Eyecatch Design Services' founder Doug Layton has over thirty years of photography experience and a degree in photojournalism from the University of Texas at Austin. For fifteen years Doug worked as a photojournalist in North Dallas, enjoying extraordinary success and receiving numerous awards for his work and advancements in his field. After leaving the newspaper industry, Doug became Art Director at Cinemark USA, Inc., one of the largest theater chains in the world, where he polished his artistic and creative skills while working to master his craft.

Striving for “pain-free photography,” Eyecatch Design Services maintains flexibility and will work with whatever situation is encountered. They blend into the woodwork to capture the little things that make the event more memorable. They are also willing to step in to entertain fussy children, hold babies, sew on missing buttons, or do whatever is necessary to make the wedding day perfect.

Instead of coercing unnatural smiles in a stuffy studio, Doug and Susan prefer to work in more comfortable, relaxed settings, coaching their subjects to achieve the perfect shot while still being natural. They believe that every photograph should represent a person’s unique personality and tell a story, even when the picture is posed. This is, in essence, Doug’s philosophy. He combines his roots as a photojournalist with his experience in family photography to achieve a unique style, making every picture a treasured memory and an artistic masterpiece.

"I have been meaning to write you since we showed my mother the album. She cried. Mission accomplished. Thank you." ~ Maritza

"I love, love, love these shots! How am I ever going to choose? I keep going through them over, and over, amazed that you so perfectly captured every aspect of Brennan's personality. Thank you for helping to preserve this fleeting time in our son's life. It means so, so much."
