Misty
Yes. There is something important in your original that I would absolutely keep: you are personally invested, but Photography by Misty is bigger than Misty. I’d just turn the lens toward what that means for the client.
Photography by Misty was built around a simple belief: when you trust us with your company’s image, we treat it like our own business.
As founder and owner, I may be the photographer behind the camera, or I may introduce you to another member of our team whose expertise is the best fit for your needs. Either way, you’re not simply hiring a photographer—you’re gaining a team that understands the responsibility that comes with representing your people, your event and your brand.
We know that the person hiring us has a reputation on the line, too. Our job is to make the process easy, help people feel confident in front of our cameras, anticipate what your team will need, and create images and video that continue working for your organization long after shoot day.
And sometimes, what you need has nothing to do with photography. If you're coming to Dallas from out of town, new to the area, or simply need a trusted local resource, give me a call. After more than two decades of working with businesses and people throughout DFW, chances are I know someone who can help—or someone who knows the right person.
Because taking care of our clients has never been limited to what happens in front of our cameras.
your image. our business.
Meet Your Photography & Videography Team
Jenny
Product/Headshots/Event Photographer (and editing, too)
We first met Jenny at a fancy little children's boutique Cat and the Fiddle, where Photography by Misty created children's portraits with live bunnies & Jolly Ole St Nick. When it came time to hire help, Jenny said she was interested and the rest has blossomed into a talented photographer and an everlasting friendship.
Hi, I’m Jenny. Although my first several years with Photography by Misty were spent behind the scenes, 13 years ago I mentioned I'd like to start working behind the camera. Although a lot more goes into a great portrait than I first imagined, after side-by-side training, lots of questions, answers and adjustments, I am really good at what I do. If your team is needing updated headshots or your company is having a conference, my years of training and experience make me an obvious choice. Misty admires that I am coachable (and now often coach her). Why? I have now taken on editing for PBM, which, in turn, makes me a better photographer.
Although I love capturing genuine portraits for you, I spend most days with my girl Marlee, still dating the hubs Seth, knitting, exercising, and traveling.
KK
Photographer/Assistant
Hi, I'm Kunjal, but most people call me K.K.. While you will still see me assisting at shoots (as I learn something new from each of our photographers and every event), I have been a headshot and event photographer for Misty for almost two years. One year I shared my dream of becoming one of Misty's photographers, the next year we were making it happen.
My journey toward becoming a professional photographer started with a chance encounter with Misty, as an instructoir with Collin County College's continuing education campus. During a photography class, I was inspired by her expertise and decided to pursue my passion even further.
Since then, I've been on a continuous learning journey, seeking out wisdom and techniques from experienced photographers.
In my free time, I enjoy connecting with people, binge-watching my favorite shows, spending time with my handsome husband, dog and kids. Additionally, I am an expert in organizing.
Jesse
Photographer
Misty first met Jesse at a Canon class. She knew he'd be the perfect fit as one of our photographers. Jesse is gracious, always smiling and loves his family. People-first is a quality that goes a long way under the PBM umbrella.
Hi, my name is Jesse Bennett. Born and raised in NY, not NYC but 1 hour north! I've been a DFW resident for more than 10 years and have grown to love Texas. My interest in photography started in 2021, when we were expecting my first daughter, wanting to capture a lifetime of moments.
Lauren
Headshot, Event & Branding Photographer
We first hired Lauren as a model for one of our branding shoots. She was such a Rockstar, Misty had to know more. From model to assistant to go-to photographer (she, coincidentally was already a photographer when we met her), it's been fun to watch Lauren mature in her creative endeavors.
Lauren here! Born with a creative eye, I chose photography as my outlet, pursuing diligently to make it my career. Aa a former model, I enjoy the challenge of posing groups and individuals, helping clients feel beautiful & comfortable, enabling me to photograph their genuine selves. I take pride in providing tips and tricks to produce that just-right portrait.
While my fave shoots are one-on-one interactions, PBM's owner Misty and Editor/Photographer Jenny most admire my story-telling corporate-event images.
While I am honored when people specifically ask for me to photograph their event, oftentimes I am on a different type of shoot location. Many months each year, I can be found on movie sets, as the Costume Designer, Costume Supervisor, Set Costumer and Costume Buyer.
When not working, you can find me communing with friends at barre class or exploring small towns in my native great State of Texas.
Beth
Photographer, specializing in events & headshots.
Photography was the hobby I couldn't put down. It stayed a hobby through my years in the Navy and through my degree at the Academy of Art University — I just kept a camera with me and kept getting better at using it. Making it the job came later, once I finally admitted the thing I loved doing was also the thing I did best.
I shoot headshots, events, and branding work with the team. My favorite moment in any session is the one where somebody stops bracing themselves and starts actually being in the picture. Almost everyone tells me up front that they hate having their photo taken. Almost everyone leaves surprised.
My husband Noah and I moved our family down from Southern Maryland in September 2023, and Dallas has been very good to us. When I'm not shooting, I'm managing our other businesses or being mom to our two kids. Noah and I are both veterans and both incurable travelers — several countries in so far, and we're not done. He packs the car. I take the pictures.
Ramsey
Video Services
Thanks to Trusted Friend, Photographer and Videographer Demi (you may remember her) we got to know Ramsey (and Lauren). Ramsey is a talented videographer and stellar story producer, turning raw content into pieces that capture and keep the attention of viewers.
Outside of Photography by Misty, Ramsey uses his talents to create captivating real estate photography and video, and spends his weekends turning "I dos" into shareable generational stories.
Since it is a bit challenging to get Ramsey to talk about himself, hence why, even after all these years, there's not a lot we can share. And also the reason we are writing his bio for him.
What we do know, however, is that he rescues animals. Ramsey didn't even know he liked dogs until he rescued one. He still doesn't care for cats, but he does feed, water and change the litter box for his two house cats. The cat story will make more sense if you ask him to tell. Regardless, he is obviously a good guy.
What we do know is that you'll be thrilled with the results he produces, founded in experience, expertise and earnestness.
An
Photographer, specializing in events & headshots
What began as a student/teacher relationship has evolved into An working with the Photography by Misty Team. See, An was a student in Misty's Collin College class "How to Build a Photography Business."
An is a rockstar of a person. While the USA is the country he appreciates the most, An returns to Vietnam for a month every year to distribute life-saving resources. Throughout the remainder of the year, he works tirelessly with his non-profit Quy Ngheo Nhan - Viet Aid Fund to raise money for the people of his homeland. Upon his arrival back into the states, however he literally kisses the ground. We are proud of not only An's photography work, but his commitment to others and how much he appreciates the privilege of living in the United States of America.
Christian
Photographer
Hi, I’m Christian. I’m a photographer based in Dallas, and one of my favorite things about this job is getting to meet and work with so many different people.
I studied graphic design, so I’ve always been interested in how things look and why certain images just feel right. Photography became another way for me to explore that, but what keeps me interested in it is the human side of it. I really enjoy getting to know the person in front of my camera, even if it’s only for a few minutes.
A lot of people tell me they don’t like having their picture taken, and I completely understand that. I don’t think a photoshoot needs to feel serious or awkward. I’d much rather talk, laugh a little, figure out what works, and make the whole thing feel as natural as possible.
I’m originally from Mexico City, and that will always be a big part of who I am. I love my culture, I love where I come from, and I really enjoy sharing that with people. I think it shapes the way I connect with others and the way I move through the world.
Working with Misty has taught me a lot. I’ve learned from watching how she works, asking a lot of questions, and getting plenty of hands on experience. Photography is one of those things where you never really stop learning, and I actually like that about it.
When I’m not taking pictures, I’m usually at the gym, planning my next trip, spending time with friends, or hanging out with my dogs.

Ezra
Graphics / Assistant
While searching for assistants, Misty went on a field trip with another local photographer who was teaching at Collin College's continuing education campus. And there was Ezra. Willing to learn and grow. Ezra tackles new technology with an open mind and dedication, and, most importantly, treats our clients with the grace and respect they deserve.
Welcome! My name is Ezra! I went to a liberal arts high school in Dallas and during my time there realized I have an eye and passion for creativity. I studied graphic design in college and earned an associates degree for design communication. However, while doing an internship for graphic design, I realized I had even more creative potential beyond making logos. This is when my journey with photography began! With my never ending desire to capture memories with my friends, I realized that I love the art of doing just that- capturing memories! Photos are all we have to keep these memories sacred, and I believe they are the most important aspect of art. So, I am currently studying photography at Collin College and am excited to take what I have learned and apply it to the wonderful team at Photography By Misty!
Kim
Assistant
Hi. I am Kim. I started working for Photography by Misty in October 2025.
I call myself a professional hobbyist. I have been taking pictures since I was a child. I remember buying my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic X-15F. It was love at first click. I eventually declared my allegiance to Canon and went SLR (first an AE-1, then an Elan II). When my Elan could not be repaired (broken door so film would get exposed), I went digital with the EOS 50D then EOS 80D. And months ago I went full frame with the R6 Mark III.
My previous careers have been creative endeavors – designing newspapers and running websites – but photography adjacent. Now I get a chance to learn the finer details of lighting, posing and helping people be their best as a photographer’s assistant.
I have lived in Texas since 2001, but I am a Midwesterner through and through and my heart belongs to the Chicago Bears. I love watching the NFL, college basketball and volleyball. Brisket, bluebonnets, Possum Kingdom Lake and the State Fair are just a few of my favorite things about Texas.
In my free time, I exercise, walk dogs, watch TV/movies, travel and try to take images that will place high in the Dallas Camera Club’s monthly contests.

John Michael
Interactive Event Photography
What’s up y’all – I’m John Michael. I get to do the awesome photo booth stuff, or as we like to call it: interactive photography. I love trying new things & pioneering new routes, which makes being in a place where I get to custom design a new experience for each client even more awesome. Planning events and watching them come together, to me, is like a person imagining their very own landscape and then painting it on a canvas. So, the fact that I get to be a part of so many people’s creations is a beautiful thing. If you don’t catch me at your cousin’s wedding, you might find me at UPS, where I work part time in the mornings. If I’m not working, I am probably reading or exercising; or, if it’s the weekend, out exploring with my girlfriend and family.
Glamorous from Sunup to Sundown

We first met Kerstie and a few other ahhhmazing makeup and hair stylists at Marbles. The best blowouts in town, for sure. While we certainly miss our partnership, on the positive side, we at PBMisty have continued using Kerstie's services.
If you book hair and makeup services, which we highly recommend you do, be sure to make plans that night. In addition to feeling glamorous, you'll be walking and acting in a confidence that needs to be shared.
