And we want to make your choice easier by presenting you with our favorite portrait photographers in DFW.

We hope our experience with these dynamic creatives can help you choose your favorite for your portrait work.

Typically, getting professional portraits done can seem like a lengthy process. You have to find the right photographer, choose the right location, and — if it’s an outdoor shoot — hope the weather is good on the date of your booking. But we want to show you it doesn’t have to be that hard. Peerspace has done some of the work for you by seeking out the nine best Dallas portrait photographers. And though we can’t do anything about the weather, we can ask you to check out our platform for all the stunning indoor and outdoor hidden gem spaces we have for rent by the hour. Many of which just happen to be portrait perfect! But first, check out these photographers’ Instagram feeds to find the perfect fit for your shoot.

Amy Karp is one of the premier wedding and portrait photographers in the Dallas area. She also offers boudoir, bridal, and engagement photos, and can shoot in her studio near the design district or at a location of your choosing. She also has experience in underwater photography! So if you’re a swimmer or diver — or simply want a unique look for your portraits — an underwater photo shoot may be the thing for you.

Amy has shot everywhere from Fort Worth to China, and she says her “passport and bags are ready for your destination wedding”. She prides herself on being invested in her clients’ experiences and delivering results that shine.

Casey Lee is a Dallas-area photographer focusing on music and lifestyle portraiture. Are you a tattoo artist? Cyclist? Musician? Casey may be the right photographer for you. With years of experience in music and documentary work, he’s the ideal photographer to capture your band live on stage or get the perfect portrait for your album cover.

Casey says that his mission is to “tell stories” and catch a “single image that stops you in your tracks”. His portraits feature subjects looking right into the camera, making the photos seem confrontational and humanizing at the same time. You really can’t look away!

Recognized as one of the top 100 senior portrait photographers in the U.S., Cindy Swanson enjoys working with high school students to capture this unique time in their lives. Her photo packages include a phone consultation to discuss clothing choices, makeup, and hairstyle, as well as a welcome packet with a checklist to prepare for the shoot. She makes the shoot fun and casual, with “magazine-style” poses, and will even let you peek at a few images. A few weeks after the shoot, you’ll visit her studio to see a slideshow of all of the photos and choose your favorites.
