Looking for a Photographer in Claremont?
Michael Anthony Photography serves Claremont from our private Valencia, California studio, award-winning family, maternity, senior, dog, headshot, and wedding photography for families across Los Angeles County.
Claremont is the city of trees and PhDs, the Colleges' stone and oaks, the Village's storefronts, and our wedding clients know Padua Hills Theatre on its hillside above.
Claremont seniors and families bring collegiate gravitas to the Valencia studio, and it photographs beautifully.
About 60 minutes from our Valencia studio.
Photography Services in Claremont, CA
One studio, every chapter, from the first ultrasound photo to the wedding aisle. Each session below is its own craft, with its own page to explore.
Claremont Family Photographer
Family portraits are the heart of our work for Claremont. Most sessions happen in the private Valencia studio, sculpted lighting, hand-painted backdrops, and wardrobe guidance for every family member, so the finished portraits feel like art rather than a template.
It's why families from across Los Angeles County make the drive: light that never depends on the weather, a session that runs on your children's pace, and an in-person reveal where we design the wall art your home is missing.
Maternity Photography in Claremont
Our maternity sessions are the most personal portraits we make for Claremont mothers. The studio's couture gown wardrobe is included, there is nothing to buy, and every frame is directed and lit so you feel like the subject of a painting at the height of an extraordinary chapter.
The Valencia studio is appointment-only and reserved exclusively for you: about 60 minutes from our Valencia studio. Partners and big brothers and sisters are always welcome in the frame.
Claremont Senior Pictures
Senior year deserves better than a school template. We photograph Claremont seniors in the studio with editorial direction, wardrobe planning, multiple looks, and set changes that give announcements all the variety they need, no weather required.
Athletes, musicians, dancers, artists: bring the jersey or the instrument. The goal is a portrait confident enough for the graduation announcement and beautiful enough for the wall.
Dog Photography for Claremont Pets
They're family, we photograph them like it. Studio dog portraits on hand-painted backdrops, lit like fine art, made with endless patience and a pocket full of treats.
Claremont dogs and their humans are equally welcome in the frame, and many families pair a dog portrait with a family session in a single studio visit.
Headshots & Personal Branding in Claremont
Polished, modern headshots for Claremont professionals, executives, agents, physicians, attorneys, and actors, photographed in the studio or on site at your office or venue.
Personal-branding sessions go further: an art-directed library of editorial images for your website, press, and social presence, built around what you actually do.
Claremont Wedding Photographer
Michael is a PPA Master Photographer twice named the #1 wedding photographer in America, with weddings documented across nine countries, and Claremont couples book that same artistry close to home.
From intimate ceremonies at Padua Hills Theatre (weddings) to grand celebrations across greater Los Angeles, every wedding is photographed, and filmed, as legacy, not coverage.
What Does a Claremont Photographer Cost?
Your session is a styled studio experience with a private, in-person reveal, and you invest only in the finished artwork you love, museum-grade wall art, albums, and image boxes, with 12-month interest-free financing available. Every session fee and collection is published openly, so there are no surprises.
Portraits Worth the Drive from Claremont
The Claremont Colleges' quads · The Village · Padua Hills Theatre (weddings) · Memorial Park's oaks, the landmarks of home. The portraits happen in the studio, where the light always cooperates.
We don’t take photos, we craft legacies. The portrait on your wall should mean more every year it hangs there.
