My Background
"I've loved taking pictures since I borrowed my uncle Reginald's camera. I developed my skills working with Prestige Portraits, and was inspired to branch out on my own" - Carlos
Photography
I have enjoyed photography most of my life. Sometimes I made money, sometimes I didn't. Whether it was working with Lifetouch & Prestige Portraits or doing private photography sessions, I learned pictures can unite a family. From baby pictures to high school dances, to weddings and family reunions, pictures capture memories. I suppose this is the power of photography, that image frozen in that split second in time, with no knowledge of what the future may hold. With all the beauty, joy, love, and history that make up life- photography allows me to capture it and record it for all time. - Carlos Gartrell
