Owen took some birthday photos for me for my 25th birthday (extra I know but I wanted to do something fun and for me). I couldn't be happier with the results. I brought balloons and cake and Owen went with the flow and helped my vision come to life.

Owen was incredible!. At first, I was worried because he did not have that many head shots but when he came, he had his camera, a white screen and was ready to go. I am so appreciative that I found Owen. He did an amazing job with my head shots and got them super fast back to me. Edited within a day. The head shots were amazing and he is a great photographer. I highly recommend Owen to take photos of you if you’re applying for residency or just in general.

I had a really good experience with Owen McCullum and am very happy with how all the photos turned out. I was looking for a photographer in the area who could take some professional shots of me and my dog. I picked Owen because he was reasonably priced and liked some of his work. When I first met him, he was very professional and flexible as he was working with me and my dog. Who can sometimes be a pain with pictures. At the end, although we had originally agreed on a price. I explained to him that I was a college student and part time worker. I do not make a whole lot of money and my car was almost empty on gas and needed to fill up. He let me keep part of the money so I could get gas on my way home and me and my dog returned home safely. I was so thankful and blessed we had a great photo shoot and made it home okay. I highly recommend Owen McCullum Photography if you are looking for a photographer who is reasonably priced, professional, flexible, and on a tight budget being a student or worker. Here are how some of the shots turned out.

My husband and I hired Owen to take our holiday portrait photos around the National Mall area. He responded promptly to our request and offered an immediate turnaround which worked well with our work schedules. During the shoot, Owen was polite, professional, and accommodating to our requests despite having picked a very cold day to do our shoot. The most impressing part of our experience, aside from the final photographs which speak for themselves when it comes to the quality of his work; he shared the finished product within 48 hours! I've worked with a number of other professional & semi-professional photographers in the past, but this was the quickest turnaround for receiving photographs I've experienced. Owen was a pleasure to work with & we have already shared his contact info with our friends who were very impressed with the quality of his work. Who knows,..perhaps we'll hit him up again next year for more holiday pics :D

Working with Owen was great. I had a project in DC, but was unable to travel there. Owen worked with me on logistics, my vision, and documentation of the site. The images were perfect for what I was looking for and I'd hire him again in the future.

Great service... Owen went above and beyond to provide my Mom her 85th birthday gift.

I had to book his service at the last minute, but he was very professional and arrived on time. The location I originally wanted wasn’t in season, but he worked with me to find a beautiful new spot.

When choosing a photographer, of course you want incredible photos, but there’s so much more that matters before the final shot is even taken. Things like punctuality, professionalism, patience, and genuine passion for the craft make all the difference. Owen brought all of that and more. I didn’t fully realize how essential those qualities were until I experienced them firsthand. And the best part? I ended up with photos I absolutely love, something I rarely say as someone who’s usually camera-shy! Book Owen for all your photo needs and you will be happy you did!
