MEET ISABELLA, PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER IN DALY CITY
Hey there! I'm Isabella, a portrait photographer based in Daly City, and I've been photographing people professionally since 2018. I photograph portraits at San Francisco City Hall, on wedding and elopement days and on any other day, and I photograph families across San Francisco and the northern Peninsula. I also take engagement and senior sessions around the Bay Area.
Most of the people I photograph have never booked a session before, and plenty of them don't enjoy being in front of a camera. So I plan the details with you: I'll suggest a location, send an outfit guide, check the forecast the week before, and give short prompts during the session so nobody has to guess what to do. Every photo is edited by hand, and I never use AI to change how you look. My prices are posted on each page, and your gallery arrives within two weeks.
Photography started as a hobby, snapping my friends, my pets, and everyday life. It didn't take long for it to become something more meaningful. I realized how much I love capturing people as they are, not just how they look, but how they feel in a moment.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me watching anime, planning my next trip, or deep in a cosplay project. My photos have even been published in Cosplay Glade Magazine! (Curious about my cosplay work? Check it out here.) Travel and creativity have always been a big part of my life. I've been lucky enough to visit all seven continents, and those trips taught me how to adapt on the fly, find beauty in everyday moments, and connect with people from all kinds of backgrounds.
That shows up in how I work: curious, open, and always paying attention to what's actually happening. Whether it's a beach in Half Moon Bay, a garden at Filoli, or the Grand Staircase at City Hall, I'm there to make it easy. I'll guide you with simple prompts, help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and cheer you on the whole time. You'll leave with photos that look the way the day felt. I can't wait to meet you!
