Our photo session was wonderful and I appreciated all the time, effort, and energy that Kyle exerted to assure getting great shots of my family all the while making the session a fun experience. It is not easy to maneuver 17 people (9 kids) into various groupings, but Kyle managed beautifully. The only trouble I had was choosing which shots to purchase as there were so many to choose from. Thank you, Kyle, for the timeless gift of memories that you gave me and my family.

We come out to Red River every year for a little family reunion and always want pictures. Kyle has taken the big group of us and turned us all into beautiful models for our portraits! We came back out and did some individual family photos and I'm convinced he's worth the trip just for this! The process is easy, the emails are detailed and you feel communicated with and your photographer is present. Day of the shoot, Kyle is impeccable with his eye for details, making sure all of us look our best, positioned just right, and our best smiles are made. All 5 of my kids love him and we always leave him excited for the outcome. We've had lots of photos and lots of disappointments. I have never had someone sit there and make us turn, fix our hair, not give crazy eyes, or just get teenagers in general to enjoy themselves as much as they do with him. Absolutely the best you could possibly want in a photographer and you even get your prints right there! Happy to display these on our walls.

Carl and Kyle at Southern Exposure Photography worked with me and my family to get some great shots of our family and our pets! We have had numerous photo sessions with them over the years and have always been pleased with the results. They are very good with capturing the participants looking their best. They have great ideas on what backgrounds and poses will look best. I would highly recommend Southern Exposure Photography for photos you will treasure for a lifetime!

Carl took some fantastic photos of our family! Southern Exposure does a great job for every step of a photo session:
-Asked us about specific photos we wanted to have and made sure that the lighting for those shots would be perfect
-Worked great with a 3 year old to smile and got some candid photos
-The viewing process after the photo shoot was nice and easy, the only challenge we had was settling on our final photos because there were so many great ones!
-They responded to communications quickly and professionally
-The prints that we chose arrived quickly and safely to us and the quality of the paper and photo are excellent.

I highly recommend this company.

Not only do they capture great memories while on the slopes and lifts, Kyle and Carl’s attention to detail while taking family portraits is amazing. The shots they capture year after year always surprise me. Kyle also is awesome at helping plan the layouts for my walls at home, making it all easy! We couldn’t recommend their entire staff more!
