Portrait Photographers in San Luis Obispo, CA

I have worked with a professional DJ ( DJ Jordan ) making promotional content I have also shot two weddings, some music videos. I film with a glidecam stabilizer to ensure professional quality. I enjoy filming and the editing process, but most of all seeing the customer happy with the final product.

As a child in the 90s, I was captivated by the instant magic of my Polaroid i-Zone, and from that moment on, I was hooked on photography. As I grew older, my love for photography only deepened as I dove into the world of DSLR cameras. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, I strive to capture the essence of life's most precious moments, whether it's the soft glow of a golden hour, the laughter of loved ones, or the quiet intimacy of a solitary landscape. I love discovering what makes each person unique and bringing that out with each photograph!

Hello, my name is Emileo. I am a 23-year-old freelance photographer with experience in capturing timeless moments for magazines, celebrities, brands, engagements, etc. I have a deep passion for photography because I believe every photo tells a story. I have over four years of experience in many different environments: landscape, studio's, real estate, businesses, portraits, and family photos. My goal is to take the best photos with the best customer service possible! So how will we approach the photoshoot? The closer I can make it feel like you're not at a photoshoot, the better. This makes the photos turn out really natural and beautiful. I do shoot digital and also on film, during your session we could shoot one or the other or both! I look forward to meeting you and feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Blessings, Emileo
