Services
I choose to do a limited number of wedding commissions each year so I can travel and enjoy time with my three amazing kids. This also allows me to give my clients more attention and to deliver their photos quickly. I have a large portrait studio located in West Fresno behind the Costco on Shaw. I would love to meet with you to customize the perfect collection for your photographic needs.
Every Couple has different wants and desires for their wedding, so it's important we talk to make sure your Collection provides what you need. This is why we love to meet with our brides for a FREE consultation at our Fresno Studio.

It's also a great time to show you in person the gorgeous products we offer, including our Signature Albums as well as the other 12/12 albums that come with all of our Collections, wall canvases, guest sign in books, boudoir books and more.All full Collections include a gorgeous custom album and USB of all photos taken!
I served in the US Army Special Forces as a medical sergeant, deploying twice to Afghanistan. I wanted to do my part for my country. My family places a high value on service, broadly speaking. We have long tradition of military service, but we also have family members who contributed in other ways like the Peace Corps or through helping the school districts in the underserved areas of town.
Why did you join the military? I joined the military because 9/11 disgusted me and I wanted to fight the best I could to prevent tragedy. 2. What are your most proud achievements while serving? Actually getting to save a little girl that was about to get hit by a Datsun truck in Iraq. 3. What if your favorite memory from your combat tour?
Shrapnel is defined as: A fragment left from a bomb or explosion, that often remains in the soldier for life. Every combat Veteran leaves the battlefield with a life changed forever. These fragments of war leave behind physical and/or emotional scars that may never heal. These American warriors have sacrificed so much for God and Country, and their stories need to be told.

WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHER! I hired him for a photo shoot. I wanted to surprise my boyfriend with the photos for Christmas, and Brett made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He was extremely professional and respectful, and was a lot of fun to work with. I would love the opportunity to do another shoot with him again... but this time a normal couples photo shoot with my boyfriend.

Brett shot my wife and I’s engagement photo session and wedding day and we could not be happier with the quality, professionalism, and communication he exhibited.
I highly recommend him to all family and friends. Thank you Brett and Ambient Art Photography!

We needed professional headshots for two of us. Brett was so professional, quick to respond, detailed in his explanations, and efficient in our shoot. We were done quickly and he got our finished headshots back in two days (and that was due to our inability to pick one quickly). He has an easy going personality which made for a very pleasant experience. We will be using him for further business. I would highly recommend him!

Brett's technic is truly high quality. He has invested in his business to continue his education to be the best photographer in the Central Valley. His gallery should tell you all you need to know. We have worked together on many occasions and he has always delivered high quality pictures to his clients. My brides have been very happy with his work.

I decided to do something quite out of the ordinary for my husband this anniversary. While my husband finds my fuller figure delightful, I am a little less excited by it. But I decided to bite the bullet and have some boudoir photos taken for the man. I did my usual research, scouring the web looking for what I thought were the best. I contacted Alicia from Ambient Art Photography as well as a couple of other photographers in the area who specialize in Photography. Upon speaking with Alicia on the phone, I knew instantly that I had found my girl. Everything about her and her business is worthy

We found Ambient Art Photography on Yelp when we were looking for a lifestyle photographer in the Central CA area. We are SO glad we did! Brett worked with us for weeks leading up to the shoot and nailed down details so we didn't have to stress out. He was prompt, responded in a timely fashion and incredibly flexible with our changing schedule. We HIGHLY recommend them for any event you are having. His lighting equipment somehow made a rainy day look like heaven. We are so grateful for everything Brett did for us to give us the look we were going for!

We had Brett do a professional shoot for our business, Clovis Floral & Cafe. All I can say is "Wow!". Very professional with great ideas. From someone in a corresponding industry that's saying a lot. Keep up the great work!

Brett and Alicia did our wedding in 10/2016 at Harris Ranch, CA. We met them at the wedding expo in Fresno. They provide beautiful photos that capture the moments of the wedding. We were able to get both Alicia and Brett at our wedding so it was awesome to have two different perspectives and not to mention having photos of both wedding parties separately simultaneously.
One thing the wife appreciated was that their photos have an artistic quality that makes the whole image appealing to look at. We really enjoyed that we were able to keep all of our photos from the wedding, and there were a lot

I have used this company twice. Once for a family photo and another for a special science photo shoot. Alicia and Brett are both very professional. They also are wonderful with kids. That's always a plus when your trying to get photos of little ones.
Alicia also had a salon and does hair and makeup and seeing her work through photos is pretty cool too.
Give them a call or shoot them an email. You won't be disappointed

We used Brett and Alicia for our wedding and engagement shots. They are definitely a dynamic duo! Very professional and easy to work with. But most importantly; they both take priceless photos! Their sparkler send off and sunset photos are a absolute must! We will definitely book them again in the future!
Thank you once again to the Nelson Family! You guys rock!

My daughter and I were very disappointed with our experience here. Our pictures turned out terribly. I could barely recognize my daughter. They made her look 40 years older than she is. Brett said he had a lot of experience doing head shots (for actors) but the photographs say otherwise. The morning of her session, Brett asked her to bring props to her head shot session. Anyone who has done actor head shots would know that you don't use props? It's been 3 months and we are already trying to get new ones. She is embarrassed to hand Brett's head shots out to anyone. Brett was very

Alicia and Brett are fantastic. Alicia did our family photos about two years ago. She is a mother of three young children and has the skill and patience to work with kids. I have known Alicia for years , and I'm so impressed with her work and watching her grow in this business. Brett and Alicia work hard and stay up to date on what's happening in the world of photography . A very professional couple. You won't be disappointed .

Brett and Alicia are a fantastic team. They made me feel so special on my wedding day and took the best pictures. I loved them so much, I went back to do my maternity photos. Alicia did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup. These two are a very talented pair, and were the best decision I made when it came to my wedding photographer.

Brett's work speaks for itself. He did a commercial photo shoot with head shots for our small business. He got the best out of our employees, getting candid & natural smiles. He was really good at putting everyone at ease. He digitally delivered the photo files within days both for print and online file sizes. We are very happy with the project!

Both Brett and his wife Alicia are amazing photographers! We picked them to photograph our daughter's June 22, 2014th wedding, and I'm so happy we did! This wasn't just a one day shoot. They were involved in engagement photos, a special photo album for the groom, and more. On the day of the wedding, they were both there early. Alicia stayed with my daughter while she was getting dressed. She took many photos of family & friends who were there as well. She even helped with my daughter's make up! Both Brett and Alicia were so accomplished, they helped put everyone at ease
