Todd Hale, owner/photographer, specializes in beach portraits. Sessions are fun and relaxed, and last about an hour. Beach portraits are tailored to your needs and include photos of the whole group, separate families and groupings, individuals, and candids. Color and black and white photos are edited and retouched, and then posted in a private online gallery for viewing and ordering. From Carova to Ocracoke, Todd comes to you or the location of your choice.
On location senior portrait sessions last about an hour and can include outfit changes. Posed and candid photos in color and black and white. Includes download of full set of high resolution, retouched photos.

I moved to the Outer Banks in 1996 after graduating from art school at Virginia Commonwealth University. After working as a picture framer and film developer, I began taking family portraits (with film!). A few years later I collaborated with a partner to create the first website and online viewing gallery for portraits on the Outer Banks. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to meet and work with so many people through the years in such a beautiful place.
My wife and son and I now divide our year between the Outer Banks and Richmond Virginia, where I own and operate Antennae, a working art studio and gallery.
