Photographing Fort Worth Families Since 1928

A home is measured not by its walls, but by the moments shared within them. Gittings preserves those moments as fine art that will carry your family legacy through generations.

A Gittings Portrait

From Family Portrait to Fine Art

A family portrait has a presence unlike anything else in your home. It lives where your family gathers, reminding you of toddler hands that were impossibly tiny and faces not yet touched by deepening lines. A photograph captures a moment, but a Gittings portrait preserves it.

For nearly a century, Gittings of Fort Worth has been the leader in local portrait photography, creating heirloom portraits that become part of a family’s legacy. Every session is thoughtfully designed in collaboration with you, ensuring your portrait reflects not only how your family looks, but who you are.

Personal Portraits

The Courtyard

Experience our Fort Worth studio outdoor courtyard. Families choose the courtyard when they want an outdoor portrait without a long walk to find the right spot. It sits at the entrance to our Fort Worth studio, so shade and air conditioning stay within reach the whole time. Ask about it when you plan your session so we can schedule around the light.

Your Experience

What to Expect from Your Family Portrait Session

Design Consultation

Before your session, you’ll meet with your photographer to plan every detail. From where your portrait will hang to wardrobe, groupings, and overall mood, this is where your vision takes shape.

Your Session

Your session is a relaxed, guided experience in studio or at the location of your choosing. Your photographer brings the plan to life, working with you to capture something that feels true to who you are.

Portrait Screening

At a separate in-studio appointment, you’ll view your finished portraits with a Portrait Consultant who helps you select the right pieces for your home. This is where you choose sizes, framing, and products, and where your order is placed.

Questions

Fort Worth Family Photoshoot FAQs

Why is there a session fee, and are images included?

The session fee covers the session itself. Portraits are chosen and purchased afterward, at your Portrait Screening, once you have reviewed and selected your images. We’ll walk you through everything beforehand so there are no surprises.

For a general idea of portrait pricing, please see our page about Investing in Portraits.

Do you photograph pets as part of a family portrait?

Yes. Pets are part of the family, so we’re glad to include them in your session, whether as the main subject or alongside the rest of your family. Just let us know when you schedule so we can plan accordingly.

Can you photograph multiple generations together?

Yes. Multigenerational portraits are one of our specialties, whether that’s grandparents, parents, and children together, or an extended family gathering. It’s a meaningful way to capture a family as it is today.

What should my family wear for portraits?

There isn’t one right answer. Wardrobe is part of your Design Consultation, where we’ll talk through colors, coordination, and what feels true to your family. We’re glad to share guidance ahead of your session too.

How far in advance should I schedule my session?

We recommend scheduling a few weeks ahead when possible, especially during our busiest season, fall through the holidays. That said, we’re always glad to work with your timeline, so give us a call and we’ll find something that works.

It's hot in Texas. What are our comfort options during a session?

The studio or on-location in your home are the easiest choices in peak summer. Our studio is climate-controlled year-round, and our courtyard sits just steps from the door, so you can get the feel of an outdoor session without a long walk in the heat. If your heart is set on the Fort Worth courtyard or a full outdoor portrait, we’ll plan it for early morning when the light is best and the heat has not reached its full peak. Your photographer will help you decide at your consultation.

Do you deliver and install our finished portrait?

Yes. Framed portrait purchases include complimentary delivery and installation at your Fort Worth home or office, handled personally by our team rather than an outside contractor. Installation alone is also available for an additional cost.

Where do I park for my Fort Worth Studio session?

Parking is available directly in front of our studio. Please don’t park in the lot across the street or to the east of the building. We’re happy to walk you through it when you call to schedule.
