"Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that's OK. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind."

- Anthony Bourdain, on travel, andโ€”perhapsโ€”on life

About Me

Howdy! My name is Corey Stone, and I am a photographer based out of Bryan-College Station and Houston, Texas with a particular passion for higher education, which is where I spent the first part of my career. I also shoot families, events, and other types of sessions by request!

Outside of photography, I am still very passionate about giving back to my alma mater and students across Texas, particularly those who are first-generation and working class college students who are trailblazers for their families and communities!

I am most engaged and connected through my work and volunteering at Texas A&M University, The University of Texas at Austin, Sam Houston State, The University of Houston, and Baylor University, but Iโ€™m fortunate to have experienced photography and higher education across the state of Texas from corner to corner.

Outside of photography, I am working diligently to finish my Ph.D. through The University of Texas at San Antonio, and with my wife Elizabeth, I manage a first-gen-focused global travel access initiative.
