COMBAT BASE: THE END OF AN ERA
For 21 years, the iconic Combat Base garage was more than a place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It was a culture, a community, and a home. This documentary film follows Chris and Melissa Haueter as they close the doors to the legendary Combat Base garage—capturing the people, memories, and culture built inside its walls. The end of an era. The work continues.


Documenting a Milestone: Balfour Beatty × Fontana Unified School District
Corporate Event Photography | Fontana, California Some events are more than a gathering. They mark the moment when years of work finally come to life. Teran Productions provided corporate event photography in Fontana, California, for the ribbon-cutting and unveiling of a new music and arts facility built by Balfour Beatty for Fontana Unified School District. The celebration brought together students, educators, project teams and members of the community to recognize the openi


A Pasadena Elopement
Built Around Their Vision Every wedding is different. The photography should be too. For this elopement, we created coverage around what mattered to them while staying within their budget. Their experience afterward probably says it better than I could: “It was a delight to work with Sam as our elopement photographer. He was very easy to work with in planning our photography needs. He was able to structure a package for us that met both our budget and vision for capturing our


What Happened When an MMA Fighter Showed Up to Support Special Needs Kids
Recently, we had the opportunity to document an event featuring MMA fighter Gianni Vazquez, who appeared as a special guest at a fundraising event benefiting Unlimited Possibilities Martial Arts. What stood out wasn't just the competition. It was the purpose behind it. The event was organized to raise money for a martial arts program that supports children with special needs. What started as a simple conversation over lunch eventually grew into a full-scale community event, b


POV: Your Photographer is dying in Joshua Tree
Went out to the desert to photograph this beautiful family and capture something special. Sometimes you have to walk through the heat, dust, and no water just to get the best photos. Climbed some rocks, walked through desert gravel, and I think we almost got lost. What an adventure that was. If we aren’t making life an adventure, then what are we doing?


More Than a Photoshoot — Building a Brand as a Family
This session was different in the best way. It was a mother and her daughters, coming together not just for photos—but to build something around their voices. A podcast. A shared space. A brand that represents all of them. So this wasn’t just about getting clean portraits. It was about capturing who they are together. We had about 2 hours in the studio, which gave us time to move through different looks without rushing. We started simple. Neutral backdrop. Controlled lighting


What Event Photography Really Looks Like
When people hear “event photography,” they often picture posed group photos, clean smiles, and carefully staged moments. But real events don’t move that way. They’re loud. Emotional. Unpredictable. They unfold in layers—sometimes all at once. And that’s where our work really lives. This gallery comes from a celebration filled with family, movement, laughter, speeches, dancing, and small in-between moments that never make it onto a schedule. From the first formal portraits to


Same Day, Different Worlds
There are days that don’t feel dramatic while you’re living them, but later you realize how much they say about who you are. This was one of those days. It started like most workdays do. Shoes on, keys in hand, traffic ahead. The city moving fast before I even had time to catch my breath. Client work on the schedule. Cameras to set up. Lights to adjust. Conversations to have. Deadlines that don’t care how you’re feeling. This is the side of creative work people don’t always s
