WELCOME TO STEPHEN DEY SIGNATURE PORTRAITS

Stephen Dey Signature Portraits: Charlotte’s Premier Luxury Portrait Studio

For 37 years, Stephen Dey Signature Portraits has been Charlotte’s premier destination for luxury family portraits and high school senior photography. Our passion lies in creating timeless, heirloom-quality portraits that capture the essence of each family and individual.

Our signature Masterpiece Portraits are displayed as breathtaking wall art, available in Artist Wraps, Masterpiece Canvas, Metal, Acrylic, and Gallery Portraits—each designed to be a stunning focal point in your home.

The Art of Organic Photography

At the heart of Stephen Dey Signature Portraits is what we call “Organics”—a unique, flowing approach to portrait photography that Stephen pioneered over 30 years ago. This method embraces the natural environment, lighting, mood, and composition to authentically capture the true essence of your family or senior.

Stephen’s Masterpiece Portraits are prominently displayed in premier homes across Charlotte, Matthews, Pineville, Mint Hill, Matthews, Huntersville, Gastonia, Concord, Lake Norman, and Lake Wylie. While his work spans the country, he focuses primarily on North and South Carolina, where he has built a legacy of excellence.

Timeless Portraits for Every Season & Occasion

Masterpiece Portraits are created year-round, ensuring every season provides the perfect backdrop:

Fall: Vibrant autumn leaves for warm, rich portraits
Winter: Magical lighting in the studio, great time for B&W studies
Spring: Bright, colorful blooms for fresh and lively portraits
Summer: Beach and lake portraits that embrace the beauty of the outdoors
Holidays: Perfect for capturing treasured family gatherings and traditions

A Personalized Experience from Start to Finish

Each Family and High School Senior Portrait session begins with a design consultation, where we take the time to understand your family values, traits, and personalities. This insight allows Stephen to craft portraits that feel deeply personal and meaningful.

Our process doesn’t end with photography—we also provide custom portrait installation in your home, ensuring your Masterpiece Portrait is displayed beautifully. Additionally, our custom-designed albums are a client favorite, especially among High School Seniors.

A Legacy of Excellence

I operate under two brands Charlotte Image Photography, Inc., and Stephen Dey Signature Portraits to reflect our commitment to exceptional, luxury portraiture.

Our Mission: To bring a Masterpiece Portrait into every exclusive home in the Charlotte Metro area.
