My name is Brady Thomas, and I'm an award-winning professional portrait photographer based in Benicia, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. I create custom headshots and business portraits, contemporary and vintage beauty photographs, bridal, boudoir, couple, maternity, and family fine art images, and pet and equestrian portraiture.
This is a collection of some of my recent studio and outdoor portraiture. I photograph women, men, couples, children, and families of all ages, including pets. I particularly love creating fine artwork for celebrations and milestones in our lives. These are legacy portraits that will be hung on your family's walls to be cherished for generations.
Our pets are part of the family, and it brings us as much joy to have beautiful portraits of them on our walls as it does to have portraits of our children. Be sure to include them in your family photoshoots, as well as a fine art photoshoot of your beloved pet alone. Wall art is wonderful to admire your pets now, and a precious heirloom to remember them after they've crossed the bridge.

There are lots of photographers in the Bay Area -- and then there's Brady Thomas! The experience begins with her kind and accommodating manner and thoughtful planning for the photo shoot. Brady has an impeccable eye for detail and 'sees' the finished product as she plans each shot. Her studio is gorgeous with lighting and textures she utilizes like an artist -- and she is! Thanks so much for the beautiful headshots, Brady. I am very pleased!

I had several leads for potential headshot photographers, but ultimately chose Brady. Her professionalism, personal attention, artistic sensibilities, and warmth distinguished her from the others. During the pre-consultation session, Brady strove to understand my objectives, listened compassionately to my concerns, and helped me clarify my brand. Additionally, Brady provided great tips for wardrobe and accessories leading up to the shoot. I loved the ambience of her Vallejo studio and the opportunity it offered for multiple backgrounds and varied light conditions. Throughout the shoot I felt pampered

I am so utterly impressed with Brady Thomas- her patience, her attention to detail, her commitment to making sure her clients shine. For over 21 years, I've worked in an industry where a professional headshot is common, and I've had many that were ok. No comparison... Brady captured my personality and, for the first time ever, I'm excited to update my business cards and advertisements with her amazing and professional headshots. I 100% recommend Brady Thomas Photography.

Brady is amazing! I just got my headshots and they are incredible. I couldn't be happier. During the photoshoot she knew just the right things to make me smile just the right way. It was incredibly easy. She knows how to play with light! She used the natural light and all of her screens and flashes and made me look amazing. I will never go back to any other photographer for my headshots. You can feel confident that Brady will take care of you!

I was looking for a creative way to celebrate my daughter’s upcoming graduation. I wanted to book a photo session as a graduation gift to her. In my search for a photographer, I was impressed with Brady’s online portfolio. My daughter is very shy. At the consultation Brady took time to establish a rapport with my daughter. They talked about her creativity, likes/dislikes, hobbies, etc. Brady took that information and customized a session that will forever be a memorable day for my daughter. The day of the shoot was everything we hoped it would be. To Brady’s credit, my daughter was at ease

Brady Thomas is incredible! Obviously, she has the eye of a skilled photographer, yet there is so much more to her. My mom has always been wary of getting photos done (she’s self-conscious of her smile); however, it was time for her to get new headshots and she trusted Brady to do them. I got to be there for the photo shoot. Brady took such great care of my mom! She created a safe, fun, and warm environment. She had the different shots pre-planned. Brady made my mom feel comfortable and got some great photos!
I recently consulted with Brady so I can look great on Zoom. My business has me on

I was so fortunate to have discovered Brady Thomas Photography a few years ago. Not only is Brady an internationally-recognized photographer of fine art family and individual portraits, she is an intuitive and emotionally-intelligent professional, who captures the essence of the people and the pets in her photos. Brady painstakingly devotes the time and focus to get to know each of her “subjects”, something rarely seen in the open market. Prior to meeting Brady, I hired photographers in both my personal and professional life who took short-cuts resulting in rather mediocre shots. Not Brady
