About the studio

M.Ō.D. Photography has one goal: to be the one-stop shop for photography in North Carolina, and to bring people together while getting there.

Welcome

M.Ō.D. has great vision to become the one-stop shop when it comes to photography in North Carolina. The company was created to showcase its founder's art, but also to bring people together and empower the generations that come after.

Alongside portrait sessions the studio covers event photography, candid work, product and brand photography, weddings, maternity and video, plus the social presence that carries all of it.

We are client-focused, creative, and committed to delivering a positive experience on every single project.

Photographer biography

Before

Event management and marketing

Reginald Hough was born and raised in P.G. County, Maryland, and later relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina. His early career was spent running events and marketing them, which is where the organised half of M.Ō.D. comes from.

2021

M.Ō.D. Photography launches

In early 2021 he decided to explore his passion for photography properly and launched the studio. For Reginald, photography is about pursuing his dreams and forming meaningful client relationships, in that order.

Now

A studio, not a solo act

M.Ō.D. is building a team of passionate creators who want to take their skills to the next level, and a brand that competes with the leading photography companies in North Carolina.

Why choose us

01

Direction, not just a camera

Most people have never been photographed properly. You are coached through posing, angles and expression the entire session, so nobody is left guessing what to do.

02

Fast, predictable delivery

Galleries land quickly and you get a private link you can share with family, clients or your team the moment they are ready.

03

One studio, every format

Stills, motion and the social content that carries them all come from the same shoot day, which keeps your brand looking like one brand.

I am grateful to have met Mr. Hough at the right place at the right time. He has been the epitome of professionalism since our first encounter. He took photos of an event organized for our high school. After seeing the results, I had to have a shoot of my own! He has an artistic eye and did everything in his power to produce the highest quality photos possible; he even organized a location that fit the theme I was looking for. I have made a friend and a go-to photographer at the same time. Always personable, easy to work with, and professional. Reggie & M.Ō.D Photography are on the trajectory to be the hottest photography company in North Carolina!

Working with M.Ō.D Photography was very easy and I had so much fun! It was my first time taking professional photos but Reggie was a great guide and made me feel relaxed. He gave me feedback throughout the shoot, did not rush me, and he made sure I had plenty of great shots before moving onto the next pose or location. I strongly recommend M.Ō.D Photography to anyone looking for professionalism and great quality photos!
Olivia ToddFirst portrait session
My experience working with Reggie was dope! We did a photo meet up at night, which was amazing for me! I never thought to push myself and put myself in uncomfortable situations like that. With us working together I got out of my comfort zone which really helped me in other areas as well. I can see in Reggie's work ethic that he truly cares about the craft and that is truly inspiring. Most definitely will be working with him again!

M.Ō.D Photography was the perfect choice to capture my daughter's HS graduation this year. Exceptional quality of pics, excellent customer service & affordable rates will keep us coming back! Thanks again Reggie!
Theresa GreenidgeGraduation
I booked my first photoshoot ever with Mr. Hough. I was nervous about doing it but the relaxed atmosphere, mixed in with ideas and professionalism made it a great experience. The tips that he gives before the photoshoot and during puts him higher in my book. He's friendly, and also expresses freely any issues that occur.
IsaiahPortrait session
I would like to thank Mr. Hough for doing an outstanding job of taking our wedding pictures. He seemed to know how to bring out the best in each photo and how to make everyone comfortable. He chose the best angles and lighting to make sure that our pictures were the absolute best. He was patient and dedicated to providing the best possible service. Our day would not have been complete without these amazing pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Deyonna TuckerPortrait session
It's been a pleasure to watch Reggie's career as a photographer take off. He took pictures for my graduation brunch. He captured the joy and love that filled the room. He was very personable with all my guests and guided us on which poses and locations would be best for each shot. I really appreciated the follow-up process as well. He provided a link very quickly after the event that let me share all the shots, that was really convenient! He's great!

Tishana JacksonPortrait session
I am a Raleigh based model and drove two hours away to collab with Reggie and if you ask me, it was worth a trip! Reggie not only has a creative and passionate mindset, but he comes to his photoshoots with an optimistic attitude that you don't see quite a lot from others. Reggie made me feel welcome and comfortable while also trying to have me feel beautiful and confident in front of the camera. He is also willing to redo any kind of mistakes encountered on the way. Thank you so much Reggie and I'm looking forward to more collaborations with you in the future.
Amira SmithRaleigh-based model
Reggie was amazing with our wedding photo shoot! He asked the questions to learn what we valued as moments to capture and blew us away with his professional approach to setting up the shots. He was always in the right spot to get the perfect picture and even found beautiful shots we didn't know we wanted. Easy to work with and quick turn around on our photos. He will be hired to shoot all our future events. 10 out of 10 recommend him for your photography needs.

KiKiPortrait session
I had an amazing experience working with M.Ō.D Photography. From the moment I expressed interest to the day I received my final photos, he was incredibly easy to communicate with and always responsive. He showed a lot of patience throughout the shoot and was generous with his time, never making me feel rushed. The final results exceeded all my expectations, every photo was beautifully captured. As a college student, I also really appreciated how affordable his services were without sacrificing quality.
