Photographer · Yucaipa, California

Family, portrait & music photography.

Sessions in Yucaipa, Redlands and across the Inland Empire, timed to the last hour of light. Every family receives a private gallery, a slideshow set to music and print-ready cards.

I photograph families, expecting parents, portraits and musicians: the whole group facing the camera, then the in-between moments nobody posed for.

Selected work

About an hour outdoors, usually under the oaks or in an open field near sunset. Everyone together first, then parents, siblings and each kid on their own.

About

Michael Rochin

I'm a photographer based in Yucaipa. I photograph families, expecting parents, portraits and musicians, on Fujifilm medium-format and Canon cameras.

Most family sessions happen in the last hour of daylight, when the light goes gold and everyone has stopped worrying about the camera. I edit every photo myself, and I deliver them the way I'd want my own family's photos delivered: all in one place, built to be shared and printed.
