About the company

Austin, Texas
Available across Central Texas

We shoot finished landscapes for the contractors who built them.

The Landscape Lens is a boutique photography company for landscape contractors across Austin. For the past ten years we have photographed finished projects for Mario Canales Landscape, and those photos are the standard we bring to every shoot.

When Mario Canales Landscape came to us, the company was already doing well. The work was strong, but you could not tell from the pictures: their website and proposals ran on quick iPhone photos that made high-end projects look ordinary. They were starting to feel something we already understood. At the level of jobs they wanted, aesthetics matter, because clients judge the work by the photos in front of them.

So we started shooting every finished job professionally. Each shoot gave them a portfolio they could put in front of the next prospect, and each portfolio built trust a little faster. Bigger jobs followed, then bigger ones, and the company’s revenue grew with them year after year. After ten years of that, we are opening the same service to other Austin contractors who want a story like it.

Ways to work together

You build it. We shoot it.
It sells the next job.

One-off or every month, the process is the same. You tell us when a project wraps, and we handle the rest.

  1. Step 01

    You book the shoot.

    When a project wraps, pick a day while it still looks its best: plants fresh, surfaces clean, nothing faded or worn in yet. Book a single shoot for one project, or keep us on retainer and we come out three times a month, so every finished job gets its day.

    • Send us the address and your preferred day
    • We confirm a time that fits the property’s best light
    • Site finished and cleaned before we arrive
    • Pool running, furniture in place, vehicles moved
  2. Step 02

    We photograph the project.

    We start with a walk of the whole property to plan the angles, then shoot it the way a client walks it: arrival first, then the main spaces, then the details. Nothing gets skipped. If your crew built it, we photograph it.

    • Arrival view and front of the home
    • Wide views of every space
    • Close-ups of the craft: stone, steel, wood, plantings
    • Several angles of the hero space
  3. Step 03

    You get photos that sell.

    Every shoot delivers 30 professionally edited photos. We balance the color and light across the whole set and straighten every line, so the work looks on screen the way it looked the day you finished it.

    • 30 edited photos from every shoot
    • Best shots flagged for homepage and proposals
    • Ready for website, socials, and bid packets
    • A growing library of your finished work
