About us
I’m Mario Jerez, a Bay Area native who specializes in lifestyle and portrait photography. My journey into photography began in high school through multimedia classes. Inspired by my multimedia teacher, I went on to pursue my bachelor’s degree in video production.
While in college, I worked behind the scenes as a documentary photographer. After graduating, I picked up photography as a light hobby and began shooting portraits for families, communities, and special events. That’s when I realized this was more than just a hobby—it was an opportunity to help people capture meaningful moments in time.
Since 2016, I’ve been creating beautiful portraits for couples, parents-to-be, graduating students, pet owners, military and service professionals, and organizations. I focus on coaching my clients so they feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, creating a relaxed and enjoyable portrait experience.
When I’m not networking or crafting lifestyle portraits, you’ll find me trying out sushi spots around the Bay Area with friends. I also practice karate, holding a 3rd-degree black belt, and I volunteer as a marketing mentor for a high school robotics team in Concord, CA.
