About Us

Founded 60 years ago in downtown Portsmouth by Carlton O’Neal, O’Neal’s Studio of Photography has become a Tidewater institution. Serving clients as far north as Maine and as far south as Florida, O’Neal’s is one of the oldest photography studios on the east coast.

Now in Suffolk, Virginia, Allyn and Kris Brown of O’Neal’s are prepared to offer the same standard of quality and service offered by Carlton in 1945. Allyn and Kris have owned O’Neal’s Studio for over 20 years. Allyn received his training from Mr. O’Neal, and continues to offer his clients the traditional portraits created by Carlton 60 years ago, while incorporating modern techniques and up to date technology.

With its lush gardens, beautiful fountains, and a wide variety of settings, the carriage house in Suffolk is the perfect setting for this amazing photography studio. Come visit the garden studio today and become part of the history of this incredible photography studio.
