Fifteen finished frames that look like the day you actually had, not a costume version of it.

Photographs that still look like your people.
Hicks Photo makes portrait, family, lifestyle, and event pictures with a quiet documentary eye. You get a written price in USD, a private gallery, and files meant to print—not a pile of poses nobody recognizes later.

The usual result
A rushed hour, a forced smile, and a folder you never open.
Most people do not hate photographs. They hate being told to tilt, wait, and pretend the afternoon is going well while a toddler melts down and the light goes hard.
Years later those files look like a costume. The faces are there. The day is not. Hicks Photo works the other way: less staging, more watching, and enough direction that nobody has to invent a personality for the camera.
Selected frames
Stock reference frames stand in until client-approved portfolio images are published. They show the kind of light and pacing, not a specific Hicks Photo sitting.
What we photograph
Four kinds of days. One way of seeing them.
Portrait
Individuals, couples, seniors, and headshots photographed with relaxed direction and natural expression.
Lifestyle
In-home and on-location sessions that follow the rhythm, details, and motion of real life.
Event
Gatherings, celebrations, and small weddings covered with quiet attention and candid timing.
Families & groups
Families, newborns, and multi-generation groups photographed with patience, movement, and room to breathe.
Fixed prices in USD
Three sessions. One written number each.
The Sitting is $18 USD. The Session is $76 USD. The Story is $128 USD. Events and weddings stay on a written custom quote. A request is not a charge.
The Session

Files and prints
Payment and delivery timing are confirmed in writing before final files, prints, or albums are released.
What this is not
No same-day dump. No card numbers on this site. No surprise add-ons at checkout.
- A booking request checks a date. It does not take payment.
- Card numbers belong on Stripe's hosted payment page, never this form.
- Prints, extra images, and albums are quoted after the gallery, not slipped into the session price.
- Stock frames on this site are labeled as references until you approve portfolio use.

Client notes
Private client files, shared with care.
We do not publish client names, company names, or identifying images here without permission. Privacy is part of the service.
Family session
The gallery felt like our actual family, not a performance. The calm pacing helped the kids relax, and the final images were easy to share with grandparents.
Small event
Coverage was present without taking over the room. We received the candid moments, the details, and the group photos we needed for the archive.
Brand portraits
The portraits looked polished but still human. We used them across our website, proposals, and internal announcements without needing a second shoot.
