who we are!

We’re Justin and Averie. We first connected over photography almost a decade ago, trading letters, cameras, and dreams across time zones. Since then, photography has been the thread tying together our relationship, our work, and now this space.

The name “Yours,” comes from the way we used to sign our letters during years of long-distance love. What started as a personal sign-off grew into something bigger — a sentiment that this space was never just ours, but always meant to be shared.

What began with a love of weddings and a small collection of Kodak memorabilia has grown into Yours, Durham: a place to celebrate creativity, connection, and the beauty of analog and digital coming together.

Whether you’re here to rent the studio, pick up film, make prints, or join in community events, our hope is simple: that you find something here that feels like it’s yours.
