5 Best Photographers in Dallas Who Are Always in High Demand
A friend of mine recently hosted a big family reunion at a gorgeous park in Dallas, and it was a lovely event. But afterward, she admitted to one little regret—skipping out on hiring a professional photographer.
Instead, her uncle stepped in with his phone, and while the effort was appreciated, the results weren’t exactly frame-worthy. The lighting was off, some shots were blurry, and half the group was missing in most of the photos.
That’s why hiring a professional photographer is so important for capturing those special moments—whether it’s a wedding, a birthday, or just a family gathering.
To help you avoid those same photo fails, here are the top photographers in Dallas.

Daniel Motta Photography has been a key player (or should I say photographer?) in Dallas since 2012.
Specializing in commercial photography, his portfolio—which we love!— includes sleek building shots, action-filled business moments, and candid professional portraits.
In addition to commercial and advertising work, he also offers lifestyle, portrait, headshot, editorial, and event photography.
We admire his unique “constructionist” approach—balancing planned details with genuine emotion to create powerful, story-filled images.
Booking is simple—just contact him by phone, email, or through the website, and you’ll get a free consultation. From there, you’ll receive a contract and access to a client portal to manage your account and download photos.
With clients like J.P. Morgan, Toyota, and Chase Bank, Daniel has built a reputation as one of Dallas-Fort Worth’s top photographers.
But, unlike other studios that allow walk-ins, appointments here are required.
Daniel captured the real me and not the posed me
“Daniel was so great to work with! I am just not a very photogenic person unfortunately, but Daniel captured the real me and not the posed me. The headshot he did for me is the best I have ever had! I would highly recommend him to everyone who wants to look their best while also having their genuine self come through in the photo. Absolutely wonderful experience!”

Daniel was a joy to work with!
“Daniel was a joy to work with! He made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera and he got a lot of good shots that made it hard to choose the best one! His editing skills are top notch and I ended up looking much younger than I really am! I highly recommend Daniel for your photography needs!”

Kayleen was absolutely wonderful!
“Kayleen was absolutely wonderful! From our first conversation, she felt like a close friend who was along for the ride, directing us for our engagement shoot and capturing every moment of our wedding perfectly. She was so kind, understanding, and receptive to our ideas, working with us to provide perfect moments. She was such a wonderful, energetic person to spend a good chunk of our wedding day with and the photos turned out amazing! Not only that, she had our wedding highlights back to us within 48 hours and our entire album back within 8 weeks! (Which was well over 1000 pictures, each one edited perfectly!) We loved working with Kayleen, have personally recommended her to our friends, and will continue to recommend her! She’s the absolute best! Jack and Kelly :)”

Kelly Williams Photography brings over 20 years of professional experience. With a degree from the Ohio Institute of Photography, Kelly combines technical expertise with a fresh, innovative style.
She specializes in corporate photography, from lifestyle photography to event coverage. For instance, her lifestyle sessions focus on capturing natural, in-action photos that help bring out the personality and story behind the company.
Another area where she shines is in headshots and portrait sessions. She prefers a classic, polished look that’s perfect for individual professionals and corporate teams.
We’re impressed with her wide range of clients—from startups to Fortune 500 companies in sectors like finance, tech, healthcare, and government. Though based in Dallas, she extends her services to New Orleans and Oklahoma as well.
And while Kelly’s services are on the pricier side, we think her quality shots are worth it.
Kelly is the best photographer I have worked with
“Kelly is the best photographer I have worked with. She really takes her time with you to make sure the best shots are getting captured. She’s professional, personable, and puts you at ease if you’re not comfortable being in front of the camera. Her pictures are excellent and she offers quick turn around time. Definitely recommend her! Her makeup artist, Ray, is excellent too!”
— Amna Hasnain, Google Review
Kelly did an amazing job on our recent headshots
“Kelly did an amazing job on our recent headshots for an upcoming website update, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality of her work, professionalism, and her ability to pose use in the BEST angles. We are not professional models, and needed all the help we could get feeling comfortable in front of the camera and looking our best. I would recommend Kelly to anyone looking for expertise in photography for print and digital quality work!!”

Headshot Pros is owned by Marcus Kaiser, who has over 21 years of experience. He has a unique philosophy: a great headshot should reveal more than just your face; it should give people a glimpse of who you are.
Marcus specializes in headshots for business people, actors, entertainers, and models. Plus, his images are carefully tailored for LinkedIn, social media, websites, and marketing materials—he even sizes them for easy uploading across platforms.
A unique service that caught our eye is his dating headshots service—perfect for those who want to try online dating or revamp their dating profile.
He can work with clients in his downtown Dallas photo studio or meet them on location. Note, however, that his sessions are reportedly very short. While that can be a bonus if you’re pressed for time, it might feel a bit rushed for others.
It was perfect in every way
“Professional and courteous, and also very efficient process to take, retouch and deliver my headshot. To keep this short, I’ll just say it was perfect in every way and I could not be more pleased with price, process and results. Tip: be sure and ask for direction and also parking instructions. One last thing: I brought my blazer & blouse in on a hanger, and changed right there in their changing room, and that worked out really well, plus it kept my clothes unwrinkled and crisp.”

Very professional, crisp, and clean
“They are conveniently located in central Dallas for my firm, but we had a large group of executive, so the headshot photographer came to our Preston Hollow/Highland Park branch. Very professional, crisp, and clean – just the caliber of image we need for our financial services. Good job.”

Specializing in boudoir and fine art photography, they’ve helped over 2,300 women embrace their inner vixen. And their luxurious private studio has over 4,500 square feet of space with nine gorgeous sets—perfect backdrops for your photos.

Though the experience can be a bit pricey, we believe they offer a personalized service that’ll make you feel beautiful.
Most empowering, fun session
“Best experience ever! Tamara and her team will make this the most empowering, fun session of your life. I’ve had a lot of experience with photographers and directors and she is amazing at communicating what you need to do and encouraging you to push yourself in a really good way. Her costume closet is TO DIE FOR and the hardest part of your day will be choosing what to wear from all the epic options. If you’re on the fence about which studio to choose, Paskey is the best all around. Top notch service, beautiful, colorful sets, less restrictive pricing/purchase requirements, and the biggest variety of styles and sizes for the lingerie in DFW. You’ll feel like you’ve made a new best friend and forget any inhibitions you had once she gets you in the door.”

Such an artistic touch to every single photo
“My entire experience at The Vixen Society was incredible!! Tamara was very helpful when it came to scheduling my appointment and answering all of my questions. LaDonna did an amazing job on my hair & makeup and I enjoyed chatting with her! Emma was absolutely fantastic!!! She was extremely helpful with poses…literally from head to toe. My pictures are not only alluring, sultry and sexy, but there’s such an artistic touch to every single photo she shot! She pulled amazing lingerie pieces from the closet for me to try on and absolutely nailed the vibe I was going for. She was patient, skilled, and hyped me up. It was so nice to feel confident and empowered. Thank you so much Emma!! After the shoot, Tamara invited me to the shop to look at albums and check out their lingerie store! It was an all around incredible experience and I can’t recommend it enough.”
