About Me!

Hi!  I'm John Lawson, aka the guy behind the camera. I’m a seasoned photographer with a passion for capturing moments that last a lifetime. Originally hailing from a small town in Northern California, my upbringing instilled in me a sense of community, a willingness to help others and an eye for detail that continues to influence my photography work today. 
Photography Journey: I believe that "every picture tells a story.” I specialize in a range of photography genres from editorial and commercial to family portraits and boudoir sessions. Through the boudoir sessions, I strive to empower women to embrace their beauty. Creating artistic, memorable images coupled with seeing the heartfelt (and often emotional) reactions of the women I photograph brings me a sense of accomplishment as a photographer. 
Philosophy: For me, photography is not just about capturing images; it's about creating lasting memories and evoking emotions. I thrive on the challenge of achieving the perfect shot, knowing that each image holds the potential to become a cherished keepsake. My dedication extends beyond the lens. I go above and beyond for my clients, ensuring their comfort in front of the camera and working tirelessly until they're satisfied with the results. 
Legacy: As a retired law enforcement professional dedicated to service, I bring a unique blend of skills and experiences to my craft. Whether I'm capturing the joy of a couple's wedding day, the thrill of graduation, the importance of a corporate event, or the intimacy of a boudoir session, my goal remains the same: to create timeless images that resonate with my clients for years to come. Through my photography, I hope to inspire others to see the beauty in themselves and the world around them.
