Fine Art Portraits That Become Legacy
I recently had my first professional photoshoot with Brady Thomas of Brady Thomas Photography (https://www.bradythomasphotography.com) in Benica. It was an amazing experience and I had to share with my clients.
Brady is an award‑winning master photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area who specializes in fine art portraiture. From business headshots, bridal, couples, maternity, equine and pet portraits, and more.
We did a mix of family photos with our dogs, hobby photos, and headshots all in one session at her beautiful studio. Her studio lives in a lovingly restored brick building in Historic Benicia Arsenal. It is filled with light, architectural texture, and old‑world character.
What makes Brady exceptional:
She believes fine art portraits are not just images, but heirlooms for generations. Her pieces can live on your walls for 300 years because she works exclusively with a single fine art printmaker in Italy who's prints are handcrafted to last centuries.
Every session is a custom storytelling experience: from a discovery consultation to a wardrobe fitting, professional hair & makeup, and guided posing so you always feel supported and confident.
My Experience & Favorites
I’m thrilled with how my personal portraits turned out. You’ll see a few favorites below. But beyond that, the whole experience felt curated, calm, and we had so much fun even though we were nervous. Brady guided me every step of the way, and I left feeling seen in a way I’ve never been in front of a camera.
The whole experience was luxurious from snacks to studio ambiance, you feel pampered and supported.
