Over 28Years of award-​Winning Photography by Rick Lofgreen, Master, Craftsman Certified Professional Photographer.

History

Established in 1985.

The Lofgreen’s photo tradition, started with grandpa Lee, owner of «Viking Camera Store» in Bell Gardens California in the 1950’s. His father Joseph picked up the ‘Photo Bug’ and passed it on to him when they moved from California to Arizona. Rick received a 35 mm camera for his 16^th birthday and soon he was taking pictures of everything in sight. He received formal training in the Salt Lake area from a friend who owned a studio there, and after developing a certain style in his portrait work, decided to move back to Arizona and open his own studio. In 1985 Rick and his wife Rometta started shooting portraits in a small apartment in Lakeside, and eventually built up their business to a point where a 3000 square foot studio was constructed to accommodate their needs. Rick attended numerous schools for Photography, eventually earning a Master degree and has twice earned Arizona «Photographer of the year», as well as the same designation in the Western States in 2006.

Rick Lofgreen A.

Business Owner

Rick was born in Covina California, and raised in Carpinteria, surrounded by talented brothers and sisters in the arts including painting and sculpting. Growing up in this environment of creativity, Rick also developed an eye for all things artistic. In his teen years he discovered a gift for composing photos, and after taking a camera to Italy with him for a 2 year mission, found that he had gained a passion for photography.

Upon returning to the states, he contacted a friend in the photo studio business that helped him develop his studio skills, and eventually he and wife Rometta set out on their own to build up a family portrait business in Show Low, Arizona.

30 years later, Rick and Rometta still own ‘Photography by Lofgreen’, a successful studio that has garnered some of the top awards in the industry, including Kodak Gallery awards, Fuji Masterpiece awards, Photographer of the Year awards, and many others.
