Photography Rooted in the Heart of Tucson
Living and working in Tucson means we understand the unique landscapes, culture, and people of Southern Arizona. From the golden light of Sonoran Desert at sunset to the bold, clean lines of the city’s modern business centers, Tucson is full of inspiration—and we know how to make the most of it.
Bob Hitchcock, the creative force behind Design Photography, has spent years perfecting his craft across a wide variety of photographic services. His signature style blends artistic vision with technical precision, capturing not just how people look — but how they feel, and what matters most to them in the moment.
Family Portraits That Last a Lifetime
There’s nothing quite like a family portrait to mark a season of life. Whether it’s a new baby, a growing teenager, or a rare opportunity to gather three or more generations together, we believe family portraits should reflect the connection and love that holds you all together.
As a business and family portrait photographer in Tucson, AZ, we take the time to get to know you. That means working around busy family schedules, choosing the perfect location (whether in-studio or outdoors), and making sure everyone — from toddlers to grandparents — feels comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Pets are part of the family too, and we happily include them in portrait sessions whenever possible.
Professional Business & Commercial Photography
If you’re a business owner, executive, or entrepreneur, you already know that professional imagery speaks volumes. First impressions matter — and the right photograph can give your brand the trust, polish, and professionalism it deserves. We offer a full range of business and commercial photography services, including:
- Professional headshots
- Staff portraits
- Product and advertising photography
- Location and branding images
Whether you’re updating your website, building a brochure, or preparing for a trade show, our team works with you to create the visuals that will elevate your brand. And because we’re local to Tucson, we understand what resonates in this region — from industry tone to aesthetic preferences.
Senior Portraits
Senior year is a major milestone, and your portraits should be just as memorable. We offer custom senior portrait sessions designed to reflect each graduate’s unique personality, interests, and accomplishments. Forget the standard cookie-cutter school photos — our sessions include multiple outfit changes, creative locations, and a personalized approach that captures who they truly are.
Restoration of Old Photos
We know how important old photos are. They carry stories, preserve faces, and offer a tangible connection to those we’ve lost. That’s why we offer professional photo restoration services right here in Tucson. From faded and cracked images to water damage or torn prints, we can help bring your photographs back to life. Whether you want to preserve family history or create a special gift, this service is a way to honor the past while ensuring its place in your future.
Passport & Visa Photos
We understand the urgency and precision required for passport and visa photos, especially when dealing with international requirements. At Design Photography, we offer quick-turnaround, regulation-specific passport photos for a wide range of countries, including Canada, the UK, the EU, Australia, and more. You’ll walk out with properly sized, professional images — no guesswork or frustrating retakes at a drugstore counter.
