about me

hey there, I'm Bethany Speed!!

I'm a local Tulsan photographer. I graduated from Oral Roberts University with a BFA in Art Education and am currently studying for my MFA at Savannah College of Art and Design... which simply means I'm a full time professional artist and high school teacher when I'm not behind the camera.

I am a high energy creative with a passion for the arts. I love people, and I love to make sure people get the chance to love themselves.


who I am as your photographer:

You will find me organized, quick to communicate, and ready to lend a hand.

My photo style is natural, classic, and airy.  From the moment you send in an inquiry to when I send you your photo album, It's my goal to make you comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

For big events, my husband Chase co-shoots with me. He's often even more involved than I am in making sure everything goes perfectly behind the scenes and cheering us all on. (hooray for a built-in second shooter!)

when I'm not behind the camera:

I'm an art teacher, outdoorsy, cat loving, fresh-water tropical fish-keeping girl. I'm happily married to my high school sweetheart and forever swing dance partner.

When I'm not in teaching in my classroom, I'm oil painting, reading, fishing, kayaking, camping, or exploring the world around me. The outdoors are my happy-place.

I adore animals! The Tulsa Zoo and Oklahoma Aquarium are my favorite places to unwind, and I absolutely adore my cats (aka edit buddies) and multiple freshwater aquariums.
