About Me

"Big city photos in a small town"

That pretty much sums it up. Around395 is located in Ridgecrest, CA, a small town in the Mojave desert. Without the advantage of having a nearby, large city, most people are unaware they have options when it comes to photography. Photography has evolved over the years. It's become more than a stale pose inside a dark studio. It has taken on something special, the form of art. Especially true with outdoor (location) photography. Commonly referred to as lifestyle photography.

I'm a 1 man [work] team. I do all the photography and editing myself. That way, you receive consistent results every time. I say "work team" because I couldn't do this without you.

Photos here should be fun. Think outside the box. Don't be afraid to get a little bit dirty. Most of the places I choose as backdrops probably wouldn't get a second look to anyone without a camera.

Outfits - Combined with unique backgrounds, this is how I help make your images unique. Dress up. Wear bright colors, with lots of accessories. Remember, I'm all about individuality. I want your images to shine above the rest. Images you'll be proud of. Every image should reflect your personality.

Because of the nature of location sessions, I'm out of the studio just as much (or more) than I'm in it. So it's always best to call or email before stopping by. Wouldn't want you to waste a trip.
