Third Coast Photo & Web is owned by photojournalist and web master Carrie Robertson. Headquartered on the south Texas coast in Corpus Christi, the company provides services nationwide.

Our Name:
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 US – the Gulf of Mexico.
The Gulf is the fifth coast Carrie has lived on, following Puget Sound, the Caribbean Sea, the Sea of Cortez and the Pacific Ocean. She and her husband now live in a cottage on North Beach overlooking Corpus Christi Bay with their three-year-old son Kai.

Our Services:

Photography – We create effective, telling images of all subject matter, shooting with state-of-the art camera equipment in either a digital or 35mm film format. We can also transfer your film images to digital.

Web Design – We work to develop and maintain effective, graphic web sites for businesses and individuals.

Our History:
Third Coast owner Carrie Robertson earned a degree in Photojournalism at the University of Texas in Austin. She gained experience as a newspaper staff photographer in the 1980s, shooting every possible subject – sporting events, hard news, business portraits, events, 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, Carrie became an eco-tourism guide that took her to Mexico and Hawaii. While guiding groups, she 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.
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.
