About Summer Melodies Photography

Hi, I’m Max—a passionate photographer based in Perris, CA. With over seven years of professional photography experience and 14 years of expertise in graphic design, I bring creativity, precision, and a love for storytelling to every project. My journey into photography began with my father, a talented photographer who inspired my passion for capturing authentic moments. His legacy shaped my path and continues to drive my commitment to excellence in every shot I take.

Meet Your Photographer

For me, photography is more than a profession—it’s a deeply personal art form that allows me to preserve life’s most precious moments. Every client has a unique story, and I believe it’s my job to capture that story with creativity and care. Whether it’s a family portrait, a special event, or a real estate showcase, my goal is to create visuals that evoke emotion and stand the test of time.

Beyond the camera, I share my knowledge as a photography and graphic design teacher, empowering others to explore their creativity and master the art of visual storytelling. Teaching allows me to connect with aspiring creatives and pass on the passion that has fueled my career.
