“Justin did an incredible job with my daughter’s senior pictures! He walks you through the entire process, is so easy going, kind, and professional. He made my daughter feel so comfortable, and confident in front of the camera. He showed her exactly what to do, and how to pose. We could not have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Justin!!”
Lily's Mom (Class of 2025)
“Justin did an amazing job with my daughter's senior portraits! He was very professional, while at the same time, easy going and helpful. Lily felt comfortable right from the beginning of the session and Justin really captured her personality throughout. It also helped as a parent that he texted addresses of our next location and made it very easy and organized during the entire session. We are very grateful to Justin for making this experience so seamless and, of course, for all the beautiful portraits!”
Sean's Mom (Class of 2025)
“Justin Black did it again! He took pictures of my older son that graduated in 2023, and recently took the senior pictures for my younger son graduating in 2025. They turned out incredible! Justin is so easy to work with, communicates quickly and efficiently, puts the kiddos at ease while taking pictures and he edits and returns the pictures to you in a timely manner. I am so happy with the way the pictures turned out and highly recommend him to anyone needing a photographer!”
Malaya's Mom (Class of 2025)
“Justin was incredible! From start to finish, so professional, kind and great at what he does. He had a virtual consultation to get to understand what my daughter’s needs were. Asked to see outfits in advance to guide what looks would work best at which locations. Most importantly, he put my daughter at ease and made the process easy for all of us. He made the appointment feel special and delivered far and above what I expected. I highly recommend Justin Black photography! 10 out of 10! Thanks Justin!”

He brings such professionalism and warmth to his craft- making it easy to spend hours with him. Thank you Justin for documenting this important milestone so beautifully.”
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.”

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)

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.”

We will truly treasure these pictures for a lifetime!”

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!

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!

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)

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!

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!"
