ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY FOR DESIGN-LED SPACES

Lines & Light Studio is a woman-owned architectural photography studio based in San Antonio, Texas. I create refined, purposeful imagery for architects, interior designers, contractors, developers, and building owners throughout Texas and beyond.

With more than 25 years of experience in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, I understand how thoughtful photography can communicate design intent, craftsmanship, and the experience of a space.

My collaborative approach allows us to identify the defining elements of each project and create a cohesive collection of images for portfolios, publications, award submissions, marketing, and editorial use.

FAQ

How do I get an estimate?

Please email me a shot list or marked set of plans and I will provide an estimate of my time. Note: If I spend more or less time during the shoot, your invoice will be adjusted accordingly.

How do you bill for the built environment?

I bill for my time. The clock starts when I arrive on site and keeps going through setup, shooting and the clock stops when I have packed up.

Do you charge for a walkthrough?

Yes, I do charge for this time. I feel it's a great investment for all parties involved as it will enable us to avoid wasting valuable time and unforeseen issues during the shoot. If the project does not get photographed, you will be billed for my time.

What is your cancellation policy?

If a walkthrough, drive-by or any travel the day of the shoot takes place, you will be billed for my time.

What are the best practices for an Architectural Shoot?

Please refer to my architectural photography Best Practices PDF.
