About Me

Dee Zunker | A little more personal

The theme of my life story is making an impact at every single thing that I do. I also have an overwhelming sense of purpose to share my talents with others. Commercial and Architectural photography allows me to create compelling, interesting imagery to help people make an impact in their business and branding. I am fulfilled knowing I helped make this happen. 

Photography feeds my geeky and creative sides. The greatest part of my work is that I am able to use my left and right brain together to capture images that are above and beyond client expectations. I have always had a strong technical side balanced with a need to be creative and draw outside the lines. Photography allows me to use my skills of project management, technical expertise, on-site troubleshooting, and creative freedom to produce awesome imagery. I love the lines, angles, light, shadows, and being able to see how everything fits together.

It’s hard to believe, but I started by earning a BS in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M, while playing on a golf scholarship. I later earned an MBA in Finance from the University of Houston. I worked in corporate America for over 25 years in Oil and Gas, with multiple companies, including Mobil Oil, ARCO Chemical, Air Liquide, and Enterprise Products.

I chased my passion to be a professional photographer as a side hustle for a few years, then made the permanent move to full time architectural and commercial photography in 2017. My prior focus in operations, project management, business development, and business management all transferred well to operating my photography business and propelled me forward. 

But it’s not just me…  I have been married for over 30 years and have 3 children (23, 19, and 16). We also have 2 dogs, 1 rabbit, and 4 guinea pigs! I grew up in Amarillo, TX, but have lived in the Houston area since I married by sweetheart. I am blessed to have had awesome, driven parents whose grit and humor rubbed off on me. I enjoy visiting my sister and her family especially when my work takes me to Dallas. My favorite color is red, I love hard rock music, I build our family’s computers, and I love trying to figuring out how to do new things in my spare time. Ohhh, how I love the age of the internet!

I look forward to meeting you and creating images that capture your essence or project while conveying your message to your audience. I love what I do, and want to make the experience special for you too!
