Family Portraits

I’m Mark Darrough, a family portrait photographer in Wilmington, NC. I love to capture authentic, candid moments with a fine art approach founded on years in journalism. I’m as comfortable taking pictures of a young couple, enamored with their newborn child, as I am of mountain gorillas in the Virunga Volcanoes or rebel guerrillas in the Congo. I pride myself on being something more than your average family portrait photographer – someone whose documentary experience has prepared for what the great Henri Cartier-Bresson called the decisive moment, where light, color, gesture, and composition come together for a split moment of time to create a timeless image.

I’m offering ‘mini-sessions’ for the 2020 holiday season to help families end 2020 with smiles. For pricing and booking, please reach out to mark@markdarrough.com or call (970) 413-3815.
