About Me

About Rodney Hames - Headshot & Portrait Photographer in Riverdale Park, MD

Photographer. Guide. Confidence-Builder. 

Hi, I’m Rodney - a Headshot and Portrait Photographer based in Riverdale Park, Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC. It’s great to meet you. 

Originally from Philadelphia (yes, I’m still proudly representing the Eagles), I moved to the DMV in 1998 and quickly fell in love with the community and the people here. Over the years, I’ve refined my craft, developed my style, and discovered what truly motivates me as a photographer:
helping people see themselves with confidence.

I specialize in headshots, portraits, and personal branding sessions - working with professionals, creatives, business owners, and anyone who wants to show up more authentically online. Most of my clients walk in feeling a little nervous or unsure about being in front of a camera… and that’s exactly where I come in.

Most of my clients come to me because they want headshots or branding photos that feel natural, approachable, and aligned with their professional goals. Whether we’re working in my Riverdale Park home studio or doing a headshot session on location, I guide you through posing, expression, and lighting so you look confident and genuine, not stiff or overly posed.

I work with individuals who need:

• Professional headshots for LinkedIn, company websites, or business profiles
  
  

• Personal branding photography for marketing, social media, and online visibility
  
  

• Portraits that feel timeless and expressive
  
  

• Medical Residency Headshots that meet ERAS requirements
  
  

No matter your background or experience, you can expect a relaxed, supportive session designed to bring out the best version of yourself. With years of experience and a client-first approach, my goal is to create images that not only look great — but also help move your career or business forward.

If you’re searching for a Washington DC Headshot Photographer who values authenticity, connection, and confidence, I’d love to work with you.
Let’s create images that represent you at your best.
