Capturing Legacy, One Frame at a Time

      Hi, I’m Franklin Hollins — the photographer behind Areo Photography. For me, photography is more than a business. It’s a lifeline. Photography saved me during one of the most challenging seasons of my life. Picking up the camera gave me purpose, joy, and a way to see the beauty and truth in others.

I’m a husband, father of three boys, and an entrepreneur dedicated to building a legacy for my family. That’s why every time I pick up my camera, I think about more than just the photo in front of me. I think about what that image will mean years from now — the memories, the milestones, and the stories it will tell.

​

Areo Photography specializes in:

• Headshots & Branding – helping professionals stand out and business owners build authority.

• Family Portraits – freezing moments that deserve to be passed down for generations.

• Sports & Event Photography – turning action into art and memories into keepsakes.

 

         When you work with me, you’re not just booking a session. You’re partnering with someone who is committed to making you look and feel your best, guiding you through the process, and delivering images that you’ll be proud to share and display. My home studio in White Plains, MD allows me to provide a private, comfortable space for clients while also being available for on-location shoots across the DMV and beyond.

 

        If you’re looking for a photographer who sees more than just a photo — who sees the legacy you’re building — I’d be honored to work with you.
