Welcome to Pictarus, a premiere Southern California special and sporting event photography company. Pictarus was started in 2012 by Jeff Henderson in his desire to have a way to share his photo and video skills and love for shooting with the local community. Pictarus represents the customer facing site that facilitates easy purchasing or downloading of great photos of your son, daughter, family member, friend or teammate. To assist the local photographer, Picatarus is also renting out their equipment for your special occasion. Check out our new
