Your Story is Worth Holding Onto
Photography and Films, crafted into Wall Art, Albums and Stories that preserve the People, Moments, and Memories that matter most
However it’s told, the story always comes first
The Side of You Worth Celebrating. ABSOLUTELY.
Personality is a guided, playful experience designed to bring out the parts of you that don’t usually make it into framed wall art — but absolutely deserve to be there. We’ll put on some music, dance around a bit and strike a pose (or two, or twenty). This is about celebrating your inner joy so you look back on this day and it puts a smile on your face, regardless of whichever side of the bed you woke up on that morning.
EVERYDAY IS A MILESTONE. It Deserves To Be Told By You
With deliberate planning, gentle guidance, and a slower pace, we create Portraits and Stories that honor connection, history, and the season of life you’re in — right now.

Meet the Team
Together, with more than 30 years in the feature film and TV entertainment business, we are post-production professionals who love to create memories and moments.
Serving the Southern California area and beyond, we are a low-volume boutique Video and Portrait Photography Studio who whole-heartedly believes we should be celebrating our lives with family stories, annual family albums and wall art splashed about our homes with reckless abandon.
Our concierge-level approach to your experience with us means we guide you through the entire process prior to and following your session day. For Portraits this includes a personalized consultation where we discuss clothing, styling, and art placement in your home, what to expect on session day and a follow-up session with an ordering presentation where we help you select the best images specifically for your album and installation of your chosen pieces. For Videos all the same things apply except we show you a work-in-progress edit for feedback and tweaks as you desire for the final output.
Whether you choose artwork, a family story (or both!), we are equally passionate about crafting family connections that leave a lasting impression, a legacy to be shared with family members beyond this generation. These are the moments of who you are in the ‘now’ - your future self will absolutely thank your today self!
Heather Dinkins, CPP
Portrait Photographer
Playing a supporting role and surrounding by imagery for all of these years, it was only a matter of time (and osmosis) that the creative genes would find their way out through a lens.
I have one extremely unique family portrait taken during the holiday season when I was six months old. It perfectly captures the quirky and the elegant which defined our family, but what a missed opportunity to honor that eccentricity as it was hidden on the wall as a 4x6 amongst the patchwork of others in our hallway and it absolutely deserved to be so much larger. This is what fuels my desire to make sure today’s families not only have a guiding hand in telling a story within one frame, but also how it can be celebrated as a prominent conversation piece of artwork within your home.
When I’m not behind the lens, you can find me with my VR headset playing Walkabout Mini Golf or Beat Saber, planning a road trip or finding a new place to go diving.
