Studio 101 West Photography
Dennis Swanson, Photographer
As a portrait photographer, it's my personal goal to create photographs that show the world who you are…that certain smile or look that your friends and family recognize as the real you. After 25 years of creating thousands upon thousands of family, business, and high school senior portraits, I’ve developed a combination of technical abilities and a relaxed, intuitive style which help my photo-sessions be fun and exciting.
I love meeting new people and getting to know them. During every photo shoot I try to make some kind of connection with my subjects. Fortunately, I’ve been doing this for so long that getting people to relax and be themselves in front of the camera comes natural to me.
My business is about working with real people and making them look and feel their best.

Dennis, We received Misha's pictures last week and words cannot describe how pleased I am! From the moment I viewed the proofs, I was amazed at the variety of backdrops captured in just one evening of a photo shoot! You were able to capture Misha as her true self - comfortable and natural. This is a true feat as my daughter is not always comfortable behind the lens. Your patience and understanding through out the photo shoot was exceptional. Everyone who has seen the pictures are so impressed - so it's not just my parental biased opinion after all!Sande Zamarripa, Fresno, CA
Dennis, Thank you Studio 101 for the beautiful senior portraits of my daughter. They are stunning and unique. Everyone who sees them can't stop saying how beautiful she looks in them and that you really captured her personality. Also, thank you for the photo shoot at the Mission. It was a great idea for Kailey and her best friend to do their photo shoots together so that they could have a ton of fun. You really brought out the best in them and we are grateful to you for such a gift. Peggy Gray, Newhall, CA
