History

Established in 1998.

I have been a professional portrait photographer specializing in Families, Weddings and Seniors for 14 years. I began as a professional photo assistant before opening my portrait studio. I worked with advertising and celebrity photographers to fine tune my skills after I completed a photography degree from Chaffey College. My training from Chaffey gave me the aesthetics of a fine artist and my time assisting gave me superb technical skills. I was fortunate to work on national advertising campaigns and also create lighting for many of Hollywood’s A-​list celebrities. When my training was complete I wanted to live a less hectic life. I chose to use my talents capturing art and emotion with everyday people. I’m a father and I believe family is a beautiful thing. All of the hard work we put into our families deserves to be recognized with a work of art that expresses all of the love and emotion we invest.

Meet the Business Owner

Michael N.

Business Owner

I have loved photography and art since I was 16 years old. It all began being on the High School yearbook staff at Etiwanda H.S. I was asked to go out an shoot a roll of film and make a print. Immediately it was apparent I had a unique way of seeing things and creating. I continued with that in my senior year by being the photo editor of both yearbook and newspaper and was also the photo editor within my first year of college. It was undeniable I had some natural talent and passion for creating. Read more about my education in the business history section if your interested.

I’m a father, and artist and an athlete. In that order specifically. My first role is to be the best I can be for my two sons. I believe that living an extraordinary life is key in being good parent. So… I follow my passion as an artist and a competitive cyclist to lead the way for my boys to live their own extraordinary lives.

I love my life and very passionate about living it.
