Portrait Photography Sessions

One of the things I love about photography is the chance to meet people and learn about their lives. I’d love the opportunity to make your portrait.

I have limited availability for portrait photography sessions. Working on location, in and around Durham, you will receive the same level of care and attention to detail, personality, and charisma I bring to my documentary and fine art subjects.

Rates start at $150 for a basic portrait session. All portrait sessions include an online proof gallery and at least one edited digital download for personal use. Additional prints, albums, and services are available upon request.
