Portrait Photographer in Southeast Houston, TX

I’m Trent Tidmore, a PPA-certified fine art portrait photographer living in the Clear Lake Shores, Texas area with my amazing wife, Jennifer, our dog, Paws, and our cat, Willow.  

 

Growing up, my father was in the military, before becoming a salesman—needless to say, we moved around a lot. From Arizona to Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, I quickly learned how to be resourceful, connect with people and familiarize myself with new surroundings. 

 

I believe these traits—along with my dad’s great sense of humor, and my mother’s love of learning—made me the photographer I am today. And our life experiences together taught me the importance of being present in every moment, big or small. To capture the candid and turn the fleeting into a photograph that will last forever. 

 

I remember the first portrait I ever photographed was for the family of a developmentally challenged child. For years, the child’s mother devoted all her focus toward her daughter that she didn’t have time to also take photographs of them together. She and I collaborated to create the perfect piece, and when I delivered the portrait, the mother burst into tears, overjoyed to have captured a beautiful memory of her beautiful child. That moment, alone, convinced me I was on the right path.

 

When creating your piece, I take a very collaborative approach. First, we’ll have a consultation to discuss what type of artwork you want me to create for you; how and where it will be displayed in your home; what style, colors, clothing, backgrounds, props—every detail that goes into getting it just right. Then, we have a portrait session to create the photograph, taking your vision and making it real. Once you choose the poses and photographs you want, I will personally deliver and install your wall portraits for your family to enjoy for years to come.

 

At Tidmore Portraits, I work with families to create treasured heirlooms their kids will hand down to their own grandchildren someday. Let’s create something amazing—together.
