SERVING YOU IS MY PASSION

I’m Damien, a lifestyle photographer serving clients in the DMV (Washington, D.C. area) and beyond. I love to capture special moments for clients and I strive to leave you with lasting memories that truly capture the essence of YOU.


Portraits aren’t just pictures, they’re heirlooms. My approach is simple: I’ll guide you through the process so you feel confident, relaxed, and truly seen. With close to 15 years of experience behind the camera, I bring both artistry and professionalism to every session.

At Damien Carter Photography, I am introducing A NEW, MORE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

Black and white portrait of a woman with her chin resting on her hand, looking directly at the camera.

After 14 years as a photographer, I’ve reimagined the way I serve clients. This new process is built around more personal connection and creating heirlooms that truly last.

From our first consultation, I’ll walk with you step by step - planning your session, guiding every pose, capturing beautiful images and then (virtually) sitting down with you for a reveal and ordering session. Instead of images living on a hard drive, you’ll leave with artwork you can hold, display, and treasure.
