I’m Ben Nelson, a photographer in Springfield, Missouri. I shoot on-location portrait sessions — senior pictures, headshots, families, couples, maternity, and more — at fair prices.
I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos over the years, constantly refining my craft across portraits, headshots, senior pictures, and photo restoration.
There’s no studio to visit — sessions happen on location, whether that’s your favorite outdoor spot, your home, or one of the many great locations around Springfield and the surrounding area. Most sessions are done on evenings and weekends.
Call 417-860-6703 or email info@bennelsonpics.com to book your session. I provide affordable, quality photography across the Springfield, Missouri area — including Nixa, Ozark, Battlefield, Republic, Rogersville, Strafford, Marshfield, Fair Grove, Conway, Ash Grove, Buffalo, Lebanon, Branson, Forsyth, West Plains, Gainesville, Highlandville, Ava, Seymour, Greenfield, Miller, Morrisville, Aldrich, Bolivar, Stockton, Carthage, Webb City, Marionville, Purdy, and Butterfield — and I’ll travel within a 1–2 hour drive for a small gas fee.
Photography captures fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime moments — a gorgeous sunset, a first date, a family vacation. It gives us a permanent memory of so many wonderful times in our lives.
I love how a photo can make you laugh or smile — whether it’s a funny shot of friends or a special family moment. Without photography, those moments would be lost.
Looking at old family photos is like a time machine, taking you back to special moments you’d otherwise forget. It reminds you how fast life passes and to enjoy every moment.
Nothing makes me happier than a client who loves their photo. Knowing my work hangs on their wall — and may one day be treasured by their grandkids — is incredibly rewarding.
