This is my daughter Violet, captured on a wet plate tintype years ago, the very first time I tried this process on a person. Looking back at it now, I still love how it turned out.

There's something about tintype that photographs simply can't replicate. When I first started, I didn't realize just how much light this process demands. I ended up using every studio strobe I owned just to get enough exposure on the plate.

But what I love most is that the plate is never perfect, and neither are we. The swirls, the edges, the little flaws in the emulsion, they make it feel more honest, more human. Just like the people we love, the perfection is in the imperfection. Maybe that's why it captures presence rather than just a likeness.

Funny how a first attempt can still hold up as one of my favorites all these years later.

If you've ever wanted a portrait that feels timeless rather than just another photo on your phone, this is it. I'm currently booking tintype sessions, send me a message or check the link in my bio to grab a spot.

Archive Spotlight, one of our award-winning images from over the years.

This week we are looking back at Morgan and her horse, captured in a beautiful pecan grove right along the river bottom. The light through the trees, the quiet of that spot, made for one of the most enjoyable sessions I have ever had the pleasure of shooting. Watching her feed her horse in that moment, so natural and unposed, is something I will never forget.

This image went on to win an award many years ago now, and it has remained one of my personal favorites. It is always such a crowd pleaser too, people just seem to connect with the tenderness of it.

Each week we will be pulling another favorite from our archive of award-winning prints and sharing the story behind it. If you have a favorite portrait style you would love recreated for your own family, send us a message or check the link in our bio to book your session.

We're absolutely thrilled to our family. This little lady is the spitting image of sass and style. She is a Harlequin Great Dane and the proud daughter of our beloved Zeus from his first litter, and our official pick of the litter, she's already ruling the roost. Stay tuned for more adventures of this gorgeous girl!

One of my influences as a photographer is Disfarmer — a portrait photographer from rural Arkansas who captured everyday people with such stark honesty and directness. His work isn't for everyone, but if you get a chance, go look at it. I think it's remarkable.

This image of George, my youngest son, is one I'm particularly proud of because it reflects his influence on my work in a way that doesn't always show up in my other photography. And because it's my son — that always makes these images more important to me.

💬 Who are some of your favorite photographers? (And I know that's a strange question — even most photographers don't know the names of the photographers who've influenced them.)

Surrounded by wildflowers and wonder. 🦋✨🌼

There's nothing quite like a newborn session with Jenna — where every detail tells a story. This little one nestled in nature's embrace, butterflies dancing overhead, blooms framing pure innocence.

This is art. This is love. This is why we do what we do. 💛

I love photographing people with their horses. This beautiful chestnut with the white face is a Tennessee Walker, and there's something about capturing that bond. I'm particularly drawn to Quarter Horses and Paints — there's real character in their lines. My wife's always been partial to Palominos ever since she grew up with one as a little girl. What's your favourite breed or colour? Tell me in the comments — I'd love to know what draws you to certain horses.🌅 Some moments deserve more than a snapshot—they deserve to become a legacy. The Texas sky put on an unforgettable show, and together we created a portrait that captures adventure, freedom, and the spirit of the West. This is more than a photograph—it's a piece of art you'll be proud to display for generations. 📸 Now booking portrait sessions throughout Central Texas. ✨ Senior portraits, family portraits, equine and western portraits, fine art wall portraits. Ready to create something extraordinary? Book your session today at www.bythemayfields.com or send us a message. We’d love to tell your story. Hashtags: , , , , , , , , , , .

Don't wait—your holiday slots are filling fast. Book your family portrait session now!These days, it's hard to buy gifts for people. But the gift of a family portrait? That's something special. It's hard to put together, but it means so very much to everyone. An image like this for mom and dad, grandma and granddad—it means everything to the whole family.
Getting everyone together—grandparents, parents, kids, cousins—doesn't happen often. And when it does, especially around the holidays, you've got limited time and one real shot to get it right.
That's why it matters who you hire. As a husband and wife photography team, Jenna and I have a real advantage when it comes to family pictures. We both come from large families and understand those dynamics. Together, we have thirty years of experience photographing everything from small children to extremely elderly people. It's not just about fitting everyone in the frame—it's about creating something timeless that tells your family's story.
We'll help you design your large family portrait from the ground up. Most people don't know where to start, and that's where we come in. We guide you through everything—clothing choices, backgrounds, placement, meaningful details. We don't just pick a pretty backdrop. We help you find one with significance and meaning to your family. All of that happens in our design session, which is what sets us apart.
The holidays are coming fast. If you're thinking about scheduling your family portrait session, now is the time to book. Our holiday slots fill quickly, and we want to make sure your family gets on the calendar while we can still give you the time and attention you deserve.
This is a moment worth getting right. Let's make it happen.

Ever heard of an ambrotype? Most people haven't.
It's similar to a tintype, but shot on glass instead of metal. And here's where it gets interesting: when you first look at an ambrotype, it appears as a negative—ghostly, reversed, hard to see. But back it with black, and something magical happens. Suddenly you're looking at a portrait that reveals that something indefinable that makes someone truly unforgettable.
This portrait of Shelby was shot on an eight by ten glass ambrotype, using a Pinkham and Smith series four soft focus lens and my Graflex studio master eight by ten camera. Hand-poured film. Hand-developed. One of a kind. No retouching. No digital manipulation. Just light and chemistry freezing time in silver.
These portraits don't just stand the test of time figuratively—they literally outlast everything else we've ever created. They're the highest resolution, longest lasting images in the history of photography. The kind of thing you pass down through generations.
If you want a portrait that's truly unforgettable—something that stops time and holds it—let's talk about creating your ambrotype.

The Bell family is a beautiful reminder that family is everything—👨‍👩‍👧‍👦‍👦 bigger, stronger, and more connected with every generation. You may know that Jenna and I have big families ourselves—so we know firsthand how special a large family portrait can be.

When we photographed the Bells on their land 🌳, we saw how love across three generations filled every frame. From the littlest grandkids 👶 to the wise grandparents, every member brought a special spark.

For nearly 30 years, we’ve been capturing large, multi-generational families with creativity and care. Whether you have infants or family members over 90, we know how to bring everyone together 📸. The only problem? You’ll have too many great images to choose from!

But don’t wait—there are only a limited number of sessions available before it’s too late to get Christmas card-ready images 🎄. Book your free design session today, and let’s create a portrait that will be part of your family’s story for generations.
