Not a queue.
Most seniors get thirty minutes and a generic backdrop. Yours gets up to five hours and the entire Houston Metro.
One photographer · One hundred seniors · One year
Three things you will not find anywhere else in the Houston Metro.
Master Photographer
Ty Swartz holds the M.Photog.Cr. and CPP credentials of the Professional Photographers of America, a combination held by fewer than 2% of photographers in the United States. Forty years of craft. One thousand seniors photographed.
Sessions per year
Not 800. Not 400. Not 200. One hundred seniors are accepted into the Swartz Portraits experience each year, by application. The scarcity is real, and it is the reason every senior we photograph receives the full attention of a Master Photographer.
Hours per session
Up to five hours. Multiple locations. Unlimited outfit changes. Time enough to find who your senior actually is in front of a camera, and time enough to capture the version of them you have been waiting eighteen years to see.
Five hours. One senior. Completely yours.
It begins with a free in-home consultation in your living room, where Ty learns who your senior is, what they love, and how they want to be remembered. Style, location, story, and pacing are designed around your senior, not around a template.
The session itself is up to five hours across multiple locations. Old Town Spring at golden hour. Mercer Botanical Gardens at first light. The Woodlands Waterway after dusk. Whatever feels most like your senior.
Seven to ten days later, your senior sees their portraits for the first time at the Reveal. The Reveal is where the experience becomes a legacy.

This is what forty years looks like.
Editorial-quality portraits that belong in a magazine, not a yearbook. Fine art prints made to hang above the fireplace, not sit in a folder.
Galveston at sunrise.
Or Corpus Christi.
Wherever the salt air takes you.
For seniors who want the most cinematic possible work, a beach session begins with sunrise on the Gulf and transitions to other locations through the day. Soft sand. First light. Salt air. The ocean as your backdrop. This is a premium add-on, available by request during your consultation.
Galveston. Cabo. Sydney.
For the senior whose story is bigger than a backyard, the Swartz Portraits experience travels. Ty has photographed seniors from the Texas Gulf Coast to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Tell us where the story is, and we will go.
- Galveston Island sunrise
- Corpus Christi pier sunset
- Cabo San Lucas cliffside
- Sydney Opera House and harbour
- Wherever your senior wants the story
Museum-quality. Handcrafted in Italy.
The portraits do not stop at digital files. Every Swartz Portraits session ends with the option to commission heirloom products from GraphiStudio of Italy. Acrylic blocks. Folio boxes. Wall art. Albums made by hand using techniques refined over generations.
These are the prints that will hang in your home for the next forty years. Your senior's grandchildren will see them.
