Our Story
Carriage House Studios was founded by Ricardo Banda, a professional photographer, educator, and artist with over 25 years of experience in fine art and commercial photography.
What began as a small creative endeavor evolved into a collaborative studio — uniting artists who share a vision of elevating photography and design into something lasting, something lived.

Inspired by the heritage and craftsmanship of a carriage house — where artistry met purpose — our studio embodies tradition, community, and creative excellence.
Every portrait, print, and design piece we create carries the care of human hands and the timelessness of fine art.

Our Philosophy: Art That Endures
At Carriage House Studios, we believe in creating art that stands the test of time.
In a digital world of fleeting images, our focus remains on intentional storytelling and heirloom craftsmanship — from handcrafted albums to fine-art wall portraits.

Each image is more than a photograph — it’s a tangible expression of identity, love, and legacy.
Every design project is more than a layout — it’s an invitation to experience beauty that feels lived-in and lasting.
