Benicia Photographer – San Francisco Bay Area

My name is Brady Thomas, and I’m a photographer in Benicia, California.

I specialize in beautiful fine art portraits that often look like paintings, joyful and connected family photos, effective contemporary headshots and well-crafted personal branding business images, and legacy pet and equestrian portraiture. I offer custom portrait experiences to celebrate women, men, couples, families, engagement, pre and post-wedding bridal, boudoir, high school seniors, dancers, equestrians, pets, horses.

Your (mostly) well-behaved pets are welcome in my studio, and I am happy to travel to your home for pet photography, and certainly to your barn for equestrian portraits.


In your complimentary consultation, we'll discover how you have always wanted to be photographed. I will ask for your Why, and we'll celebrate it! We'll discuss what you'd love to wear, and I'll teach you what photographs well. We'll talk about colors, fabrics, sets, and custom hair & makeup artistry that you love. If you're here with your partner or family, we'll talk about your stories, and explore what I can create for you to tell those stories for generations to come.

If you're a business person here for headshots, we'll discuss your brand, your product, your market, your message, and your best client. It's my job to create business portraits that compel your best client to pick up the phone.

Whether for a studio portrait experience just for you, with your partner or family (and pets, who are family too!), I look forward to the opportunity to create the most well-crafted, meaningful images you have ever seen of yourself and your loved ones.

Portrait Photographer

Custom fine art photography.

A contemporary or vintage portrait experience with me is a pampering, transformative, and often empowering process. We begin with a pre-shoot consultation to discuss your goals and photography wishes, choose wardrobe and jewelry from your collection or mine, confirm your preferences for beautiful hair and make-up artistry, and list preparations for your custom photo session. What we're doing, really, is collaborating on a high-end magazine-style shoot, featuring you and the people you love.

On the day of your shoot, you are greeted with light snacks and sparkling water, and women go right into a custom make-over. I cheerfully guide you through a high-end, magazine-style photoshoot, coaching you on poses and flattering body angles that change with beautiful backgrounds, furnishings, props and fabrics, and top-of-the-line soft lighting. My team and I are here to support and celebrate you, and I endeavor to create a fun, memorable experience resulting in the best photographs you have ever seen of yourself and your loved ones. These are images that you and your family will cherish every day now, and that your great-grandchildren will hang in their homes.

Headshots and Personal Branding

Both headshot and personal branding sessions begin with a complimentary pre-shoot consultation. I want to know about you, your business, your product or service, and your best clients. This enables me to construct a custom experience and targeted look, using lighting and backdrops that not only showcase the personality of you and your business, but speak to your best potential clients.

pet and equestrian Photographer

See the 'Pets and Horses' page for more on how I feel about creating beautiful artwork of our beloved pets. Horses: My team and I thoughtfully capture candid moments between you and your horse, as well as beautifully posed portraits and landscapes. We are adept at working together to photograph classic portraits of your horse alone in the barn, as well as some great images of your horse at liberty.

Horse and Bride, or your High School senior with his or her horse, is a favorite photoshoot for equestrians. I have been a wedding photographer for over a decade, and a horsewoman for half my life. I love to combine the shape and texture of a flowing wedding dress or seniors gown with the curved lines of a horse. This is a really special photoshoot, a fun day with your horse, and makes an unforgettable gift.
