From the time the camera was invented, people have been taking photos of loved ones—photographs that soon prove to be an invaluable asset in a family’s personal history. Over the centuries, professional photographers have sought to perfect the art of portraiture through extensive knowledge and experience in proper posing, lighting, exposure, processing, retouching, print finishing, all the while gaining a favorable interaction with their subjects.  Simply put, photographic portraiture is a fine art.  Your investment in this fine art is worthy of the finest craftsmanship. Family is important to us, and we know yours is important to you. This is the spirit behind every CIC portrait. 

Since 1984, owners Dean & Monique Gurr have been creating beautiful portraits in and around their home town of Oroville and the Greater North Valley Area of California. Whether in our studio in Historic Downtown Oroville, at one of our many outdoor locations, or in your home, we guarantee you’ll be thrilled with the portraits we create for you.  Take a little time to browse the type of photography you are interested in.  If you have any questions at all, we invite you to give us a call.  We’d love to hear from you.
