Baker Beach Anniversary Portraits: Janelle & Nick

TGIF!  Anniversary sessions are the THING this year!  Today, I’m just elated to share with you Janelle & Nick’s one-year anniversary shoot in San Francisco!

These two are Coloradans who traveled to San Francisco to celebrate one year of marriage this October!  And what a refreshing session it was!

We met at Baker Beach for a quintessential San Fran shoot with some of the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge.  These two were just a pure joy to photograph.  And much to my surprise, Janelle showed up to the shoot with the sweetest little baby bump!  So these were a tiny bit maternity photos, but the focus for all of us was definitely on the love that these two share as best friends, spouses, and parents.  It’s easy to tell these two are besties: they are always laughing.  Nick is a sweet, kind gentleman to her and Janelle is a graceful woman full of joy and laughter.

Friends, thank you for setting aside some time to honor and document this time in your marriage! Congratulations on one year down.  Looking forward seeing your family grow as you celebrate decades more of marriage!

And if any of you are ever interested in a René Tate Anniversary Experience either in Colorado or California, don’t hesitate to contact me at info@renetate.com for information!  These sessions, regardless of if you’re married for 1 year, 25 years, or 32 years, are an incredible way to honor your marriage and your decision to choose each other every day.  Love is a choice and you have a legacy to carry on in your families and for your children.  We live in a world that so easily welcomes divorce and each year you’ve chosen plow through the hard times and to not give up is a year worthy of documentation.

Happy Friday, friends! I hope you enjoy this beautiful session!
René

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
