Southern California Portrait Photographer
The smiles, the milestones, the people you love.
"Captured our family photos with 10 of us perfectly. Incredibly patient and fun with the tricky young people, and got amazing shots we'll treasure forever."

About
Hi, I'm Mitch.
I'm a Riverside-based photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing real moments across Southern California. Most of my work is weddings, but I also offer portrait sessions for families, expecting parents, graduating seniors, and professionals who need a polished headshot.
My approach is the same regardless of who's in front of the camera. Relaxed, unobtrusive, and focused on the real moments. I'll give light direction when it helps, but mostly I'm here to chase the looks, the laughs, and the quiet moments in between.

FAQ
Common Questions
How long is a portrait session?
Mini sessions run about 20 minutes, standard sessions are around an hour, and adventure sessions go up to two hours with location flexibility. We'll pick the right length based on what you have in mind.
What should we wear?
Coordinate, don't match. I'll send a styling guide once we book that covers colors, layers, and what photographs well in natural light. The short version: stick to two or three complementary tones and avoid loud logos or bright neons.
Where do we shoot?
Anywhere across Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and San Diego counties with no travel fees. Popular spots include local parks and beaches, your home or backyard, and university campuses for grad sessions. Have a place in mind? I'm open to it.
Can we bring kids and pets?
Yes to both. Family sessions with little ones and pets are some of my favorites. I'll give light direction and chase the real moments as they happen.
How soon will we get our photos?
Sneak peeks within a week, full galleries within two to three weeks. Rush turnaround available on request.
