Today we’re excited to be connecting with Teddy Love again. If you haven’t already, we suggest you check out our prior conversation with them here.
Teddy, we are so thrilled to be connecting again and can’t wait to hear about all the amazing things you have been up to. Before we jump into all of that, some of our readers might have missed our prior interview, so can you take a moment to reintroduce yourself?
I would like to send a special thanks out to Voyage for having me for almost a 3rd-4th time. Thanks for giving us, the creators and artists, a spotlight. Well, let me reintroduce myself for the first-time readers. I’m Demetrius Hines, aka Teddy Love, and I’m a Houston-based photographer and creative director. I’ve been in photography for a little over 8 years, and I started TeddyLovesVisuals in 2021. It has been a lot of ups and downs, but for the most part, I love it. I try to set myself apart from other photographers by getting to know my client on a personal level and adding my own style to what they’re looking for. I think the best highlight of being a photographer is having the clients eyes light up when they see the pictures.
Great, so let’s jump into an update on what you have been up to since we last spoke. What can you share with us?
I’m excited for this year because 2024 was a slow year, and I wasn’t really focused on my photography as much, but 2025 is a brand new year, and I’ve already hit the ground running on new projects and collabs that are in the works. I don’t want to jump the gun, but you’ll be seeing a lot of me this year.
We also want to give folks a chance to get to know you a bit better so we’ve prepared a fun lightning round of questions. Ready?
