Palermo Photography is located in Bryan, TX but travel free of charge to the Beaumont and Houston area.
Palermo Photography is comprised of husband and wife, Matt and Larra Palermo. Larra began a photography and design business, LP Designz, in 2007 after getting her feet wet shooting weddings with a friend and fellow photographer. In the beginning, the main business was families, seniors and a couple of weddings. On top of that, Larra focused a lot on graphic design services as well. Over the next couple of years, the wedding business really started picking up and Matt jumped on board as her talented assistant. Finally, the couple decided that weddings were what they loved and were most passionate about shooting. And so Palermo Photography was born.
Larra graduated from Texas A&M University in 2006 with a degree in journalism. Some things more important in her life than photography are her relationship with Jesus Christ, her husband Matt, and 2 sons, Brody and Carson. During the day she is at home taking care of the two tots, the house and of course working on editing and filling orders. Being able to shoot weddings on weekends while still being able to stay home with the kids has been a huge blessing. It allows her to put Christ and her family first while still having a creative outlet that she is passionate about. And having Matt alongside her makes it even better!
Matt graduated from Texas A&M University in 2007 with a degree in economics. His real, full-time job is being Vice-President of his father’s taxidermy company. Having a job that requires so much creativity and attention to detail made him a natural when a camera was put in his hand. (We’ll try to get some more info out of Matt for his bio.)
They also have another assistant, Leigh Ann, who shoots alongside Larra when Matt is unavailable. Her last name just so happens to be Palermo too. (She’s the sis-in-law). Leigh Ann lives in Houston with her husband, Brent, (Matt’s brother) and their son Cole. She is super talented and knows exactly what Larra is looking for when it comes to a second shooter.
Palermo Photography operates part-time ,which means we do not run a full-time studio open 8-5, M-F. Instead, I (Larra) am available during the day to answer phone calls and email, as well as set up appointments to meet with potential clients. Since I have a home office, I love to schedule appointments at a coffee shop where we can grab some joe and chat about photography in a comfy environment.
