Our Studio’s
History
Nestled in the heart of downtown McAllen, our studio occupies a landmark rich in cultural heritage. Originally constructed in 1921 as Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School, this building was established to serve the city's Mexican-American community. In 1927, an annex adorned with Aztec-inspired ornamentation was added to accommodate the growing student population. Recognizing its historical significance, the city designated it as a landmark in 2009.
The annex is now home to BD Photography, a space thoughtfully redesigned for comfort, beauty, and purpose. Inside, you’ll find two dedicated shooting rooms, glam suites for hair and makeup, and curated spaces for design, ordering, and creative planning. We’ve blended old and new to create an environment where legacy and storytelling come to life.
