Hi, I’m chad, I’m a portrait and wedding photographer, a husband and a father of three (ages 10, 7, 5; boy, boy, girl). Photography has always been around me, from playing with my dad’s Polaroid land camera as a kid, to photo and art courses in high school and college, up to buying (with my own actual money) my first 35mm film camera in 1990, a Vivitar v2000, which I still have and use occasionally. I purchased this first camera at the military exchange while stationed in Washington, D.C. Yep, as a young lad, I served in the Navy. Fast forward a bit to college graduation and realizing you can’t do much with a degree in U.S. History. So with that knowledge I tagged along with my wife to New Orleans where she was completing her internship. In 2001, NOLA was a visual dream. The French Corridor, Mardi Gras, the people, hidden streets and detailed architecture oozing history and composition. After the NOLA we came back to DFW.

Long story short, I created Chad Farnum Photography, I shoot portraits and weddings. I shoot both film and digital, depending on the situation and preferences. When I do shoot film, nothing changes for you, as all images are ultimately rendered in digital form.

While shooting weddings and portraits, it is my ultimate goal to tell your story. For weddings I like to show up early and shoot the day in a photojournalistic fashion with an eye for detail and those irreplaceable moments.

I approach portraits in one of two ways. This goes for family, maternity, kids, high school seniors, whatever. The first (after consultations), we meet at a chosen location and walk, talk and shoot for an hour or so. The second (my fav), I meet you on your home turf. I come to your home and shoot you and/or your family at home being yourselves. And then we go off outside and shoot a bit more. There is a third way, multi hour shoot tagged with a higher premium, great for birth stories, family reunions or conceptual shoots. Either way, I promise you’ll have fun and be totally jazzed at the imagery we produce together.

I would be honored to help tell your story for immediate and future generations to share. Let’s talk. Thank you.
