Hi, I’m John Poulos — a Los Angeles-based lifestyle photographer, father, husband, first-generation American, and a happy dork with a camera. I was four when my grandfather placed a Nikon in my hands, and I’ve been chasing light and honest moments ever since.

After relocating from Chicago to Los Angeles in 2014, I set out to turn a lifelong passion into a full-time creative business. Today, I specialize in natural light lifestyle photography that celebrates real connections — whether it’s family portraits, candid event coverage, or personal branding sessions that actually feel like you.

Based in L.A. and serving clients across Southern California, I’m here to help you freeze the fleeting moments that matter most. Let’s make some honest, beautifully unscripted images together.
