And it was very good...

Hi there! I’m Don and this is my family.

By day, my world is often about managing risks and navigating complex systems. But when I step behind the camera, my focus shifts to something much more fundamental: witnessing the beauty of what is already there.

Gen1:31 Studios was born out of a simple, timeless truth found in Genesis 1:31 that everything God created — you, me, and the world we live in — "It is very good." For me, photography isn't about creating a "perfect" or over-styled image. It’s about the natural look. It’s the way the Texas sun hits a field in Katy at 6:00 PM. It’s the genuine, unforced laugh of a family. It’s the clarity and brightness that comes when we let the light in.

Whether I’m capturing a quiet, timeless portrait through DA Photographs or bringing a high-energy, studio-quality experience to your local event with Katy Photobooth, my goal is the same:

To show you the masterpiece you already are.

I believe in photos that breathe. I believe in moments that feel like home. And I believe that every story is worth telling in the best possible light.

I can’t wait to meet you and capture something "very good" together.
