Photography at the Edge of the Bay
Sausalito sits at the very tip of Marin, where the bay narrows and San Francisco appears across the water. It's one of the most visually dramatic places in the Bay Area — the hillside houseboats, the ferry landing, the Marin Headlands rising behind everything — and it makes for genuinely stunning family and maternity photography.
I photograph families, newborns, and maternity sessions in and around Sausalito, including the Headlands just over the hill. Whether you're in a houseboat on the water or a hillside home with bay views, your home and surroundings are part of the story.
Favorite Locations in Sausalito
Sausalito Waterfront
The ferry pier, Bridgeway along the bay, the harbor — the Sausalito waterfront has some of the best light in Marin, especially in the morning and at golden hour. The San Francisco skyline across the water makes every portrait feel cinematic.
Marin Headlands
Just minutes from downtown Sausalito, the Headlands offer dramatic coastal scenery — clifftop trails, sweeping ocean views, wildflowers in spring. One of the most spectacular outdoor photography settings in the entire Bay Area.
Dunphy Park
A small waterfront park in the heart of Sausalito with bay views, shade trees, and a relaxed energy. Great for family portraits and toddler milestone sessions where you want something low-key but beautiful.
In Your Home
Sausalito homes — houseboats, hillside cottages, bay-view condos — have a character that's hard to find anywhere else. In-home sessions here always feel specific and real, anchored to where you actually live.
Sessions in Sausalito
In-Home Newborn Photography
In-home lifestyle sessions for babies typically 5–21 days old. I come to your Sausalito home — houseboat, hillside, or anywhere in between — and work gently around your newborn's schedule.
Family Sessions
The waterfront, Dunphy Park, the Headlands, or in your home. Genuine, warm portraits of your family — the real moments, in the places that are actually yours.
Maternity Photography
Best between 28–36 weeks. The Marin Headlands at golden hour is one of the most dramatic maternity settings I've ever worked in — or in your Sausalito home for something intimate.
Headshots
Natural-light headshots for Sausalito professionals and creatives. The waterfront and hillside settings make for backgrounds that feel elevated without being generic.

I'm Cass — I've been photographing Bay Area families since 2018. Sausalito and the Headlands are some of my favorite places to work — the light, the drama, the sense of place. My approach is warm and unhurried: I follow your family's lead, document what's genuinely there, and try to make the whole session feel easy. Every session includes 30+ edited digital images delivered within two weeks. Learn about all session types, pricing, and availability at Marin Mini Sessions.
