Studio portrait session by Killeen photographer Michael Anthony at My Canvas Portraits.

I’m Michael Anthony, the photographer behind My Canvas Portraits, serving Killeen, Temple, Belton, Harker Heights, Austin, and San Antonio.

And I genuinely give a dam about my clients and what their photos say to the world.

This all started back in 2009 inside a Walmart portrait studio.

A mom saw her photos and told me it had been years since she felt beautiful.

That moment changed everything for me.

It showed me that portrait photography isn’t just about pictures
it can change how you see yourself.

That’s why I shoot the way I do at My Canvas Portraits:

I pose with you
I guide you the whole time
I show previews as we go
I delete anything you don’t love
I keep the whole session fun, calm, and real

This is confidence.
This is connection.
This is legacy.
This is My Canvas Portraits.

"What Clients Say About
My Canvas Portraits"

Outdoor portrait of a confident woman wearing a pink blazer and black hat, smiling naturally against a bright sky backdrop. Clean lighting and relaxed posing highlight her personality and style. Studio portrait session by Killeen photographer Michael Anthony at My Canvas Portraits.

I absolutely LOVE and HIGHLY recommend My Canvas Portraits!!! I was stressing when looking for a local makeup artist, but I’m so glad I found this studio because Michael informed me that he has a makeup artist there at the studio. My stress immediately went away! Jessica did such an amazing job on my makeup as well as touching up my hair and helping me pick out accessories. They took their time and I never felt rushed like I was just another number in line. Their aim was to ensure I felt comfortable and beautiful while being pleased with the results. Mission accomplished!!! I also appreciated their honesty because you could tell that they genuinely cared about me having a successful photo shoot. I’m definitely going back for family photos next!

The service was amazing. They made sure we were comfortable, they made us feel very welcome. They were very professional and are great at what they do. Me and my wife were very pleased with the pictures that we took and we will definitely be going back to do more work with them. They also do make up for the ladies so they will have you looking amazing before your shoot..
