Dawn Richardson
Dawn was featured as one of the top 25 Texas Travel Photographers to follow on Instagram.
Soon after she arrived in Texas in 1977, the Fort Worth photographer has been using her camera to capture moments, suspend time, and tell stories about the Lone Star State. “Combining my photos and words is my attempt to communicate and connect with the world around me,” she says. Like many Texas travel photographers, she has a fondness for far West Texas: “There is beauty of a different kind beyond what one sees at first glance. The landscapes with sunsets, mountains, deserts, and storms—all varied and magnificent containing moments of tranquility, harshness, unrest, wonder, and dreams—inspire me beyond description.” Texas Highways Magazine

Kim Hancock
Kim has never considered herself just one thing. She is an artist, an author, a storyteller, a mother, a hopeless romantic, a Texan, a journalist, an animal lover, a college graduate, a friend, a nice person, a grandmother, a natualist, a computer geek, a wife, a perpetual learner, and the list goes on and on.
So, what sets her apart from other photographers? The answer has to be the wisdom and love that comes from the myriad of experiences she has had in her life and the ability to see that although the kiss is very very important it is the split second before and after the kiss that tells the story.
Emily Roberson
LightWorx Studio creates one of a kind Photographic art using a technique called “Painting with Light”. This technique is done in the camera and not in Photoshop. Using a Tripod, an extended exposure and lots of light painting tools, I will “Paint” a creation that you will love! To be clear there is no actual Paint involved. It is a photograph and the Paint is the Light and the canvas is your vehicle and I will "paint" it without ever touching it.
