Principal
Douglas MacArthur High School, NEISD

“As the principal of MacArthur, I am consistently impressed by the professionalism and exceptional quality of service provided by Alonso Ramirez, professionally known as AR Shots. Over the years, he has become an integral part of our school community, capturing not just the images, but the spirit of our students and staff. His work is always of the highest standard—whether it's team photos, media day spectaculars or individual portraits —each photo reflects a true sense of pride, joy, and achievement.

What stands out most is the photographer's commitment to making every student feel comfortable and confident, ensuring the process is always positive, efficient, and stress-free. He is punctual, organized, and quick to accommodate any specific needs or requests we may have. He truly understand the importance of these moments and work seamlessly with both students and faculty to deliver exceptional results.

We are grateful for his continued partnership and look forward to many more years of outstanding service. I highly recommend Alonso to any school seeking a reliable, skilled, and dedicated photographer who consistently exceeds expectations.”

“Since the moment I met Alonso, I could tell he had a real passion for his craft. He has always done a great job capturing images of Johnson HS athletics and continues to produce quality work. We are fortunate to have him attend our extracurricular activities for Johnson Athletics, allowing each athlete to have access to memories through high-quality photos/videos. We are proud to have AR as part of our Jaguar family! “

Douglas MacArthur Brahmas H.S.

Athletic Coordinator/Head Football Coach

“I became familiar with ARShots a couple of years ago when he was covering our softball team. As a result of the great work with softball, now several of our sports use Alonso for their media days. His coverage doesn't just stop with media day. He comes to games to take action shots and then will make them available to the athletes and their families. I know he does this for several teams in the area.

The quality of the pictures and his professionalism are second to none. The number of games that he covers is impressive, but when you think about the quick turnaround to get the quality of the product that he has, it's unbelievable. His efficiency and customer satisfaction are a priority.

Alonso is welcome to be a part of our athletic program as long as I am the Athletic Coordinator.”

Brennan High School Head Girls Track & Field/Head Cross Country Coach

"I had the pleasure of working with AR Shots (Alonso Ramirez) for our cross country media/picture day, and couldn't be happier with the results.

Alonso is professional, responsive, and incredibly organized. Communication is clear and media is delivered in a very timely manner.

Alonso is friendly, passionate and outgoing. He has a natural talent for capturing action and the personality of the athletes.

The quality of his photographs are outstanding and he has a deep understanding of the technical aspects of photography, which is evident in the final product.

He’s the real deal!"

Claudia Taylor Johnson Jaguars H.S. Head Softball Coach

AR had me at FRENCHBULLDOG! Our love for the breed got us talking as we were introduced in the fall of 2022. I instantly had a connection with someone who was like me, passionate about doing what he loves. Over the years he has formed a repoire with the athletes that he has captured with his cameras. Our softball program has used AR for media days, head shots, banner pictures, end of year graphics, playoff graphics and we even have had some of our seniors take portraits with him after season. He is professional and courteous. AR will spend as much time that is needed with our athletes. AR spends countless hours taking and editing pictures so that we have his product as soon as possible. AR has also spent time with us during games as well, capturing some pretty amazing core memories! His work is top notch and you can see that when he arrives to set up.AR has also taken the time to get to know our players as well, that means so much to our program, campus and to the coaches. The relationships he is building behind the lense are for a lifetime, including for me.

“Meeting Alonso Ramirez has been a pure blessing for my dance program! Not only does he provide quality work, but he goes above & beyond any expectations set. His professionalism, attention to detail, creativity, & energy are only a few traits that make him & his work stand out. Any time he photographs my dancers, it ends up being one of our favorite days as he captures our strengths & makes the process run smoothly, since he is so easy to collaborate with. If you’re looking for a photographer that is talented, but more importantly, dependable, dynamic, & constantly ready to push the limits….well, Alonso is definitely the one to have on your side!”

Founder/Host, The 50/50 Podcast & INSIDE #TXHSSOC & Head Women’s Soccer Coach, San Antonio MacArthur Brahmas

The greatest ability is availability. That, along with passion and quality content is what immediately comes to mind when I think of ARSHOTS. When I first met Alonso, I immediately could tell I was going to like him. After I arrived at a new school and program, he immediately made himself available to support my program. When I also found out he was an Alum of the school, it truly became a no-brainer. What I discovered on our Media Day was a consummate and passionate professional. Alonso was meticulous and accommodating and truly made the Media Day experience a fun and memorable event for our teams. An advocate for “The Beautiful Game,” I am excited to see a professional of his caliber working to show and tell the stories of Texas High School Soccer (TXHSSOC). As a fellow Retired Veteran, I cannot express enough how proud I am to see the brand Alonso has built and the success he has achieved.  

Co-Founder 2MGE

"On behalf of 2MGE, I want to express our gratitude to Alonso (ARShots Photography) for his outstanding work throughout our football seasons. Alonso not only supported South Texas athletes during regular play but also traveled with Championship7v7 and TruXposur as the primary photographer. His photos were excellent, and the tournament album was spectacular, reflecting his dedication and skill.

Alonso’s versatility stands out—whether it’s portraits, action shots, sponsor images, or custom tournament edits, his artistic style and professional equipment elevate the experience. His work ethic is unmatched, delivering edits within 1-2 days, keeping families engaged. I highly recommend ARShots Photography for any company in need of a talented and reliable photographer. Feel free to contact me for more details."
