You don't need to change a single thing before you walk through my door.

I'm Jo — a little vintage, a little bold, and completely convinced that the best version of you already exists. I just need a camera and the right light to prove it.

My studio is tucked inside the historic Fort Worth Stockyards — which pretty much tells you everything about the kind of work I do. Unexpected. A little gritty. Completely unforgettable.

I photograph people at the moments that matter most, and every single one of them leaves as a friend.

That's not a marketing line. It's just how I'm wired.

You found me!!!

That's usually not an accident.

Our Studio Space

Some spaces make you stand up straighter the moment you walk in. The Velvet Noir Studio is one of them. Dark walls. Rich metals. Light that does exactly what it should.

Tucked inside the historic Fort Worth Stockyards, it's moody, intimate, and built for one thing — making you look and feel incredible. It's not just a backdrop. It's an experience.

Be sure you stay informed!
