Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 1, 2018
“I was referred to Chris by a friend to take professional headshots. He came to my home, was extremely professional, and put me at ease during the photo session. He delivered my photos when promised and then patiently waited for me to review and request any changes. His product did not disappoint.

Lance La Breche Photography
Local Photographers in Durham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 21, 2015
“Lance proposed this great idea. It was brilliantly conceived and extremely well executed. He was early for the shoot and was super respectful of the space. He worked within the time frame he proposed and left the space spotless just as he found it. Communication in planning the shoot was professional and detailed. The end result is that I now have these unbelievably beautiful photos of my store which I will be able to use for a long time. Lance did all his photo correcting in the time frame he said he would and when I asked for additional ones to be done he did that as well in 24 hours. All in all, he is the guy for the job. He was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend Lance La Breche.”

Sterling E. Stevens Design Photo
Local Photographers in Durham
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 21, 2013
“I have had the pleasure, over the years, to work with Sterling E. Stevens in many different capacities. After Graduate studies and North Carolina State University, our paths continued to cross through our friendship and architectural work. We worked together as project managers at Strahan Associates Architects and since then I have seen his growth as a great designer and more importantly as a gifted photographer. He was given the opportunity experiment with his photography career while at Strahan Associates and because of his architectural background, his photographic eye has been enhanced even more. I have been lucky to work with him on his photography shows and events as well as the honor of having him photograph my own studio design work. Seeing his ingenuity in his projects and his diversity of work, one can see that he has the gift for architecture and photography. His photography has taken on its own style and I know that it will continue to develop and enhance the spaces in which they are housed. Any work he has the opportunity to photograph takes on a life of its own. I expect only great things from his work and his continued future.”

If you're thinking of selling or renting your Durham, NC house, hiring a home photographer can make a big difference between making money and just breaking even. Think about when you look at photos of homes online: If the lighting is terrible, the quality is poor and the listing provides very few photos, don't you subconsciously associate these bad qualities with the homeowner or renter? A home photographer helps with those challenges.

What Is a Home Photographer?


A home photographer is trained to make your home look its best. If you are a design professional — an architect, an interior designer or a contractor, for example — consider hiring a photographer to capture your work to enhance your portfolio, and to attract and engage new clients. They understand what buyers and renters are looking for, and they have the equipment and editing skills to fulfill those expectations.

Professional home photographers vary quite widely in the services that they offer. Some photographers include home staging in their rate, some include editing and some want to come prior to the shoot date to set up shots. Others will not offer these services unless asked or will charge an additional rate. Make sure you ask the photographer beforehand what is included in the cost. If he or she does not offer everything you need, you might want to consider reaching out to other professionals to get the best finished product. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of photographers: Home Stagers, Interior Designers & Decorators, Architects & Building Designers, Real Estate Agents.

Before you call any potential photographers, make sure they have good references. Friends who've sold or rented homes before are great resources, as are local real estate agents. Look through each North Carolina photographer's online portfolio to make sure what you're looking for is being offered. Once you've done that, it's a good idea to walk around your home and write down exactly how many and what types of shots you'll need. Include any specifications you might have, such as angles, things to consider about your home’s Durham, NC site, the time of day you think will be best and aspects of your home you want to highlight.

Questions to ask a home photographer:


  • Is photo editing included in your rate?
  • How long will it take for you to provide the photos?
  • Do you do home staging?
  • What happens if I don't like the first round of photos?
  • Do you offer consultations prior to the shoot?
