We’re The Genidos—Your Husband-and-Wife Photo Duo
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PHOTOGRAPHERS

ABOVE ALL, WE WANT TO INSPIRE AND CONNECT WITH OUR CLIENTS (AND OUR KIDDOS) THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY, BECAUSE THEY’RE EACH A RIPPLE IN OUR STORY.
When we’re not behind the camera, you’ll likely find us in nature with our two toddlers, Judah and Ezra. From the park to the beach to the mountains, our boys motivate us every day to strive to be better humans and better parents. And on every adventure, you can bet we’ll have our tripod taking endless photos we can cherish forever.
Adventure and curiosity have been two of our collective values since day one. Growing up in Orange County, I’ve explored some of the most beautiful locations California has to offer. Meanwhile, Allen, born in Japan and raised around the world, formed a deep love for travel early on.
Fast-forward to meeting in college at Biola University, where we graduated in 2014, and got married the following summer in 2015. With my love of artistic storytelling and Allen’s talent for technical creativity, we officially launched our photography business in 2017. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of documenting over 300 couples, families, and brands all over Southern California and beyond.
