About Ben Quintanilla


Here’s my story… the most important thing in my life has been my relationship with Jesus Christ. It’s been seven wonderful years following Him. About three years ago I was challenged to leave my life in Orlando, FL to move to the Big D (Dallas). At first, I wasn’t sure why the Lord compelled me to move here. I was quite comfortable where I was. I had a great career as graphic designer and loved my surroundings. But I could not deny all the dreams I kept having about moving to the midwest. So my wife and I packed it all up and moved out here. Little did I know then, that another move was about to take place. I started becoming very interested in photography and capturing unique images. I immersed myself with any information I could find to train my new-born talent.

As I continued to develop my talent, I also landed my first Texas job as a graphic designer for wedding albums. I designed wedding album layouts for top-name photographers around the nation. It was an amazing experience. I got to see awesome wedding photography and how to capture those special moments. I knew in my heart that capturing those moments, whether at a wedding or at a portrait session was my calling. Dallas has a huge photography industry and in my opinion the best photographers in the nation, I wondered what would make me stand out from the crowd. I felt comforted and encouraged by God yet again when He said, you have Me. Obey Me and see what I will do in your life. Great things have been happening ever since.
