∼Welcome∼

                              to Fifth World Photography! We believe in “start to finish.” We don’t just shoot images for our clients, then give them digitals and say, “good luck!” We walk them through the entire process, which starts LONG before we even pick up a camera.⁠

WE’RE DESIGNING.

WE’RE GUIDING.

WE’RE ASKING QUESTIONS.

WE’RE BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN OUR CLIENTS.

Because that’s what makes us different. We’re not just photographers. An iPhone can’t replace us. We’re more than the equipment that we shoot with.

WE’RE BRAIN STORMERS.

WE’RE DESIGNERS.

WE’RE ARTISTS.

WE’RE EXPERIENCE CREATORS.

WHAT WE DO IS 

Magic.

Looking for unique and memorable senior pictures? You’ve come to the right place. At Fifth World Photography, we want to make your senior experience one you will remember for years to come. Anything but traditional, our goal is to create one of the most unique photo shoots for your senior year. You know…one that will make your friends jealous.

Don’t settle for fake backdrops or horrible poses right out of the 1980’s. We’ll work with you to create images that are special to you. Our sessions are more like fashion shoots than they are cheesy senior pictures. Think hair, makeup, stylist, wardrobe and one hell of a photographer.

This is your senior year! Let’s create something that will blow people away!

A quinceañera is not just any ordinary birthday—it’s a cherished milestone that marks the beautiful journey of a young lady transitioning into womanhood. This special day is steeped in rich traditions and vibrant celebrations, where family and friends gather to honor her past, present, and future. The quinceañera is a blend of cultural customs and personal touches, making it a unique experience that reflects her personality and dreams. 

From the elegant gown and the symbolic tiara to the heartfelt speeches and the joyous dances, every moment of the quinceañera is worth capturing. Photographs serve as timeless keepsakes that preserve these cherished memories. It’s a day to remember and a journey to treasure.

Let’s ensure every smile, every laugh, and every happy tear is beautifully documented!

Don’t shoot what it looks like. Shoot what it feels like.

Let us help you tell your story with images that you’ll cherish for a lifetime. We have over 30 years of photography and digital darkroom experience, combined with a flair for artistry and a desire to be the best. Our goal is to capture the feeling of your special moments so that you can enjoy and relive them forever.

On his 17th birthday, Ted’s parents gave him a Pentax K1000 35mm camera. That’s back in the days when a flash card was called film. He’s seen many changes over the years, from analog to digital, and not only has he adapted to those changes, he has embraced them.

Ted feels it’s very important to keep up on the technology, styles and trends of today’s photography market. As well as completing his degree in Graphic Design Technology and accumulating over 25 years of experience shooting almost every facet of photography, you’ll find that he’s easy to work with – and some say, he’s even fun.

Michelle is a web designer and photographer and also has a degree in Graphic Design Technology. She specializes in real estate images, using high dynamic range photography to make your home look it’s very best.

Currently learning the skill of woodworking, she has been merging design and craftsmanship to create unique home decor and artwork.
