What an absolute privilege to photograph the Maryland Symphony Orchestra’s Symphony Ball, watching hundreds of people come together to celebrate and support live music in our community was nothing short of inspiring. The amount of heart, planning, and elegance that the entire team poured into this event is mind-blowing! Check out some of my work below 📸

We hit 200 followers! Since starting this journey in March as a side hustle, I’ve been blown away by the support and opportunities. Starting a photography business has become one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I’m so grateful you’re here with me. Here’s to the next chapter—let’s see where this road takes us!

What started as a fall portrait session turned into a surprise engagement for Chad & Matt. The foliage was showing off, and so was their love. Huge congrats guys!

As the leaves turn vibrant hues and start to fall at Fort Frederick, one of Maryland State Parks, we're reminded of nature's wisdom. Fall invites us to let go of what no longer serves us, just as trees shed their leaves to prepare for winter. Embrace this season of change, release old burdens, welcome fresh beginnings, and find beauty in the transformation all around us.

Had a great time at the Lockhouse Studios October Creative Connect. Photo cred to Jason on this one, cool right? He used the camera pointed at 3 mirrors to pull this off. Got to chat with a number of other creatives doing cool stuff. Such an awesome community. If you're into creative stuff, check out the next one in December! 📷

Hey, I'm Justin - usually the guy behind the camera. The foliage is near peak so I figured a great time to grab the tripod, hit the woods and take some shots of yours truly. If you're looking to do some portraits, hit me up before the leaves are gone. In the meantime, enjoy me modeling 😎

My Website Refresh Is Live!

I’ve been hard at work making https://justinartz.com/ smoother, fresher, and easier to use, and I’m pumped to announce it’s live! Running a small business means wearing many hats, sometimes even playing technologist (luckily, my day job gives me a head start). I’ve been teaching myself WordPress since launching the site on a cloud server a while back 👨‍💻

With this update, you’ll find:
-A new photo gallery plugin that makes photos pop with smooth scrolling. Before I just had static images that didn't allow scrolling.
-A brand-new services page to showcase what I do, plus fresh images everywhere to bring my work to life.
-A new contact form that’s easy to use (and now sends me emails when you reach out). Plus a Cloudflare CAPTCHA API to keep spam at bay, so I can focus on connecting with you.

Photography’s my passion, but I also love solving problems to make things run smooth. Swing by https://justinartz.com/ to check out the refresh and let me know what you think!

Honored to see my photos featured in the Herald Mail article today! ☺️ Capturing the spooky fun and lively vibes at Rose Hill Cemetery was a blast. Onward and upward my friends! 👻📷
