Love House of Photography! Greg and Cindy are very helpful and friendly. They answer any and all questions, and our "hour" ran over but they never rushed the session. Definitely glad we choose them for our daughter's senior pictures!!
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.
Greg and Cindy, we cannot thank you enough for the beautiful photographs of our girl. They are such gracious memories. Above all, our family thanks you for your grace and professionalism and making the experience easy and fun. As parents, we enjoyed watching Victoria have fun and be relaxed throughout the photo session, but you guys went above and beyond. THANK YOU!!!!! Virginia and Darrin
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!

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.
House of Photography boasts the only portrait garden in all of Deep East Texas. With greenery and colorful blooms year round, our garden includes a beautiful country gazebo, quaint pond complete with waterfall, rock flower beds, arbors, pergola, rock and stone paths.
We often hear clients say that they are utterly amazed at the variety of looks we can achieve from within our garden. And this East Texas secret treasure sits right in the backyard of our charming Victorian Style Studio.
