & Portrait Photographer

What a fun experience!

Kate_M, Mar 2024

Chris was great to work with. He gave us many options to accommodate for in climate weather. Our pictures were ready that night and we love them. They totally captured our spirit.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Kate - thank you for the amazing review and for your flexibility during the storm. I loved how the two of you enjoyed the experience on the beach; laughing and playing almost like I wasn't there. Thanks again for putting your trust in my photography services and I look forward to hearing from you the next time you're in San Francisco. All the best! Chris

Flexible and professional

Charles_R, Nov 2023

Chris was a consummate professional and able to schedule us despite very short notice. He took us to great locations and was able to turn around the complete set of photos in very little time. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting SF and wanting a photo shoot, as his passion for it is clear from his exemplary work.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you, Charles, for the wonderful review..! It was a pleasure working with the two of you and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together; and can't wait for the new baby to arrive!

ChrisConnerさんはすごく優しくて、色々と提案したり、安心して写真撮れる環境を用意してくれました。 1月には15:30~16:30が写真撮れるいいタイミングでした。場所はBaker Beach.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear Amaru, Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m thrilled to hear that you both had such a wonderful experience during your couples photoshoot at Baker Beach. It’s one of the most breathtaking locations in San Francisco, with its sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, soft ocean light, and wide-open sand — the perfect setting for natural, romantic portraits. You two were fantastic to photograph — relaxed, connected, and open to creative ideas, which made the session flow so smoothly. I’m so glad the timing worked perfectly for the light that evening and that you love the final images. Capturing authentic emotion against such an iconic backdrop is what makes San Francisco couples photography so rewarding. Thank you again for trusting me to document your story, and I hope we’ll have the opportunity to create more beautiful photos together on your next visit to San Francisco. Warm regards, Chris Chris Conner Photography – San Francisco Couples & Vacation Photographer
