About Ken Wolf & Wolf Photography

Welcome to Wolf Photography! I’m Ken Wolf, the owner and lead photographer behind this studio. Since opening my business in 1990, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless moments, telling stories, and creating lasting memories for my clients. My approach to photography is deeply inspired by the photojournalistic styles of National Geographic and Life Magazine—using the camera as a tool to explore the world and document the human experience.

A Lifelong Passion for Photography

My journey with photography began when I was just six years old, and by the age of 11, I was developing black-and-white photos in a summer camp darkroom. This early fascination grew into a lifelong passion and career. I began my professional journey in 1987, apprenticing with several talented photographers in Los Angeles. These experiences not only honed my technical skills but also taught me the business acumen needed to establish my own studio.

From Weddings to Unposed Moments

In the early years of my career, I focused on wedding and event photography. Based in Los Angeles, I had the unique opportunity to photograph the weddings of celebrities, including Rod Stewart (to Rachel Hunter), LeVar Burton, and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds. While these experiences were exciting, a turning point came when I photographed children at a summer camp. Instead of posing them, I let them be themselves—spontaneous, unfiltered, and full of life. The results were magical, and their parents were thrilled. This experience inspired me to develop alternative children’s photography programs, capturing natural, unposed moments in settings like preschools, martial arts, dance, sports, and more.

Embracing Innovation

The advent of digital photography in 2000 opened up new creative possibilities. I began creating composite, multi-image collages for my clients and expanded my services to include in-house printing, large-format printing, custom hand-made picture frames, image scanning, gallery hosting for family albums, and photo retouching and restoration. Today, Wolf Photography is a full-service studio equipped with a 1,000-square-foot studio and an off-site picture frame shop.
