The photographers name was George Smith Cook.

Bonus: You are Martha Bulloch affectionally called "Mittie" and your half brother was James Dunwoody Bulloch who was head of the CSA foreign service. Your son was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. who became the 26th president of the United States and was awarded the MOH posthumously in 2001
 
1 George S Cook


Bonus: Martha Bulloch Roosevelt
Irvine Stephens Bulloch
Theodore Roosevelt

Irvine Stephens Bulloch was Martha's full brother, rather than a half-brother. He served in the Confederate Navy, but I find no indication that he was involved with shipping or with plotting against Lincoln.

BONUS: Martha Bulloch Roosevelt (July 8, 1835 – February 14, 1884). Her half-brother, James Dunwoody Bulloch (June 25, 1823 – January 7, 1901), was a Confederate agent based in Europe and considered to be the Confederacy's "most dangerous man" there. Martha's son was President (and MOH recipient) Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919).

Main: Question credit
Bonus: Theodore Roosevelt Sr. whose son became President Theodore Roosevelt Jr. MOH award for Spanish American War. Theodore Sr. half brother was William Wallace Roosevelt

I almost posted George S. Crook as my answer, since he was sometimes referred to as the Mathew Brady of the Confederacy or of the South. But it seems he has no prominent works featuring Robert E. Lee or JEB Stuart.
So I'll go with Julian Vannerson (1827–after 1875) whose portraits of both men are well known.

BONUS:
Martha Bulloch "Mittie" Roosevelt (born Martha Stewart Bulloch; 8 July 1835 – 14 February 1884)
1/2 Brother: James Dunwoody Bulloch (25 June 1823 – 7 January 1901)
Son: Theodore Roosevelt (27 October 1858 – 6 January 1919)
