Our History

About The Helder’s
Welcome to The Helder’s Photography. We offer a custom, boutique photography experience. It is our mission to give you the one-on-one attention and treatment you deserve!
At The Helder’s we strive to offer our clients a professional, fully personalized service by providing you with everything you need and preparing you every step of the way from location, portrait style and what to wear, to framing and hanging your portrait. Our clients choose us for our experience, photographic expertise, and the excellent quality that we offer, and that’s what we give them. You should feel confidents knowing that we have the experience, knowledge and professionalism to make your portrait session the best you’ve ever had.
It is our goal to only give you the best photography and print services. That’s why we offer our guidance throughout the process, from inquiry to delivering beautiful art. As a full service photographer we will have you covered. Taking care of you and presenting a quality investment are things we take great pride in, and I’m confident you’ll love the outcome! We want the images you choose to display in your home to be beautiful enough to withstand the lengths of time.
We photograph beautiful portraiture for high school seniors, families, children, weddings, pets, business portraits and more.
Our style of photography is like no other! If you’re looking for quality, fine art…portrait art that will last a lifetime, we are the place for you. Our signature style gives a really unique look to our images.
After three generations The Helder’s is still family owned and our style remains uncontrived and timeless. We insist on taking the time to create soft, warm dimensional lighting. Maybe that’s why people often confuse our portraits with paintings. And we know 2 things; Family is important and Traditions are important. We want to provide you the opportunity to express your family heritage, love and fun traditions through the art of photography.
We’ve taken pictures of Hall of Fame Cowboys, State Assemblymen, Governors, Mayors and other dignitaries. But the ones that are the dearest to us, and the ones that adorn the walls of our studio are pictures of families just like yours.
And we are proud to say that our art-the pictures we’ve taken-adorn the walls of some very important people…parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and children.
Thank you for selecting The Helder’s to create portraits for you. Please be assured of our dedication and absolute commitment to excellence. We provide a photography experience that focuses on your true beauty, inside and out.
Our goal is to create a unique portrait that you will display proudly in your home to share and enjoy with family and friends for many years.

 

 

 

It’s been an exciting road to get where we are today, and we are delighted each and every day when we walk through the doors of our studio. Our studio began in Seattle in 1938 by my grandparents and moved to Marysville in 1947. Later on, my father took over the studio and we have since been in our present building which is a beautiful historic home built in 1918. It has charm and character that is impossible to duplicate in buildings of today.

We have many unique and beautiful areas at and around the studio in which to photograph and we also enjoy creating photographs on locations. Whether it is our client’s home or another location that has special meaning to them, we like to create portraits that are as extraordinary as the individuals in them.

We just celebrated our 70th year in Marysville, CA. However we’ve decided to remain 39, which is old enough to stop chasing trends, but young enough to keep things fresh.

After 3 generations, our style remains uncontrived and timeless. We insist on taking the extra time to create soft, warm, dimensional lighting. Maybe that’s why people often confuse our portraits with paintings.  Thousands of families have trusted us to make portraits that will not go out of style, portraits that will still look beautiful after let’s say… 39 years. 

Please enjoy this website, and let us know how we can help your family.
