ABOUT Frame&Folio
Hi, we're Mozhdeh & Payman — partners in life and in storytelling.
Our journey began on the audio app Clubhouse four years ago, where a simple voice chat turned into something life-changing. That spark led Mozhdeh to move from the Netherlands to California, where we now live, love, and do what we cherish most: capturing emotion, beauty, and connection in life’s most meaningful moments.
Payman has been behind the lens since his teens. With a background in filmmaking and cinematography, he has a remarkable eye for finding stories in everyday moments. His talent lies in capturing the unspoken — the emotion in the quiet in-betweens, a glance, a quiet laugh, the breath before a vow — and translating them into unforgettable visuals.
Mozhdeh’s lifelong love of art — from painting to fashion and design — brings a unique visual soul to her work. Though she holds a PhD in Telecommunications, photography became her creative home and the perfect bridge between her technical precision and artistic heart. After meeting Payman, she fully embraced it, studying the craft professionally and pouring her passion into every frame.
We’re inspired by people, light, and emotion. Whether it’s a wedding, an intimate family moment, or a creative brand story, we take time to connect, feel the rhythm of your story, and approach each session with warmth, care, and deep respect for the beauty of human connection.
When we’re not behind the camera, you'll find us dancing, enjoying good music and films, traveling the world, or playing with our little dog, Chia — who, let’s be honest, is the real boss of the house.
We’d be honored to capture a piece of your story and turn it into something truly meaningful.
Based in San Jose, CA, we proudly serve the Bay Area and beyond.
We’d love to connect!
