Outer Banks photographers
Established in 2015
We live and work on the OBX. The slow rhythm of island life, sand between our toes, crystal-clear waters, and long dinners with friends — these are the simple joys we cherish.
We're both naturally outgoing and truly enjoy meeting our clients and building genuine connections along the way.
We specialize in relaxed, storytelling-style photography for laid-back families, couples, and groups of friends. Whether you're vacationing in OBX or live here, we’d love to document your memories in a way that feels effortless and real.

Effortless and timeless
We had a family beach session in the Outer Banks with Glenn & Nadya, and it couldn’t have been easier. They were wonderful with our child, kept everything relaxed, and helped us feel comfortable the entire time.
We absolutely love how the photos turned out! We’re so grateful we chose Glenn & Nadya and would happily recommend them to any family looking for Outer Banks photographers.
"Truly fantastic- from start to finish"
From the reviews
Every year during our family trip to Corolla, NC we hire Glenn & Nadya to take our yearly vacation photos. Every year we are amazed at the photos we get back. Some years we'll get Nadya, and then next we'll get Glenn - both are fantastic photographers who bring a relaxed vibe, professionalism, and creativity.
They are a husband & wife power duo, and we highly recommend them if you are looking for an OBX photographer.
"The best photographers on the Outer Banks!"
We had the best experience during our beach session in Duck. From the moment we met them, they instantly made us feel comfortable — nothing felt stiff or overly posed. They gave simple direction when needed but mostly encouraged us to interact naturally, which resulted in photos that feel alive and full of emotion. When we received our gallery, we were blown away. The colors, the movement, the way they captured our kids’ personalities… everything was perfect. They are incredibly talented photographers and genuinely kind people.
"We love working with these two!"
We visited the Outer Banks for a babymoon and decided to book a maternity session at Jockey’s Ridge State Park. We’re so glad we did. They understood how to work with the bright daylight and shifting dunes, and they made the entire experience incredibly comfortable. What stood out most was how they captured both the sweeping landscape and all the intimate little moments between us — the hands on the belly, the laughter, the quiet pauses. The gallery feels so
emotional and timeless.
"The most memorable moments from my entire pregnancy!"
Our sunrise session with Glenn & Nadya in Nags Head was one of the best photography experiences we’ve ever had. They guided us through the soft morning light so beautifully — everything felt calm, unhurried, and incredibly natural.
The beach was quiet and peaceful, and they knew exactly how to use the soft morning light to create photos that feel gentle and timeless.The colors, the movement, the emotion… all of it was captured exactly how we hoped.
