Origin of Name

The name “Capstone Portraits” draws its inspiration from the Bible, where the term capstone (or cornerstone) symbolizes strength, foundation, and completion. In passages like Ephesians 2:20, Christ is described as the chief cornerstone, the essential piece that holds the entire structure together. Similarly, Capstone Portraits was founded on the belief that faith and excellence are the cornerstones of every great work. Just as the capstone crowns and completes a building, this company seeks to elevate and complete the vision of every individual and business it serves

Founder

What started as a hobby quickly grew into a passion and purpose. Self-taught photographer Jamil McCarthy turned a vision into reality by creating Capstone Portraits LLC, a faith-driven photography company dedicated to excellence and authenticity.

Guided by faith and a desire to serve others through creativity, Jamil built Capstone on the belief that every brand and every person behind it deserves to be seen in their best light. His goal is simple: to elevate brands through timeless, professional imagery that reflects both confidence and character.

With a background rooted in discipline, creativity, and purpose, Jamil has developed a deep understanding of how strong visuals can transform a business’s identity. What began as a camera in hand has become a calling, capturing not just faces, but stories, visions, and faith in motion.
