Tuskegee Airmen at Lloyd's Studio. We are proud to have had the privilege of photographing one of the most storied military units in American history — the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. Sitting across the lens from a Tuskegee Airman is a reminder of what a portrait is for: not a headshot, a record.

Portraits that document service

Our military portrait sessions are built around ribbons, insignia, and posture. Every uniform is checked, every decoration is placed correctly, and lighting is set to hold detail in dark fabric without blowing out brass. We shoot in the same tradition that produced the formal service portraits families frame for a century.

For veterans, active duty, and families

If you'd like a formal service portrait — for yourself, a parent, or a grandparent — come see us. We treat every session with the care the uniform deserves.
