Ars Magna is Latin for great art.

Ars Magna Studio is an adventurous portrait, wedding and destination event studio based in San Diego, California. We specialize in creating unique works of art that combine our clients’ personalities and our artistic vision.

We have enjoyed working with many exceptional clients whose enthusiasm, trust, and collaboration has helped fuel our vision and allowed us to embrace our own passion for life and art.

Our projects and adventures have taken us to Mexico, Italy, France, Canada, Japan, Thailand, the Republic of Texas, and throughout the United States.

We are also expanding and fostering relationships with other local artists through the creation of an annual gallery and book showing. The studio is seeking partnerships with other artists in order to increase awareness, development, and visibility of the local art community.

And for fellow grammarians and word-lovers, ars magna is also an anagram of anagrams.

These clients live at 100%.  Which makes them amazing to hang out with, and wonderful to photograph.

One of my favorites from yesterday’s wedding at Leal Winery:

Intimate | Boston Boudoir | J.

The beautiful J., who after much talk built up the courage to do a boudoir shoot with me.  So glad she stepped in front of the camera.
