WHERE GRIT AND STRATEGY COLLIDE

Ill Image was founded by me, a former military journalist turned full-time creative, to bridge the gap in photography and videography for dynamic, on-the-go organizations. After serving in the U.S. Army National Guard as a Public Affairs Specialist, I honed my skills in journalism, photography, videography, and strategic communications.

With extensive experience in marketing, I and my teams bring a strong background in that blends creative and strategic expertise, ensuring that every image and video we create aligns with broader organizational goals.

Ill Image specializes in capturing moments for those who operate outside the traditional studio mold. Whether for first responders, mobile operations, or organizations in need of more than a snapshot, we tell stories that highlight purpose, context, and passion.

100% VETERAN OWNED

Ill Image is proud to be 100% Veteran Owned, bringing a disciplined and mission-focused approach to every project. We apply the same strategic thinking and commitment to every aspect of our work.

HISTORICALLY UNDERUTILIZED BUSINESS

As a Hispanic and service-disabled veteran, I’m certified as a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) in Texas. This designation recognizes businesses like mine, owned by individuals from historically underrepresented groups, and opens doors to state contracting opportunities, promoting inclusion in public projects.
