KIND WORDS

Haley & Jacey's Mom

“Thank goodness I came across Justin Black in 2015 for high school senior pics. Our family was so pleased with not only his results but his demeanor and business model that we used him for both our daughter's high school and college senior pictures. Over the past 9 years we have seen his quality even more perfected. It has been such a blessing to work with Justin over the past few years and I truly think he is the best at what he does! Thank you Justin.”

Hannah's Mom (Class of 2024)

“Justin is the ultimate professional, all while being very down to earth. He has excellent communication and you will be well taken care of prior to, during, and after your session. We had the best experience with our senior portrait session with our daughter Hannah. Justin really knows how to bring out the best side of these kids and made the day a whole lot of fun! The only negative, is personal. Trying to decide which ones to pick!!”

Colin '22 & Ryan's '24 Mom

“Justin is a very talented photographer. We are so grateful to have found him and he has taken both of my son’s seniors pictures. He is very professional and communicated throughout the whole process and couldn’t be happier with our finished photographs”

Kayla's Mom (Class of 2024)

“Selecting a photographer for your senior portraits may seem intimidating, however, words can not express how enjoyable and stress free this process was. Justin was there for us every step of the way - from the initial FaceTime consultation, to text or phone communication while selecting outfits, to selecting shooting locations; he made us feel at ease and prepared to rock this photo session. If there were mountain tops in Texas, I would be shouting for every Senior to use Justin as their photographer!”

Lyndsey's Mom (Class of 2024)

“I cannot recommend Justin enough! He was friendly, professional, communicated well and was EXTREMELY positive to work with throughout the entire process. He offered guidance/advice as needed but really listened, and produced EXACTLY what my daughter and I were envisioning. We couldn't be happier!! Thank you, Justin!!”

Morgan's Mom (Class of 2024)

“Justin did an amazing job! He walks you through the entire process and makes this such a fun experience.”

Abbey (Class of 2024)

“You make the process so easy and really are so gifted. You make people feel so confident which is a hard thing many people can’t do. I love my photos!”

Emma (Class of 2023)

“Justin was the most amazing photographer!!! He was a great communicator leading up to taking the senior photos on location, hair, makeup and any questions I had! He was so welcoming and was too easy to take photos with! He picks amazing locations, fixed my little fly-away hairs and makeup, and always knew what poses to do! I could not ask for a better photographer, everyone needs to go see Justin Black!!”

Alex's Mom (Class of 2023)

“As a parent, I am 100% plus pleased. We scheduled my daughters photos late in the year; weather was no help and we had to reschedule due to rain at least 3 or 4 times. Finally we got a good day and the photo shoot was amazing. He helped our daughter feel comfortable in front of the camera and really worked with her to get the best pose, light, background and shoot. I could not be happier with the final product.”

Alex's Mom cont....

"Delivery time on proofs and final shots was exceptional. The service was amazing even before the photo shoot. The selection of packages, locations to chose from, and consult on outfits exceeded expectations!.

Juliana (SMU Class of 2023)

“I loved working with Justin! The whole process was so easy and stress-free. His turnaround time is amazing and I loved doing my session with him. It was also nice to work with an SMU alum- Pony Up!”

Abbie's Mom (Class of 2023)

“Justin was easy to work with, from the initial contact to the finished product! He was very responsive to emails and texts. He listened to my daughter's ideas for pictures and recommended the perfect locations for her. He guided her perfectly on picture day, making her feel comfortable and posing her in ways that looked natural. The finished portraits are beautiful and capture her personality so well. We will truly treasure these pictures for a lifetime!”

What Abbie says....

"I was nervous before I went to take my pictures, but I had nothing to be nervous about. Justin told me exactly how to pose and took amazing photos!! I was shocked at my photos when I got them back.

Lauren (Class of 2023)

“Initially, I was really nervous because this is very out of my comfort zone. But, when I arrived and we started, Justin took care of me in a sense and made the process super easy and fun. After it all, I felt really good about the shoot and the day as a whole. Justin is the best!!”

Andrew's Mom (Class of 2023)

“Justin Black is an incredibly kind, patient, humble and insanely talented photographer. He runs a full service, white glove professional business. He pays attention to EVERY SINGLE detail from beginning to end. At our initial Zoom/Facetime meeting, he talked to my son and I about expectations, lighting, location, helped us choose the most flattering clothing based on skin tone location, time of year, etc. He provided hair and skin care recommendations prior to the shoot.”

Andrew's Mom COnt....

"... He was prompt, patient, expedient and prepared. He knew what poses would look the most natural and made adjustments to his hair or straightened his shirt if it was out of place. Truly the best experience I've ever had with a photographer. It was difficult narrowing down which pictures to buy because Justin is just that good. I wish I knew about him when my older children were high school seniors! You are the BEST in the BUSINESS!! Thank you!!!

Madeline's Mom (Class of 2023)

“From start to finish, Justin eased our stress of senior photos- from the initial meeting, to reviewing the outfits, to mapping out the sites, and finally, making the actual session as easy and comfortable as possible! Madeline’s photos are absolutely stunning as Justin did not leave out a single detail. We can’t thank you enough for everything! You are truly doing what you were meant to do! There are no words to describe these photos!”

Ellie's Mom (Class of 2023)

“Justin Black is amazing! He really seeks to understand his client(s) and make the shoot as comfortable and natural as possible. He takes the time to discuss outfit choices prior to the shoot to ensure you get the look that matches the selected locations. While some people love getting dressed up and posing for photos, others dread the thought of being so far outside their comfort zone. In either instance, Justin is the photographer of choice! We could not have asked for a better experience OR better photos!”

ELLIE's Mom COnt....

"... He truly brings out the natural beauty of the subject while never rushing and maintaining a relaxed atmosphere. He thinks of EVERYTHING from a pop-up tent to change in on location to snacks.

Jackson's Mom (Class of 2023)

“Justin is absolutely a master of his craft and he makes the senior picture process so easy and fun! My son was a reluctant participant in having his photos taken, but Justin has such a great way of making everyone feel relaxed and he brings out the best in his subjects! We are thrilled with our finished photos and Justin gave us so many wonderful options to choose from!”

Emily's Mom (Class of 2023)

“Justin is so incredibly talented! He has a way of making this process seamless from start to finish. He was quick to respond to the initial request for information, provided dates for us to select from, gave us suggestions for hair and makeup stylists (We loved working with Aimee Daily!), met with us on Facetime prior to our date to make sure we were all on the same page, watched the weather and rescheduled everything when the weather wasn't cooperating, (continued below.)”

Emily's Mom COnt....

"... and made sure we were all set on the day of the session! We changed our second location at the last minute and Justin was extremely accommodating. The session itself couldn't have been better. It was interesting seeing Justin work. He found just the right lighting and setting for each picture, then effortlessly guided my daughter to get the perfect shots. It was such a fun evening! The hardest part was selecting just 40 pictures because there were so many amazing choices! My advice is to book him ASAP for the best Senior Session! Thanks for everything Justin!".

Peytons Mom (Class of 2023)

“Justin works so well with people. He understands how to make his subjects comfortable, and directs them to achieve their very best looks all while making the session FUN. Peyton had the best time with him-especially in the fountain. Her portraits are beautiful and really captured her essence! Thank you Justin!”

Gentry's Mom (Class of 2023)

“Justin is amazing! I scheduled my daughter's senior photo session early because I had seen his work from a family friend. His lighting and personal touch with each photo is what made us choose Justin. He responded immediately and we picked a date. His communication leading up to the photo session was incredible. He included my daughter in every detail. Meeting for a styling session ahead of time is genius and Justin walked us through which outfit would work in each location... (continued below.)”

Gentry's Mom COnt....

"...The photo session was so much fun and Gentry was relaxed through the session and had a wonderful time. Justin had our prints to us within a few days and it was the best experience ever! My daughter loved the sneak peek on Instagram and loved every photo that Justin took of her. He is truly the best!".

Samantha's Mom (Class of 2022)

Never having been there before, he discovered all of our favorite things about the ranch and captured them in the most perfect way! He made Samantha feel comfortable, beautiful, and in her element! There are not enough words to describe Justin’s talent, calm demeanor, professionalism, and love for what he does!
-The Youngblood Family
PS- Book him now!”

Jourdin (Class of 2022)

“This was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! Mr.Black was always in contact with me, and communicated well about outfit suggestions, weather postponements, times, dates, and locations. He also guided me through every single pose at the session, which was so helpful as someone who struggles with posing and facial expressions. All of my pictures came out so beautiful, and I had so much fun working with Mr.Black!”

What Jourdin's Mom says:

"As the parent of a graduating high school senior, you want your child's senior pictures to reflect the moment and capture true personality. From start to finish, Justin was nothing short of excellent. He responds quickly to inquiries, is very detailed and organized with scheduling, and even plans in advance in case weather is not cooperating. Session pricing is beyond fair in comparison to other photographers in the area. Justin made my daughter's photo session fun and exciting so that she felt comfortable posing just like a professional model. When the proofs came, we were speechless. Every single photo was beautiful, making it difficult to choose which ones we didn't want to keep. My daughter still talks about her photo session as one of her best experiences as a high school senior. Thank you so much Justin!"

The session was an absolute blast l, and you really go out of your way for your clients to capture the most amazing photos!
