Rediscovering my hometown with my two boys has inspired me to see the old and familiar in a new light. The pandemic has definitely encouraged me to spend more time outdoors, and experience all the things my sons and I have never got around to doing together. I took advantage of my time off and explored my own backyard, turning it into many adventures that we will never forget. Seeing my boys explore with their fresh eyes, and watching them enjoy themselves has given me more of a reason to really love San Francisco.

Francess Santos is a freelance photographer born and raised in San Francisco. Santos picked up her first camera in the early ‘90s, taking pictures of her friends at the San Francisco Ballet. She bought countless disposable cameras at her local corner store. Working in the hospitality industry gave her the opportunity to document travel, events, food, and beverage. As the “momager” to @TheTjandJaxShow, she can’t help but be their paparazzi and number one fan. Most recently, she has been focused on collaborating and creating content for brands to help drive business awareness.
