Hello!  My name is Patricia Alvarez, owner and photographer of Dore Studio. My mother, Audrey Revell, bought the studio in 1951.  Since then, it has been operated by an all women staff. We pride ourselves in our over fifty years of professionalism and creativity capturing the perfect look. For us photography is not just work, it is our passion. We focus on creating a fun and exciting experience that enables us to capture your most glamorous self.

Dore Studio is the oldest photographic studio in San Francisco.  Our portraits have become a family tradition for generations of clients capturing their most memorable moments like Quinceañeras, Graduations, Weddings and Family reunions. We use both traditional and contemporary photography in order to capture those unforgettable moments and special times in your life. We offer individual make-up, hairstyles, plus our large collection of gowns, furs, feather-boas, and tuxedos which will create a photo session you’ll never forget. We create true works of art using the latest digital imaging technology that you and your family will cherish for generations to come.

Remember these portraits are for you, so be creative and have a good time.
