About Me

Hi, I’m Adam—a photographer, filmmaker, husband, and father based in Orange County, California.

Adam Thede, Orange County portrait and boudoir photographer

As an Orange County portrait and boudoir photographer, I bring a creative, story-driven perspective to every session. My background in film taught me how to shape light, capture emotion, and tell stories that feel honest and alive—skills I now bring to every shoot, whether it’s boudoir, portraits, lifestyle, or events.

I approach each session with care and flexibility. I come prepared, but I stay present—ready to follow the best moments as they unfold. Whether we’re in a studio, outdoors, or in your home, my goal is to create a comfortable space where you feel confident and seen.

Clients often tell me they felt relaxed, supported, and genuinely themselves. That’s what I aim for: a session that’s both enjoyable in the moment and unforgettable in the final images.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m with my wife and two kids, soaking in the creativity and light of Southern California—from Los Angeles to right here in Orange County.

If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you.
