Tripadvisor review: 1-hour San Francisco Bay Area Photography Experience

"My daughter and I had a wonderful experience. Chris had his work cut out for him to overcome my
insecurities and photo-shyness. He figured out how to work with me and the crazy wind! We had a
great time!!"  D&J

"Working with Chris was a total blast. My girlfriend Paige and I loved how organic he made the photos feel. We were both feeling “awkward” going into it, but Chris really did a great job of instructing us on how to capture the best photos. Thankful that we’ll always have these photos to share with our friends and family! "

"My son, Hunter and I, recently had a photo shoot with Chris. We had a fantastic experience! My son is 17, so when I told him the two of us (and our dog were going to have a professional photo session) he was less than thrilled. Chris put us both at ease very quickly and my son actually ended up suggesting some great back drops during the session. Chris took the time to scout the best location for us, which ended up being at the Ronin Sculpture Garden at the Stanford Campus. My son and I would highly recommend Chris' services for your photography needs:)"  Jennifer

"Chris was absolutely amazing to work with. He followed up with me immediately and sent me relevant samples of his work. He also worked around our very tight timeline and turned around finished photos remarkably fast, working over the weekend to get it done. The photos were INCREDIBLE, he captured a lot of great angles and shots of people, product, space, etc. He is clearly passionate about photography and cares deeply about making his clients happy. Would gladly work with him again any day." Sophia F

"Chris arranged a unique and creative photo shoot for our family. Not only did he scout out an amazing location to incorporate colorful texture and variety into every photo but inspired fun and joy in the process.  The results were amazing; we love literally every shot and have included many in a coffee table book as well as framed portraits throughout our home.  We highly recommend working with Chris for a fun, enriching, and memorable experience."

  "Chris’s photos speak for themselves. He not only captures the most extraordinary moments; he transforms the entire process into a fun and memorable experience. We’ll forever treasure our beach engagement photos and couldn’t be happier with Chris’s work. Thanks so much for capturing such an important moment in our lives…. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!"

"Chris was wonderful to work with. He had excellent locations picked out (and did extensive recon beforehand) and was both personable and professional. He guided us through the whole experience from start to finish, making the shoot memorable and fun. He was knowledgeable on poses, ideas, and angles for shots, and the outcomes far exceeded expectations. Most importantly, he made us feel comfortable and captured our love perfectly. I would recommend his services to all my friends and family!"  Katie & Zane 

"There are no words to describe how absolutely incredible and wonderful Chris is as a person and especially as a photographer. We had the honor and privilege of being photographed by Chris in City Hall. He had done intensive research about the best places to take pictures and already knew the location like the back of his hand. Not only this, he made my fiancé and me feel incredibly safe, relaxed, and at ease with his kind and warm demeanor. His creativity speaks for itself, our pictures turned out so beautiful we cried. We will be eternally grateful to Chris for his beautiful work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who oozes talent and has the warmth and kindness to boot!"  Mayra & Stu

"Anniversaries are special and even more so when you spend it with your love ones. We wanted something real but yet fun thus it was only appropriate to have a beach photoshoot. Chris understood what we were looking for and gave great advice on timing of photo shoot, props, location, etc. (if you want stunning pictures, he does know a thing or two *^_^*, so be sure to listen). He also did recon and scout out places in the beach for backgrounds and our pictures came out amazing. Oh, and also important, he’s patient, super sweet and can listen to multiple directions (those who have parents understand). Chris is now my go to photographer for other photoshoot and events and would recommend in a heart beat.

“Working with Chris was fun and effortless. He captured my personality and worked until we got a picture I was really excited about” Rachel B.

"We are not usually a family who tolerates professional photo shoots well! After a few sessions years ago with wiggly kids and exasperated parents, we had given up, but this year we decided to dip our toes in again, and we couldn’t have been more happy that we did with Chris. He is incredibly patient and kept it light and fun; even our teens had fun :) He suggested a great outdoor space for our shoot that was casual and just what we wanted. In under an hour he captured so many great moments.The quality of the pictures were outstanding - thank you, Chris!"  Joel & Hannelore

"We recently did a  family photo session with Chris and could not be more pleased. Chris is easy to connect with and extremely responsive and talented. Our last session 2 years ago was quite intolerable with my wild boys, but with Chris, they had a great time and he captured us all in such an easy and loving way in under an hour. Chris put together a slideshow for us of all the top pics from the day…and they were all amazing!  We couldn’t be happier with and feel so fortunate to have our family photographer for life! His work speaks for itself!’ Michelle M.

"Chris Conner is simply the best ! He is an incredible  photographer and magician with angles , light and atmosphere . He Is so relatable that his subjects relax and and have fun and the photos turn out spectacular ! We highly recommend him."  Robbyn M.

"Chris made the whole experience so much fun from start to finish with his great ideas for action shots with the kids and gorgeous backgrounds of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. The pictures turned out way beyond my expectations. We couldn’t have asked for better weather as it was an incredibly clear and warm evening in SF. I’m so grateful that Chris was able to fit us in to his schedule so I could capture this moment in time with my family!"

"It was a real pleasure working with Chris! I needed some marketing photos and headshots and he made the experience, engaging, fun and comfortable. His experience, flexibility and attention to detail produced exactly what I was looking for and having never taken professional portraits he made it so fun! I would recommend his services for any photography needs. You won’t be disappointed! "

"Chris is great! Such a talented photographer and a really nice guy; we all really enjoyed our photo shoot and the pictures look fantastic! He made us feel really comfortable and at ease — that comes through in the photos." Randy F

"Chris took photos of our daughter and her horse Mushu at a horse show this past fall. We've previously had professional photos taken, but none have captured the unique bond between horse and rider in the way that Chris did. We were thrilled. Chris was a pleasure to work with, thoughtful and proactive. Without our asking, he also captured some beautiful photos of Mushu being hosed down by the groom, which we plan to give him as a Christmas gift. We will absolutely work with Chris again for family and animal photos and highly recommend him!"  Karen D.

"I had the pleasure of working with Chris for a photoshoot on Sept 28th.  I needed pictures for my website and social media.  I am an Esthetician and wanted mainly photos of me working on clients.  Just me in my happy place and content for instagram.  We did some posed shots but most were just natural.  The pictures came out really well. He captured me doing what I love to do.   Chris was professional, funny and very down to earth.  He made me feel really comfortable.  I would definitely use him again for future photoshoots."  Julia S., EstyJewels

“As an emerging interior designer in San Francisco the competition is fierce and having good photographs of my work is a must.  Chris recently shot one of my favorite projects of 2021, and with his artistic eye he was able to catch the best angles and lighting.  In addition, he took a few cute photos of myself which I am using on my website.  He is a joy to work with and I would recommend hiring him for your next interiors or portrait shoot.” Laura E., Refined Interiors.

“Chris is a terrific photographer with a great eye for detail. He took pictures of me with my new sports car that really captured its curves. Chris is very easy to work with and very professional. I’d recommend him highly.”
