How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I have always loved photography. In 1972, when I was engaged, my future in-laws ran a photo studio. I was trained as a photographer, and soon started my own business. Now, thousands of Weddings and Portraits later, I still love it.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We offer caring personal service to satisfy the needs of our wonderful clients, who in response, have written many glowing testimonials of our Photography & Video services.

From our Studio in Harbor City we photograph all over the South Bay and beyond. Our six children have grown up, actively involved in the business. They now have families of their own, but are still involved in Photography & Video, so we're looking forward to continued business growth, as well. (We currently have 7 GrandChildren, with more to come, so just think of the possibilities the future holds).
