Freelance Photography

After July 1, 2023, photographers in the Office of Public Affairs and Communications (OPAC) will be devoted full-time to collaborative work that aligns with the University’s strategic framework themes and messaging priorities. They will not be available on a for-hire basis to undertake additional projects; this work will be handled by outside service providers.

The freelancers listed below have been vetted by the University photographers. They are trained on University standards and protocol, and are approved vendors with Procurement Services. Each person on this list has signed a contract with Procurement specifying that any photographs taken will be owned by the University and copyrighted. You will need to contact the freelancer directly to learn availability and rates. The department or group contracting a freelancer is responsible for scheduling and payment of the freelancer using standard Notre Dame vendor payment methods.

The following list is in alphabetical order: 

Freelance photographers should be secured for the following services

  • Campus on-location faculty and staff headshots
  • All student headshots
  • Event and conference photography

Photographs taken by freelance photographers will not be available on photos.nd.edu. Storage and production of those photographs is the responsibility of the department contracting the photographer.
