San Jose Family Photographer – Photos by Kim E
If you’ve been searching for a San Jose family photographer who goes above and beyond a standard portrait session, you’ve found her. At Photos by Kim E, family sessions aren’t just about showing up, smiling at the camera, and going home. They’re about experiencing time together and remembering the time together with photos. It also includes something kinda awesome, like two locations, one session!
What Makes Photos by Kim E Different?
Most family photographers offer one location per session. You (or they) pick a spot, take your photos, all smile together, and then you’re done. But with Photos by Kim E, two locations are built into the price of your family session and we work together to figure out what works with your family.
Why does this matter? Because two locations means two completely different looks, two different moods, and two entirely different stories of your family told within a single session. Your gallery becomes richer, more varied, and far more personal.
A Real Example: Lovers Lane & Crissy Field in The Presidio
Take this gorgeous San Francisco family session as the perfect example. This sweet family of three got to experience two iconic spots within the Presidio and the results speak for themselves.
First stop: Lovers Lane. Tucked inside the Presidio, Lovers Lane is one of San Francisco’s most magical hidden gems. Tall eucalyptus trees line a path, creating warm, golden tones and soft dappled light. It’s the kind of place that feels like a storybook and it makes for sweet family portraits full of nature full of towering trees.
Second stop: Crissy Field. From being tucked away the forest to the open air of green grass, Karl the Fog, the Golden Gate Bridge, the contrast is amazing and this second location, the Golden Gate Bridge becomes your backdrop. By spending time at another location, with a simple picnic, this allows you to relax, be more playful, and be completely authentic. Just real love, real laughter, and a landmark that stands out.
Two locations. Two completely different feels. One truly awesome and fun session.
Authentic & Fun Over Traditional Portraits
If the idea of stiff, formal family portraits makes you cringe a little, you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. Photos by Kim E specializes in capturing the real moments: the giggles, the mid-air baby tosses, the quiet looks between parents, the pure chaos and love that comes with your family.
These aren’t your traditional family photo session. Because it’s about getting images that feel like you, relaxed, genuine, and full of personality. The two location format helps with this. Moving between spots keeps energy high, keeps kids and parents engaged, and creates natural transitions that lead to more spontaneous, authentic moments. These are the memories that we capture.
