Avoid the Mistakes so many SFA students make with their Grad Photos

The number one mistake so many grads make is waisting time and money on a photographer who can't deliver any product other than digitals. Or choosing a photographer that cannot create beautiful images both indoors (using controlled studio lighting) and out (bringing studio lighting outdoors).

Another mistake to avoid is being embarrassed by how you look in your photos because they are not retouched, selecting the wrong clothing, or not having your pictures taken at all.

The photoshoot went very well. It was very quick and easy. I liked where we took the photos. The spots around the studio were very good and we’re very relaxed there are a lot of spots around that could be very useful to anybody and could fit anyone’s personality. I would consider the photo shoot “easy breezy beautiful cover girl.” that’s my way of saying it was easy and the photos turned out great.

Such a wonderful experience and such a high quality product to show for it. My son and I had his senior pictures taken and they were so sweet and accommodating. They even let us throw in a few shots of our family. The end product is just stunning! Couldn't be happier with this whole interaction. From the photo shoot, to the big show and deciding, to the gorgeous photos. Beginning to end this was wonderful and I am so thankful to have found House of Photography. Highly recommend and we will return in the future!

The Victorian Studio

House of Photography street view

The Victorian Albert A Nelson Home

House of Photography since 2004

Our studio is located in the historic Victorian home built for Albert A. Nelson in 1898. The home has seen many changes and owners over the past 100 plus years. It was designed by Diedrich Rulfs, who designed more than 50 homes, churches and buildings in Nacogdoches from the 1880s until the 1920s. Many are listed as Texas Historical Landmarks or National Register Landmarks.

The mere fact that we operate out of this gorgeous home gives our studio an edge others cannot compete with. It's not just the unique look we can achieve from our in-studio portraits either. Our studio is an inviting place where clients and prospective clients alike may leisurely engage in one of our no-obligation consultations. While we get to know you better, your children are free to enjoy the playhouse and play area. This process helps the entire family feel comfortable when the time comes to take portraits.
