I'm Jim Stone, and my team and I cover corporate events and conferences, as well as headshots and executive portraits, in Austin and across Texas.

Most photographers who shoot conferences also shoot weddings, engagements, and newborns, and it means their attention is split and their instincts are trained somewhere else.
Ours aren't. Fifteen years of keynotes, breakouts, exhibit halls, team meetings, awards dinners, and hotel ballrooms with challenging lighting. We know where to stand before the speaker walks on. We know which five minutes of your agenda will produce the photo you use for the next twelve months. We know that the shot your marketing team actually needs is the one of two people laughing in the hallway, not the 20th photo of the same person at the podium.
A lot of our work comes from organizations bringing a conference into Texas from somewhere else. They are planning a three-day event in a city they don't live in, coordinating a venue they have never seen, and the last thing they need is to project-manage their photographer from another time zone. So we aim to be the part of the week they don't have to think about.
Along the way: Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce's Dreamforce conference for seven years, AMD, HubSpot, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, Capital One. CERAWeek in Houston. SXSW in Austin. John Kerry, Daymond John, Ryan Gosling, the MLB All-Star player party, and nine games of the FIFA World Cup in Dallas. Eight years as lead photographer for the Monterey Jazz Festival, back in a previous life in California.
Three things that seem to matter most to the people who hire us twice.
A real quote with real numbers, typically within 24 hours and often the same day. A number and plan you can take straight to your budget holder.
We build a plan from your run-of-show. If two things you care about are scheduled against each other, you find out from us beforehand.
Edited images inside 48 hours as standard. 24-hour delivery is available, and key images can often go to your social team straight from our cameras while the event is still running.

"He got every shot we asked for and then some. He even went above and beyond and sent some of his favorite shots to us during the event itself. I HIGHLY recommend Jim Stone. Pay the man. We're glad we did."

"Super responsive during the planning process and very professional on-site. He ensured that he fully understood our needs. The photographs from the event turned out great."

"He produces very high quality imagery despite the lighting challenges of indoor corporate events, which are many. I now have a beautiful portfolio of imagery to work from. 10 out of 10."
Share the dates, venue, and what you need covered, and we'll send a real number. We typically reply within 24 hours.
