Our Story

Lumiere Lens Studio began as a dream in the heart of Isabella Rossi, a San Francisco native with a lifelong passion for photography. Growing up amidst the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of the Bay Area, Isabella was captivated by the power of images to tell stories, capture emotions, and preserve memories. After graduating from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2008, she honed her skills working as a freelance photographer, covering everything from local events to corporate headshots.
In 2010, driven by a desire to create a photography studio that prioritized artistry, quality, and personalized service, Isabella founded Lumiere Lens Studio in the Mission District. Starting with a small studio space and a dedicated team of two, the studio quickly gained a reputation for its exceptional photography and commitment to client satisfaction. Word-of-mouth referrals spread, and Lumiere Lens Studio soon became a sought-after destination for portraits, event coverage, and commercial photography throughout San Francisco.
Over the years, Lumiere Lens Studio has evolved and expanded, embracing new technologies and techniques while staying true to its core values. The studio moved to a larger, state-of-the-art facility in 2018, allowing for even more creative possibilities. Today, Lumiere Lens Studio is proud to be a leading photography provider in the Bay Area, serving a diverse clientele with a wide range of photographic needs.
We believe that every photograph should be a work of art, carefully crafted to capture the unique essence of the subject. Whether it's a family portrait, a corporate event, or a product shot, we approach each project with passion, creativity, and a dedication to excellence. Our story is one of continuous growth, learning, and a relentless pursuit of photographic perfection.
