Hi, my name is Rick Porier, and I am the Lead Photographer and owner of DFW Pro Photo and Rick Porier Photography. I created this company as my personal photography business was growing and I found myself reaching out to work with other talented photographers, makeup artists, stylists, and videographers. I wanted to start a company for people with similar vision and talent and create a place where creatives like me could focus more on their craft and less on business with the goal of creating a business that employees love and never want to leave and with customers who always want to come back.
“Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never work a day in your life.” ~Mark Twain
My introduction to photography came at a very early age from my dad who was a working professional photographer.
I used to drive my dad crazy as a little kid wasting film shooting pictures of my little green army men with my old Canon AE-1, 35mm film camera (one of my Dad’s hand-me-downs to me). I didn’t fall in love with photography though until I enrolled at the Art Institute of Dallas to major in Computer Animation, many years later. We had classes in photography and video as a part of our curriculum and I fell in love with the possibilities emerging with new digital cameras and how it was just starting to really meld with what you could do in the computer. The digital revolution opened the doors to endless possibilities for creativity and I loved it.
Having a successful photography business required me to continually learn, evolve, and wear many hats. There are a lot of people that try to make it in this business and less than 1% actually turn it into a viable income. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and the hard (expensive) lessons that life can bring you on your journey to success.
I love photography and people, and I hate setting up servers and bookkeeping. To have a good photography business you have to be great at photography and be great at business. The later is where most great photographers fail and also where some, not-so-great photographers succeed. If you are a photographer, videographer, makeup artist, or stylist who does amazing work, then I would love to speak with you. Let's collaborate! Shoot me a message.

That journey is far from over though and I still feel like I have a long way to go. I hope you will be a piece of that journey with me too.
Book a photoshoot today, and I hope to meet you soon.
