Robert Bonsall
Founder & Photographer, Magic Hour Portraits
From the moment he held his first Voigtländer camera at age 14, Robert Bonsall knew photography would shape his life. That passion led him to his first job at Ritz Camera, where he sharpened both his technical skill and artistic eye. Over the years, Robert has worn many hats—photographer, teacher, father of ten, and small business owner—but his love for capturing life's most meaningful moments has never wavered. Robert went on to run a successful one-hour photo lab with a portrait studio, where he perfected his craft and developed what he calls a Timeless Artistic Style. His images are known for their elegant, romantic quality—portraits that evoke genuine emotion and reveal the quiet beauty in everyday moments. With a deep understanding of light, texture, and composition, Robert doesn't just take pictures—he creates heirlooms. Whether photographing a wedding, a family, or an individual portrait, his goal is always the same: to preserve the essence of his subjects with honesty and artistry. Today, through Magic Hour Portraits, Robert brings decades of experience and a lifetime of passion to every session. His work is defined by warmth, authenticity, and a quiet grace that speaks to the heart. These are portraits you'll cherish forever.
