From Sierra Madre to our studio

From Sierra Madre to a portrait planned in studio

Kersting Court, Memorial Park, and Bailey Canyon are geographic reference points in Sierra Madre’s foothill setting. Your Studio 23 session takes place in Valencia, where family, maternity, and pet portraits are planned with finished artwork in mind.

If your pet will be part of the photographs, describe what helps them engage and what makes them cautious. Let us know whether they will be alone, beside one person, or with a larger family group. Familiar toys and suitable treats can be part of that preparation discussion.

Tell us what helps your pet engage

Describe your pet’s energy and sensitivities, share the familiar items that hold their attention, and name the people you hope to include beside them.

Portrait photography for Sierra Madre

Every chapter.
Everyone you love.

Find the photographs that feel like you. We will shape the studio experience around the people and companions in your story.

Family portraits for Sierra Madre

Your people, together.

Think about a portrait everyone will see at home, or an album that gives each relationship its own place.

From a parent and child to the generations you want in one frame, we begin with who belongs in your portrait. Share the groupings that matter to you, then we can plan the clothing, positioning, and details together.

Start with a palette.

Lay your outfits together and look at the colors as a group. Solid colors and subtle textures keep attention on faces. Think about the room where your artwork might live, too.

Can we include several generations?

Tell us who you would like in the portrait, including the number of adults and children. That helps us plan the groupings, styling, and space around your family.

Maternity portraits for Sierra Madre

A chapter worth keeping.

A single portrait can hold the moment. An album can keep the quieter connections alongside it.

Flowing fabric, a quiet expression, or a portrait with the people sharing this chapter. Bring the photographs and shapes you love to the planning conversation. We will talk about timing, comfort, the gown collection, and any personal pieces you want to include.

Plan your timing together.

Reach out with the timing you have in mind and any comfort considerations you would like us to know. We’ll discuss available dates and shape a plan around you.

When should I plan my maternity portrait?

Get in touch while you are planning this chapter. We’ll discuss your timing, comfort, and the portraits you have in mind, then look at studio availability together.

Pet portraits for Sierra Madre

All of their character.

A favorite expression can become a wall portrait or a smaller piece that keeps their personality close every day.

Tell us about the companion you know so well: their energy, what holds their attention, and anything that makes a new space unfamiliar. We will discuss the plan for a portrait of your pet alone or together with their people.

Bring the familiar.

Pack your pet’s usual lead or carrier and a favorite toy or suitable treat. Familiar items can help us connect with their attention and personality.

What should I bring for my pet?

Bring their usual lead or carrier and a few familiar favorites, such as an appropriate treat or toy. Tell us about any sensitivities or needs before your visit so we can plan with you.

The portrait is the beginning

A place in your life.

Bring a photograph of a wall or the approximate dimensions of a space you love. At your projected reveal, we can consider the portraits together and explore how they will live with you.
