Looking for a Photographer in Carrollton?

Michael Anthony Photography serves Carrollton from our private McKinney, Texas studio, award-winning wedding photography and film across Dallas County and the greater metroplex, plus fine-art family, maternity, senior, dog, and headshot portraits.

Carrollton's historic downtown square, rail tracks, brick storefronts, the A.W. Perry Homestead a few blocks away, gives sessions a warmth that new construction can't, and its diverse families keep our calendar interesting.

Carrollton families reach the McKinney studio in about half an hour, close enough for a styled studio session, finished enough to feel like an occasion.

About 30 minutes from our McKinney studio.

Weddings

Carrollton Wedding Photographer

Michael is a PPA Master Photographer twice named the #1 wedding photographer in America, with weddings documented across nine countries, and Carrollton couples book that same artistry close to home.

We photograph and film weddings throughout Dallas County and the wider metroplex, from Beaux-Arts Dallas landmarks to Stockyards hotels and Collin County chapels and vineyards, with no travel fee anywhere in Dallas-Fort Worth. Every wedding is photographed, and filmed, as legacy, not coverage.

Families

Carrollton Family Photographer

Family portraits are the heart of our work for Carrollton. Most sessions happen in the private McKinney studio, sculpted lighting, hand-painted backdrops, and wardrobe guidance for every family member, so the finished portraits feel like art rather than a template.

It's why families from across Dallas County make the drive: light that never depends on the weather, a session that runs on your children's pace, and an in-person reveal where we design the wall art your home is missing.

Maternity

Maternity Photography in Carrollton

Our maternity sessions are the most personal portraits we make for Carrollton mothers. The studio's couture gown wardrobe is included, there is nothing to buy, and every frame is directed and lit so you feel like the subject of a painting at the height of an extraordinary chapter.

The McKinney studio is appointment-only and reserved exclusively for you: about 30 minutes from our McKinney studio. Partners and big brothers and sisters are always welcome in the frame.

Seniors

Carrollton Senior Pictures

Senior year deserves better than a school template. We photograph Carrollton seniors in the studio with editorial direction, wardrobe planning, multiple looks, and set changes that give announcements all the variety they need, no weather required.

Athletes, musicians, dancers, artists: bring the jersey or the instrument. The goal is a portrait confident enough for the graduation announcement and beautiful enough for the wall.

Dogs & Their Humans

Dog Photography for Carrollton Pets

They're family, we photograph them like it. Studio dog portraits on hand-painted backdrops, lit like fine art, made with endless patience and a pocket full of treats.

Carrollton dogs and their humans are equally welcome in the frame, and many families pair a dog portrait with a family session in a single studio visit.

Professionals

Headshots & Personal Branding in Carrollton

Polished, modern headshots for Carrollton professionals, executives, agents, physicians, attorneys, and actors, photographed in the studio or on site at your office or venue.

Personal-branding sessions go further: an art-directed library of editorial images for your website, press, and social presence, built around what you actually do.

What Does a Carrollton Photographer Cost?

Photography-and-film and film-only coverage are both available, with no travel fee anywhere in Texas. Because your date, hours, and coverage all move the number, every wedding is quoted individually. Portrait sessions are a separate studio experience, where you invest only in the finished artwork you choose at your reveal.

The Work

Portraits Worth the Drive from Carrollton

Historic Downtown Carrollton · A.W. Perry Homestead · Sandy Lake greenbelt · Arbor Hills (adjacent), the landmarks of home. The portraits happen in the studio, where the light always cooperates.

We don’t take photos, we craft legacies. The portrait on your wall should mean more every year it hangs there.
