Kathleen Sheffer Photography

commercial event and lifestyle photography

As one of the top event photographers in the San Francisco Bay Area, I've worked with Trusted by brands ranging from Redfin to Veuve Clicquot, Kathleen Sheffer is one of the top event photographers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her clients tell stories of relationships, company culture, new beginnings, and growth through documentary photography.

“Kathleen was superior to work with! She was able to easily adjust to any last minute event changes and always arrived ready to hit the ground running. She needed no direction and delivered phenomenal content that we were able to deliver to the brand for internal as well as for social media. Kathleen is incredibly creative, resourceful and respectful. I look forward to hiring her again for future events!”

“Kathleen is a brilliant photographer. She brings our events alive. Hire her. Just do it!”

—Emily S.

“Kathleen is incredible. Somehow, SOMEHOW (!!!) she is intuitively able to capture people at their best - in that split second between awkward moments. And believe me, I’m awkward, especially in front of the camera, but Kathleen made me see myself in a whole new light - and wow, what a great feeling. It’s magic! …though come to think of it, I guess Kathleen’s work ethic, wisdom, creative eye, and down-to-earth personality probably have something to do with it, too.”
