Frequently Asked Questions
BEAUTIFUL PORTRAITS, CONVENIENT PROCESS
Where are you located?
My family and I have lived in the Katy, TX area since 2011. Our primary studio is located at Winter Street Studios in Sawyer Yards. The other at our home in beautiful Simonton, TX. We also offer complete location flexibility and will travel for your photography session.
When can I see my photos?
We typically schedule your in-home ordering appointment just a few days after your session. We find this works better for families and seniors. However, with proper planning/scheduling, we can review images immediately after an in-studio session.
I’m very self-conscious about my skin, will you edit the photos?
Absolutely! Your portraits should highlight your favorite qualities about yourself. We apply standard retouching to all purchased images. We want you to look like the very best version of you!
My family can be a bit rowdy, will you be able to accommodate for my children?
As a father of young children, I am used to a little bit of chaos all the time. Our process is designed to make everyone in your family happy and comfortable, even dad. We never want anyone to feel rushed during your session, and we want you to walk away feeling cared for and known.
Can you accommodate location changes within a session?
We can! Our extended package allows us to shoot in up to 4 locations. This is perfect for personal branding, seniors, or simply having that “Model for a Day” experience.
How much do you charge for a session?
Our session fee varies depending on your needs. On your discovery call, we can understand which session type is going to serve you best. Our clients typically invest between $500 to $10,000 or more, depending on taste and budget. A luxury investment demands a luxury experience, and with Colt Melrose Photography, that’s exactly what you get.
How can I get more information about working with you?
A phone call allows us to understand your needs best, so we can provide you with just the right experience. So let’s talk! You can schedule a phone consultation at no cost here.

“My family and I have used Colt for years, and he’s helped memorialize some of our most precious moments.”
His photography fills our house, from large canvas prints to photos frames in almost every room. He’s taken photos for our pregnancy announcements, family photos, Christmas cards, our girl’s 1st birthday/cake smash (great with toddlers/kids) and even my headshots.
— Josh B.
“Colt took the time to get to know my son personally, and then created fun and extremely creative photos of him.”
I was looking for something unique that reflected my son's personality and interests that wasn’t just the typical cap and gown situation, and a friend of mine referred me to Colt. The proofs were all amazing and I chose several more than I thought I would.
I liked them so much I had Colt design and print graduation announcements. I fully intend to do the same for my younger son when the time comes. This was an awesome experience!
— Jocelyn C.
“I am going to sum it up in one word “phenomenal”.
Colt is at the top of his game, extremely professional, great quality work, and absolutely beautiful portraits!” — Wanda
