Alabama-based studio with a focus on experience

Welcome to Corey McDonald Portrait Artist.

We are a passionate studio focused on the high school senior, family, and children experience. We are based in Monroeville, Alabama, with traveling options as far away as Spokane, Washington and Colorado Springs, Colorado.

We have over a decade of experience making memories and capturing the special moments, from timeless and classic portraits to creative art featuring sports and digital painting.

You'll enjoy a relaxed environment, easy-going and fun, which will allow everyone to be at ease and feel at home.

Our goal is to boost your confidence and make you feel a part of our family.

"Since 2014, my focus has been simple: quality, respect, and creating experiences where people feel comfortable, seen, and valued. This work isn’t about photos alone, it’s also about heart, confidence, and helping people see themselves differently."

-Corey McDonald, Owner/Photographer

Experience the Difference

What makes our studio Different?

 

Corey believes your portraits should feel like art, not a transaction. He works closely with each client to make portraits and portrait art that feel honest, confident, and timeless.

 

His work has been recognized on the national level and on the world stage.

 

Yet it always comes back to making sure that you feel seen, guided, and proud of what you receive here.

 

We are a full-service studio, so we place great value in tangible printed portraits, like Wall Portraits, Custom-Designed Albums, and Gift Prints.

WOW! Corey came all the way to Colorado to photograph my family.

The day of the session, it was pouring rain, but we made the best of it and Corey got the best photos we have ever had taken. Corey went above and beyond what we even expected and knew could come from the day. My kids loved him, and encouraged me to make sure he comes back for senior photos next year. Thank you Corey for an amazing experience. Hope you will come back to CO again!
