About our photography:
Our photographer, Rod Graham, has over 45 years experience in creating portraits, and has been providing services in the Rio Grande Valley since 1999.
We do not try to sell your residents over-priced prints of their portrait.
Advances in the digital photography world have made it is easy to get prints made at low prices or even to print them at home yourself. With this in mind, we offer your residents the opportunity to purchase the digital file of their portrait, accompanied by a full copyright release. This gives them complete ownership with the ability to use their portrait for any purpose they desire. If purchased, your residents will take their portrait home on a CD the same day they are photographed!
Rod will take several pictures and your residents will choose the one they want to have featured in the directory.
Rod is also expert at taking pictures of your residents with their pets. (where allowed)
