Furqan Saleemi Photography

Hello there! I’m Furqan, and I’m your Katy portrait photographer :). Despite working as an engineer in the Gas & Oil sector for the past 15 years (quite a common path for many desi folks hehehe), my love affair with the camera has spanned over two decades. Even on my honeymoon, I found myself engrossed in capturing moments, editing photos, and eagerly sharing them with our families—though I still facing the consequences of that blunder every now and then! It was during those times that I realized my genuine enjoyment of photography and the desire to showcase it. My wife has always been encouraging, urging me to take my passion to the next level. Now, with my kids in school and life settling into a more routine pace, I’ve decided to take the plunge. I’m finally immersing myself in what I love, and it’s incredibly fulfilling. Nature and portraits are my forte, and combining the two creates a visual dynamism that I find irresistible. Even as I maintain a full-time position in my regular engineering job, I specialize in crafting portraits that narrate a story, using nature as a prop to elevate each image. Carving out time from your hectic schedule and investing effort in preparing for a photoshoot isn’t a simple feat. I aim to make this process as seamless as possible for you, though I apologize in advance for my OCD tendencies. I seek clients who share my enthusiasm for being photographed and who appreciate the entire process, not just the final outcome. My goal is to craft extraordinary images for you to treasure and for me to showcase. I want both you and I to take pride in the collaborative work we’ve accomplished together. The rest of my story is pretty standard (and sometimes standard isn’t a bad thing, right?). I relocated from Lahore, Pakistan to California in 2006 for my higher education, got married in 2013, and now have two adorable (at least, I think so) kids—a 7-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. Currently, I reside in Richmond, Texas. I promise my clients will get the following at minimum, - Focus on capturing genuine emotions and unique moments - Create a relaxed atmosphere for authentic, candid shots - Strong attention to detail and understanding of light and composition - Each image tells a story - Tailor each session to reflect clients' personalities and vision - Deliver high-quality images that clients will cherish for years
