Specialties

All portraiture should be artistic and pleasing to the eye. We specialize in semi-​posed artistic portraiture. Whether it be a bride strutting her stuff during her wedding, a senior jumping with joy for graduation, or a family quietly enjoying the setting sun together – as long as you have the ability to smile back, we capture it!

History

Established in 2003.

719 Foto is a rebrand from Royale Portraits. Since moving to Colorado in September 2011, we rebranded to our current name. Now a full-​time endeavor, 719 Foto started out as a hobby business in San Diego, CA. We moved to Washington State in 2008, but the wetness didn’t sit well with us. Now we are in the wonderful State of Colorado that combines the sunshine of California with the mountains and outdoorsy elements of Washington – because let’s face it, we have to have a life as well!

Meet the Business Owner

Jay-​R R.

Business Owner

Photography became an interest after seeing one of my mentor’s wedding pictures. At the last minute, because his assistant became ill the day before, he took me on as a second-​photographer for a wedding. After seeing my own images on the computer, I was hooked! Interest became passion.

When I was growing up, I always wanted to be an artist of sorts. I tried painting… that was a dismal failure. Cartooning just wasn’t for me. But when you put a camera in my hands, I can bring out the best of anyone. What I love best about my work are the smiles and tears from my clients and friends when they see it.
