At Caught On Film, photography is our passion. We love photographing people, places and things whether it's in our back yard or halfway around the world.

A family owned photography business since 2003, we are based in beautiful San Diego, California. Trying to find a Photographer who does it all? Locally, we specialize in maternity / pregnancy / newborn photography, children's photography and high school senior portrait photos. We also travel the world in search of beautiful scenic photography.

Utilizing the latest in Canon digital photography, we provide beautiful images of whatever captures our eye and imagination. We also utilize powerful Photoshop software to enhance our digital images to perfection, and create digital works of art.

All of our photographs are printed at a Professional photo lab on textured Kodak Supra Endura VC Professional paper. In addition to traditional photographs, we also offer customized collages, amazing canvas prints and beautiful coffee table books.

While our website contains numerous galleries, it is only a small sample of our photography. Please contact us if you are interested in our photography.

Caught On Film Photography is owned and operated by the Richter family - Pamela, Shawn and Gavin.

We proudly support our local military families by offering a 20% Military discount on photographic prints.

In addition to San Diego photography, we frequently travel to Arizona and are available for photo shoots in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, Sedona and other parts of Arizona.
