Get To Know Colt

For almost a decade, Colt has enjoyed capturing images that celebrate and preserve his clients.

From family portraits, one or multiple generational portraits; celebrating milestones like high school senior photoshoots or college senior shoots, milestone anniversary portrait sessions, new beginnings and lasting relationship photoshoots; or keeping your personality at the forefront with professional branding headshots and custom corporate headshots, Colt strives to capture the uniqueness of every season and client he photographs. 

Colt lives by the mantra of his fellow Oklahoman, Will Rogers, in that he’s never met a person he didn’t like.

As a photographer, Colt is approachable and relatable. His top priority is your satisfaction, and he offers nothing less. He’s a father of three beautiful girls and a handsome son who are often called on for a model portrait practice session, and he’s been married to his incredible wife Lindy since 2008.

They have lived in and around the Houston, TX area since 2011.
