Portraits Are My Passion

Portraits for families, couples, expectant mothers, and individuals

At M Carter Photography, we create professional portraits that feel personal, natural, and timeless. We offer a variety of sessions including maternity, family, couple, beach, and Black Label portraits.

Every portrait session takes place on location—at your home, outdoors, or anywhere that’s meaningful to you. We bring everything needed for a studio-quality experience, including lighting, backdrops, and expert guidance, so you can enjoy professional results without ever leaving your space.

A portrait is more than just a picture. It captures a memory, tells a story, and becomes something you’ll treasure for years. That’s why we take the time to get it right.

Enjoy a hassle-free portrait session tailored to your needs. We bring the studio experience to your location, providing a seamless and professional service.

The Process

Consultation Call:

We start with a consultation call to understand your vision. We’ll talk about the style of portraits you want, your wardrobe, and where the portraits will be displayed—whether for wall art or sharing with family. If you need help, I can guide you on the best size and placement for your portraits.

By the end of our call, we’ll schedule your session and make sure you’re prepared. A deposit is required to hold your spot.

The Portrait Session:

 On the day of your session, I’ll arrive 30 minutes early to set up lighting and backgrounds. Before we start, we’ll review your wardrobe choices to make sure everything fits your vision. We can do multiple wardrobe changes and looks during the session, giving you a variety of options.

I’ll make sure the session is calm and enjoyable, so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Image Review and Selection:

After the session, we’ll review the images together. You’ll see your portraits and pick your favorites. We’ll also talk about your options for prints, wall art, and albums.

Portrait Artwork Production and Delivery:

 Once you’ve made your selections, I’ll oversee the production process to ensure everything is perfect. We use archival-quality materials, so your portraits will last a lifetime. Your finished portraits will be delivered directly to your home, ready to display.
