Hello,
We’d love to schedule a quick preliminary meeting to review your layout and specific needs before starting. We offer product photography in our studio as well as head shots on location. We do HIGH END interiors, no small homes.
We also partner with an exceptional product stylist, Laura Beikman, to deliver polished results. If needed, we can photograph your full inventory directly at your warehouse—we’ve done it before.
In our downtown Dallas studio, we shoot tethered to a laptop, allowing you to view images in real time on a dedicated display so you can monitor quality and progress as we go. Our clients range from small business owners to large companies selling on platforms like Amazon, Etsy, Zulily, and their own websites.
With over 25 years of experience, we tailor our pricing to each project based on its specific needs.
You’re also welcome to visit our 3,000 sq. ft. studio at 311 South Pearl in downtown Dallas. We keep things comfortable with refreshments, including cold drinks and a selection of wine. Feel free to explore the work samples here in my profile.
Thanks for your time,
Paul

Really hate getting my picture done and dreaded this appointment. However, Paul made me comfortable and relaxed. The result was a wonderful head shot! Paul was quick and I left his studio with my pictures on a flash drive in less than an hour. Wonderful experience!

GREAT JOB! After hiring Paul we got the clear scope of the job from our customer, Paul and stylist Laura jumped in without hesitation and completed the project for us on time, meeting both of our deadlines. We will be hiring him again and highly recommend him.

Paul has done a fantastic job for The Decor Group with photographing our products for our online store and our catalogs, as well as shooting video footage of some of our lighting products in action. Not only is Paul a professional but he is fun to work with! I highly recommend Paul Lara for your photography needs!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not have a standard price. It varies from job to job. Headshots are much less expensive than catalog shoots because of the time and staffing needs,
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will usually meet with the client before our catalog shots and go over layouts with the designers. We shoot, and then retouch and turn images back to client. I love being a photographer and meeting new people. I think t shows in my work.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BS degree with a major in Photography from Texas A&M in Commerce, Texas with a minor in Journalism.
