Colette Peri Photography
Colette Peri is a photographer based in Stinson Beach and born and raised in Marin County. In her bright Sausalito studio, she creates playful kids portraits that celebrate big personalities and honest expressions. With bold, colorful backdrops and a relaxed, joy-filled approach, her sessions are designed to feel fun and easy. The result is vibrant, personality-forward imagery that families hold onto for years to come.
Colette also loves photographing commercial products and exploring the intersection of technology and creativity through her stop-motion work. She enjoys the hands-on process of animating scenes frame by frame, bringing a tactile, artful quality to digital storytelling. She has created visual campaigns for brands like Pampers, Pottery Barn Kids, Dunkin, Starbucks, Sony, and REI, as well as emerging brands looking for something imaginative and thoughtfully crafted.
When she’s out of the studio, she’s drawn to capturing her surroundings and finding slightly unexpected perspectives that make familiar places feel new. Her love of being outdoors, especially under redwood trees or along the Northern California coast, naturally led her into landscape photography. After years of people asking to hang her images in their homes, she opened her print shop to make her work more accessible. Her landscape photographs are available as framed prints online and in select Stinson Beach shops.
In addition to photography, Colette teaches workshops and speaks about creativity, encouraging others to look up, slow down, and tap back into their childlike imagination. She lives with her husband Jesse and their two boys, Nico and Arlo, building a creative, nature-filled life together.
