The Nellie Rose

I believe first impressions lasts and I want to make sure I get to know my clients and understand their needs before every session so I can deliver the best experience. Taking that extra time and care goes a long way in my book. I also treat people the way I want to be treated, with love and compassion. I have dedicated my life to my passions and the only way to do what I love is doing it the right way. I love setting up phone calls to get to know one another, then I carefully list out wants and needs of my client, then communicate a plan from start to beginning, arrive on location early and prep for the day, then lastly organize files and images to work on. I have a quick turn around on my work because I want my clients to have their images right away. I am also an Actress, I understand timing and understand your role is vital. You have to come mentally prepared. Preparation is key to succeed in acting. Understand the industry, you'll have less of a difficult time navigating through the chaos. I always like to start my day off with a positive attitude and end it with the same energy. Communication major for me because from experience if someone or somethings do not communicated, there will always be some sort of problem later or misunderstanding. I try to avoid those at all cost. All duties will always be made clear for a smooth transition into the day. I love what I do and I hope my clients will always remember me that way.

I studied Mass communication in the Philippines. My first love has always been in the entertainment industry. I've always wanted to be on stage performing or acting. That came true when I was offered a job working at our local radio station and I became a host for mardi-gras. After two years of college, I dropped out to move back to the US in 2007. I worked odd jobs to get on my feet. It wasn't until I moved to Texas I started acting, landed a supporting role in the movie Generation me and I played a lead role in Evil for dinner. I also had a full-time job working as a Leasing consultant. We moved to Houston in 2018. I knew I needed to dive back into my creative lifestyle so, I started hosting photographer and modeling events. I was able to coordinate successful events and help people build their portfolios. I got burnt out after 5 months. I decided to open my very first rental venue. I built and designed multiple backdrops and rented them out hourly to the public. I jumped into the business not knowing what I was getting myself into, let's just say the business failed. I knew I needed to keep faith and I didn't want to give up my dream on owning a business. We moved into a historic building downtown Houston in 2020. We had to invest 5 times more but it was worth every penny. We have been operating for 3 years now, with two locations in the same building. In 2024, we were awarded the number one event studio in Houston on Peerspace. I fell in love with photography, model coaching, styling, creative directing, crafts, and real estate. I continue to grow and learn as the business grows and I am enjoying the process, even the early mornings and late nights. I am building a safe space for my community and as well as meaningful relationships. Goal is to be your one stop shop for all of your creative needs.

My only requirements when it comes to doing photography for events. I want to make sure that there will be enough natural light and windows. I bring my lighting when I have a stationary area and doing either headshots or portraits.
