Portrait & Underwater Photographer in Frisco, TX
I shoot seniors, families, couples, and anyone who wants a photo of themselves that actually looks like them. Every shoot gets planned out first: golden hour at a park, a studio setup on location, or the whole thing underwater. Based in Frisco, working across Plano, McKinney, and DFW.
Between a day job, family, and my kids' games, I shoot about two sessions a month, so it helps to ask early. Have a look through the galleries below, check what every session costs, and reach out when you're ready to plan yours.
Portrait sessions
Pick a starting point. Every session gets planned with you before shoot day, and the prices are posted, not quoted.
Seniors & Grads
High school seniors, college grads, and anyone hitting a milestone. Golden hour at a park, editorial downtown, or studio lighting on location.
Families
Relaxed family photos, babies to grandparents, dog included. Thirty minutes or the full hour, any time of year, with every good frame in your gallery.
Underwater
Shot in a private pool in daylight, and planned down to the outfit. It's the newest thing I shoot, and my own kids can't get enough of it.
Portraits, couples, athletes, and brand too. See every session and price
How I shoot
I shoot for people who want more than a stiff smile against a brick wall. Every session gets planned first: the spot, the outfits, the time of day. Then I direct the whole thing, so you're not guessing what to do with your hands. And yeah, I shoot underwater too.
Think you're awkward in photos? That's fine. Fixing that is my job, not yours.
Meet your photographer
I'm Amer Khalid, a portrait photographer, husband, and dad of two boys in Frisco, TX. I want your photos to look like you on a good day.
I work with seniors, college grads, athletes, families, founders, and creators. Every session is fully guided: I help with outfits, pick the spot with you, and tell you exactly how to stand. Golden hour at a park, lights set up at your gym, or the shallow end of a pool, it works the same way.
The rest of my week is a software engineering job, my boys' games, and learning to sail.
What clients say
"Amer was awesome. Super patient, creative and efficient with editing and sending photo gallery. He made it an enjoyable experience and created some beautiful photography!!"
"I hired Amer to help me upgrade my online photos. He did a fantastic job. I didn’t have much experience doing a photo shoot in a public place. He really helped by directing me how and where to stand. He is also a great person to be around which helped me relax. The photos turned out great! If I can I will definitely use him for all my photoshoots in the future."
"Amazing! He did a wonderful job on the senior pictures."
"Thank you Amer for capturing our daughter beautifully! We received the images fast and they are beautiful."
"Amer knows what he is doing. He made my family with 1 year old feel comfortable throughout the photo shoot. Took his time to find the best possible spots and got us brilliant looking pictures within a week. Thanks Amer, 100% recommended for anyone searching for pro photographer for your occasions."
