Scott made it so easy for me to make an appointment quite last minute and get my much needed professional headshot done. He made me feel comfortable throughout the photo shoot. I like the photos I have a lot. One thing to note is there is not any tuning or editing of photos I select. I didn't ask for it, so I was happy with what I had, but you won't get edited photos if that is what you are expecting. You will get high quality original photos. More...

Scott is an awesome photographer. Very kind & really cares about the person being photographed. He has helped me with my LinkedIn profile picture and hence I'm now much more confident in my professional presentation. Highly recommend!

Scott is so kind, welcoming, and warm. He made taking my headshots so much fun! I was nervous but he made me feel comfortable and open up to the camera.

I cannot recommend Scott highly enough. I tend to get a little uncomfortable in front of the camera, but he was able to make it a really easy (and even fun) experience. I'm really happy with how the photos came out. I couldn't be happier with the overall process and outcome. I would absolutely work with Scott again and would suggest that anyone looking for a great experience and great portraits should consider working with Scott! More...

Working with Scott was a great experience. I am thrilled with the photos he took for my professional headshot. He was easy to communicate with and made me feel very comfortable as someone who is not generally comfortable in front of a camera. I would highly recommend working with him! More...

Scott was a pleasure to work with, a true professional. He created a very comfortable atmosphere and we were able to get some fantastic shots. His home studio does not lack anything that a commercial space would offer so the value versus the quality is excellent. I look forward to hopefully working with Scott again and would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a professional photographer. More...

Scott is an amazing photographer, creative, bold and original.
He likes to get off the beaten track that is why his work is so unexpected and attractive.
Over the years, mastering his art and technic he learned to capture through the lens intense emotions and beauty that will stay with us for ever and ever.

Scott Houston has photographed me and members of my family several times over the years. His work is absolutely outstanding and always seems to have an additional dimension that yield distinct, special photographs. Scott has an unusual eye, and can somehow weave both an urban/nature feel into the work . He is always professional and, in personal terms, truly puts his subjects at ease. I highly recommend him.

I had never liked having my photograph taken. I had to have a portrait and I came to him with much trepidation. To my great relief he was calm, patient and very gentle. I relaxed and he took a very natural portrait of me. More...
