Biography

I’m Nathaniel Stahmer, a California-born photographer passionate about capturing artistic, story-driven moments across Southern California.

I specialize in sports, portraits, graduations, and weddings, but my love for photography started with nature. Whether it’s a game-winning moment or a stunning landscape, I believe every photo should tell a story and capture true joy. One of my favorite experiences has been working with schools that don’t often get media coverage, allowing students to see themselves through professional photography for the first time.

My approach is all about working closely with clients to bring their vision to life. From the first consultation to the final photo delivery, I’m here every step of the way, offering flat-rate packages because, to me, there are no upgrades in art—just pure expression.

I have a deep love for film photography, as it requires time and careful consideration with each shot, making every image feel intentional. I’m also inspired by the beauty of landscapes and love telling stories through nature. Fun facts: I hold two powerlifting state records, I’ve flown a plane, and I once owned a vintage Jaguar XJ.
