Our history:
Third Coast owner Carrie Robertson gained experience
as a newspaper staff photographer in the 1980s,
shooting every possible subject –
sporting events, fires and wrecks, business portraits, parades
and festivals, fashion, food, pets, schools, etc. Photographing
real-life situations, she learned how to tell a story with a
photograph and how to deliver quality work on deadline.
In the 1990s, obeying a sense of adventure and interest in the outdoors, Carrie
developed the skills to become an eco-tourism guide that took
her to Mexico and Hawaii. While guiding groups, she always carried a camera and began to build a stock portfolio
of images. To showcase her work, she free-lanced for outdoor and travel magazines.
Later, she learned to build and maintain web sites, starting with her own.

Our name:
Carrie Robertson has changed careers, languages and countries in order to experience life from different perspectives. In 2001,
she returned to her home state of Texas, where
she combined her photography and web design skills to start
Third Coast Photo & Web Services.
The coast has been a common thread in Carrie's life. Enchanted
by the ocean's waves, beaches, marine life, birds and seascapes,
she named her business "Third Coast" because of its location -
along the sometimes forgotten third coast of the U.S., the Gulf of Mexico.
The Gulf is the fifth coast Carrie has lived on, following Puget
Sound, the Caribbean, the Sea of Cortez and the
Pacific Ocean. She and her husband live in a cottage overlooking
Corpus Christi Bay and celebrated the birth of their first
child in April 2005.
