Hi, I’m Cole — a Houston-based portrait photographer. Creativity has always been a part of who I am, and I’ve explored it in many forms since I was young. But it was in high school that I found my footing behind the camera. What started as snapping portraits of friends quickly turned into something more — I became known around my school and hometown as “the photographer guy,” and that reputation gave me the confidence to see photography not just as a hobby, but as something worth building into a business. By my senior year, I was booking shoots and taking my craft seriously.

When COVID hit, it changed everything. The world felt like it shifted overnight, and I ended up drifting away from photography. In the years that followed, I struggled to reconnect with the very thing that had once brought me so much joy. But in 2025, I decided it was time to return to what I love.

Stills by Cole is where stories become stills — yours, mine, and the ones we create together. Whether you’re looking for clean headshots, something moody and cinematic, or images that feel straight out of a magazine, I’m here to help you capture what matters. Let’s build something that lasts longer than a scroll.
