Anthony's career in photography spans over 40+ years, dating back to high school where his love and passion for photography began. Much of his college days were spent photographing college students - something that began as a hobby blossomed into a full business, that he thoroughly enjoys.
Anthony has received training at some of the top-notch photography schools in the country; including the School of Modern Photography, the Winona School of Professional Photography, and the Triangle School of Professional Photography. In addition, he has studied under some of the greatest photographers and masters in the country. He constantly attends workshops/conferences, classes, and seminars to continue to hone and develop his artistry skills.
Most of all Anthony’s top priority is his relationship with Christ, as he serves with several others as an associate minister in our local church, leader of the audio/video ministry, and leader of our care group ministry.

Taking Time for Yourself and Family through Photographic Portraiture
Written by Anthony Conoway
The Big Question: Are you taking time for yourself and family by having quality, fine portraiture created?
Hello, I am Anthony Conoway, owner of Anthony Conoway Portrait Design. My wife, Barbara, and I have been creating beautiful, fine portraiture in the Washington DC metro area for 25+ years. We specialize in elegant, classic, traditional-fine portraiture. We call it “Timeless Elegance!”
Let me ask you an important question. When was the last time you had a professionally designed timeless wall portrait created of yourself or your family? Not a head or publicity shot. That’s different. Even in these economic times, Covid times, trials, and tribulation; sometimes the only thing that can bring us that lifetime of joy is a connection with ourselves or our families and the photographic memories we have and share.
A lot of people we talk with think ‘well, I won’t look good in a portrait’ or ‘I don’t like my face’, or ‘the last time I had a “picture” done I looked fat, etc. Well, you’re in good company. At Anthony Conoway Portrait Design, we don’t specialize in “pictures” as a lot of people tend to call them. We specialize in creating fine portraiture, and we care about how you look. We take your natural character, and create a one of a kind piece of wall décor that is naturally you, not a softened up glamour shot. We know what makes you present your best. We start with a design consultation to discuss proper clothing choices. Doing your design session, we will make sure your clothing reflects who you are.
Good timeless portraits aren’t always huge smiles, but subtle emotion and expression. You want hear us asking you to say cheese!
- Why Wall Portraiture?
-
A beautiful wall portrait of yourself or family in your home is a statement. A statement about your strength as a family or individual; and can bring the greatest joy every time you walk past it on your wall. Just think of the conversations with your friends as they gather around your beautiful portrait in your home. Wow, what a statement.
- Taking The Time!
-
As working professionals, you spend a huge amount of time with others making sure they are happy and satisfied, and that’s a wonderful thing. However, we often forget to spend time with ourselves, relaxing, and creating lasting memories for ourselves and our families. We’d love to help you get started, and introduce you to our business and fine style of classic portraiture. We want you to get to know us, and we want to get to know you.
- How Are We Different?
-
At Anthony Conoway Portrait Design, we’re a small business with a large vision. Our vision is to provide superb individualized client service and a high-quality product.
On a personal level, we are a friendly husband and wife team who cares about you and work together to create a one of a kind work-of-art. Our warm, residential studio gallery makes you feel relaxed and not hurried. Many of our clients come back year after year, some several times a year!
Though I am full time, to accommodate our clientele, many of our sessions are evenings or Saturdays. This is another way we accommodate you, the working family and professional.
Give us a call and reserve your session today! If we can’t answer your call right away, we’re probably creating another beautiful memorable heirloom. Leave us a message and a convenient number and we’ll call you back as soon as we have the opportunity.

Anthony & Barbara
