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
PERSONALITY
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.
LEGACY
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.
IDENTITY
Branding. Clearly Communicated
Through thoughtful branding with a combination of photography, video, and visual assets, we help business owners and professionals communicate who they are and why it matters - clearly, confidently, and without confusion.

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, digital images, annual family albums and wall art splashed about our homes with reckless abandon.
These are moments of who you are in the ‘now’ and while it’s not something everyone thinks about every waking moment of the day… 5 or 10 years from now, your future self will thank your today self and be really glad you took a day (or two!) and made the investment in yourself.
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.
Whether it’s a family affair or a personal journey, celebrating you and your loved ones is way more than a job, it’s a deeply heartfelt passion.
When she’s not behind the lens, she may have a VR headset on and playing Walkabout Mini Golf or Beat Saber, planning a road trip or finding a new place to go diving.
Brian Dinkins
Creative Director, VFX, Editor, Audio Engineer
The creative force behind all our storylines, videos, vfx, audio and editing.
As a Berklee College of Music Alumnus, he envisions your needs in technicolor dreams with creative solutions and always gets excited to see how he can help bring your vision to your own family!
When he’s not editing or also slashing blocks or chasing golf balls in VR, as a classically trained pianist, he spends his down time relaxing and playing tunes from any era that makes him smile.
