Yavapai County, Arizona
Born and raised in Prescott Valley.
This is where I grew up. After a decade on the California coast building campaigns that grew companies double-digit year-over-year, for landscape contractors, restaurants, hospitality groups, professional services, and brand-side clients of every shape, nothing has me more excited than bringing that craft home. The Yavapai businesses I drove past as a kid are the ones I want to see win in their next chapter, and the playbook is already built and ready.

“Tex is a brilliant photographer and an absolute joy to work with! He recently took our engagement photos and the final products exceeded our expectations in every way. Not only are the photos stunning, but the entire experience was so much fun! Tex went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera which was so important as my fiancé and I are pretty shy folks. Tex even scheduled multiple sessions at different locations throughout the day that hold special meaning to us, which made both the experience and the photos turn out just perfect. He was great at giving us prompts and pose ideas that felt very natural for us and made the entire process very relaxing. He even shared some sneak peak photos with us the day after and we're so excited to make a photo album with his work! Tex's talent, creativity, and attention to detail shine through in every photo. He has a gift for capturing the beauty and emotion of a moment, and we feel so grateful to have him as a part of our journey. If you're looking for a photographer who will deliver breathtaking photos and make the experience enjoyable and stress-free, look no further than Tex! We can't recommend him enough.”

“Tex Kelly and his talents are such a gift and joy. Thank you so much for all of the amazingness your skills brought to the Arcata Highschool Football State Champions of 2024!!! His love and support and video and photography skills lifted the whole team. Such powerful film and editing and visuals that filled up the whole team with such an energy… amazing what the correct film and photos and music and editing can do to evoke all the feels. You have such a gift and it was so beautiful to witness and be a part of. I would recommend this man to come to ANY event I wanted to memorialize and remember. He sees people and knows how to bring them together and highlight their strengths and amazingness. I am so excited for this community to use his talents for their sports photography photos and that teams get their highlight reels from him and that more weddings and senior portraits and parties and events get to have Tex there to usher in the best photo video proof and memories you will forever cherish. THANK YOU TEX!!!! Your talent is phenomenal!!!!”

“If you're looking for a great photographer, look no further. We are from TX, and it was our first time visiting Trinidad, CA. I knew I wanted to propose here but had no idea where to start, so I took a shot in the dark and reached out to Tex. From the start, Tex was friendly and communicative, and he ultimately helped me pick an awesome spot for my proposal. At proposal day Tex was even better, he was warm and seemed genuinely happy to be there with us. I'll add that my (now) Fiance and I do not normally take a ton of photos, but Tex somehow had us completely comfortable and laughing through different poses for the entire hour session. He truly captured the surprise (this moment was 4 years in the making), excitement, and joy of the moment in a way that you can feel, even just looking at the photos. Go to Tex! I don't know him personally, but I will say this, this guy is the real deal, a kind hearted person and top notch professional who really seems dedicated to his craft.”

“Tex took family photos for us just before Christmas this year and I am in love with every single one of them!!! Not only was Tex extremely professional but he also made the experience feel natural and fun! If you are a parent of young children, you know how powerful that is! After spending just a few minutes together, he took the time to learn about us and even was willing to travel to another location that was significant to our story. With this attention to detail and creativity, he truly captured the spirit of our family!! Aside from his talent in photography, he even surprised us by having the photos to us within days despite it being the holidays! I feel that Tex went above and beyond for us and I'm so grateful that he was able to capture these moments that we will never forget. I would recommend Tex to anyone looking for any kind of photography or cinematography needs!!! Thank you, Tex!!!! You made our holiday!!!”

“Tex started taking photographs and shooting videos of my son's football team this year and we couldn't be more thrilled with his finished pieces of art. He truly captured all the boys individual personalities as well as documenting the family bond they share. He paid such attention to detail getting all the moments nobody thinks twice about but we are so thankful to have these memories for a lifetime. Not to mention these boys can use these highlights to share to colleges if they are pursuing scholarships. I can't say enough good things about his productions and will be hiring him for any photography and videography needs in the future.”

“We hired Tex for our Wedding later this year and just did our Engagement photos with him! Not only did Tex take the time to make sure that we were both comfortable at the beginning, but he made us feel so relaxed throughout the entire session! His confident and personable demeanor allowed us to not have any worries and just to enjoy it! And the photos are AMAZING! Everyone that's seen them has commented on how happy we both look and it's totally because Tex created an environment where we could just have fun! So grateful and excited for our wedding Day photos! Highly recommend to anyone! High quality person and high quality photos!”

Tex Kelly. Prescott Valley native. Voted Humboldt County's Best.
Born and raised in Prescott Valley. Award-winning videographer, photographer, wedding filmmaker, and Drone FAA Part 107 certified pilot. The studio is based in Humboldt County, California, but Yavapai is where I grew up, and a meaningful share of the work is now coming back to Northern Arizona.
Tex has a decade of experience marketing and growing companies, brand systems, paid-media engines, and integrated campaigns that have moved the needle for North Coast operators. Businesses that worked with Tex through the COVID-19 era didn't just survive; many of them thrived, because the marketing fundamentals were sound enough to compound through a moment that broke a lot of less-prepared brands.
The production craft is the newer chapter on top of all that strategy. It wasn't until two years ago that Tex bought his first camera and started producing TV commercials and editorial photography in-house, which means every frame is captured by an operator who already understood, from a decade of campaign work, exactly what a brand needs in order to convert.
1 billion+ views. 2 million+ followers. A brand recognized for visual storytelling that's both beautiful and impactful, from cinematic wedding films to drone footage to commercial content. The Yavapai engagement is the next chapter; the playbook is already built.
California studio. Yavapai service area.
The studio is at 322 Grotto Street in Old Town Eureka, one of the only Humboldt production companies with a dedicated office and creative space. Yavapai engagements are served from there with on-site travel into Prescott Valley, Prescott, Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome, Chino Valley, and Camp Verde.
Discovery calls, strategy intensives, brand reviews, and project planning all run remotely. Production shoots, brand campaigns, and event coverage travel to Yavapai. Most Yavapai engagements never require a studio visit; for clients who want one, the door is open.
