Looking for a Photographer in Santa Clarita?

Michael Anthony Photography serves Santa Clarita from our private Valencia, California studio, award-winning family, maternity, senior, dog, headshot, and wedding photography for families across Los Angeles County.

Santa Clarita is our home valley, fourteen years of clients from Towsley Canyon to Old Town Newhall to the oak-studded hills off Placerita, photographed in the studio they think of as the valley's own.

Families, seniors, and mothers-to-be get the full studio experience in Valencia, ten minutes away, fourteen years of neighbors photographed in the same painterly light.

Ten minutes from our Valencia studio, this valley is our backyard.

Families

Santa Clarita Family Photographer

Family portraits are the heart of our work for Santa Clarita. 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

Maternity Photography in Santa Clarita

Our maternity sessions are the most personal portraits we make for Santa Clarita 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: ten minutes from our Valencia studio, this valley is our backyard. Partners and big brothers and sisters are always welcome in the frame.

Seniors

Santa Clarita Senior Pictures

Senior year deserves better than a school template. We photograph Santa Clarita 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.

Dogs & Their Humans

Dog Photography for Santa Clarita 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.

Santa Clarita 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.
