The Studio

I've always thought a homey, warm, relaxed studio would be better than the city chik urban studio.  One, because all photography studios go for ultra modern metro.  But two, because it just fits our personalities so much better.

So when I first saw the 'blue house,' neatly situated on almost 1.5 acres of beautiful land, but right in the heart of Springfield's west side, I immediately saw the potential.  So, we worked hard and saved up money for a downpayment, and here we are.  

Here you'll find a great place to meet us for consultations, view our work throughout the studio in both gallery form and what it might look like in your home, and of course, photograph your session.  We'll always love location work.  Though we also have a full service indoor and outdoor studio.  Think of our outdoor studio as a cross between park and rural, but with an emphasis on all things vintage and simple.

Stop by to see us sometime.  Though you may want to give us a ring first to make sure we're in.  And of course, since we are often booked out far in advance, it's usually best to plan your visit with an appointment.  We hesitate to say "appointment only" as we enjoy a laid back atmosphere, but just know that since this isn't a residence and we're often out on location shooting, booking an appointment is the best bet for ensuring our availability.
