Welcome to Allan Photography of Modesto CA. We specialize in creative, yet affordable professional photography for Modesto, Ceres, Turlock, Riverbank, Oakdale, Ripon, and Manteca, as well as Merced County, the Central Valley and most of Northern California.


We've been partners for over 35 years, in life and in photography. Shortly after the birth of our first son, we began taking pictures and showing them off. Before long we had requests from friends and neighbors for portraits of their children, and then weddings. In less than a year we were at it full time and opened our first Studio, "Studio One" in Atwater.


"Studio One" grew to be one of the busiest Studios in Merced County. But, as our children grew it became more difficult to be away every weekend photographing weddings and by 1985 I had finished my BA degree in Business at California State University, Stanislaus, so we sold the studio and for the next 20 years I worked as a Real Estate Broker, and then as General Sales Manager for a large Toyota Dealer.

By 2005 my kids had all grown and married and I was finally able to make the transition back to photography as my full time pursuit. Combining Real Estate and photography has been one of the best things I've ever done. I'm looking forward to helping you achieve your marketing and branding goals.
