Capturing Local Stories: A Farmers Market Photography Session at Tyler Galleria in Riverside, CA
Small Business Branding Photography at the Tyler Galleria Farmers Market in Riverside, CA
Small businesses are the heart and soul of our local economy, driving innovation, creativity, and real community connection. As Southern California photographers who specialize in branding photography for small businesses, we love any chance to spotlight local entrepreneurs doing what they love. This past Sunday, we spent the morning at the Tyler Galleria Farmers Market in Riverside County, meeting incredible vendors and capturing behind-the-scenes photos of their booths, products, and interactions with customers.
The market was alive with color, personality, and passion—from handmade crafts and artisan goods to small-batch foods and farm-fresh produce. Every setup reflected the dedication and hard work of the business owners behind it. Through our branding and lifestyle photography for local vendors, we aimed to showcase more than just what they sell—we wanted to tell their stories.
Whether you're a vendor looking for updated content for your website or a customer wanting to support local, the Tyler Galleria Farmers Market is a must-visit. Supporting small businesses like these not only strengthens our community—it helps preserve the passion, grit, and authenticity that make Riverside and surrounding Southern California neighborhoods so special.
Small businesses are the soul of our communities—and capturing their stories is at the heart of what we do. As Southern California photographers specializing in branding, lifestyle, and last-minute event coverage, we recently had the pleasure of photographing inspiring entrepreneurs at the Tyler Galleria Farmers Market in Riverside County.
Held every Sunday, the Tyler Galleria Farmers Market is a vibrant hub filled with local vendors offering everything from handcrafted goods to fresh, locally sourced produce. For business owners, it’s more than a place to sell—it’s a platform to connect with the community, build brand awareness, and share what makes their work special.
As photographers who frequently work with small business owners, pop-up vendors, and last-minute brand clients across Riverside, Temecula, and Orange County, we know how important it is to capture not just what you sell—but who you are. That’s what this shoot was all about: real people, real passion, and powerful storytelling.
From small-batch jerky makers to 3D designers and generational craftsmen, each vendor brought something uniquely theirs to the market. Here are a few we met and photographed:

Ron’s booth was more than a sharpening service—it was a tribute to his late father. He learned the craft at a young age, and now, each tool he sharpens is a tribute to his family legacy.

Behind the Scenes: What This Farmers Market Shoot Taught Us
One of the highlights of the day was photographing vendors in action—chatting with customers, adjusting their booths, or proudly showcasing their work. These candid branding photos help small business owners create meaningful content for social media, websites, and promotional materials. As always, we arrived ready to shoot in natural light, move quickly, and adapt on the fly—something we’ve become known for in our last-minute business photography sessions.
Pro Tip: Build Trust Through Visual Storytelling
If you're a vendor, don’t just showcase your products—show your process, your face, and your why. Customers connect with authenticity. That’s why we focus on capturing moments that reveal who you are, not just what you sell.
