more about us . . .
we're not just photographers. we celebrate relationships.
we are marriage and family photographers.
through colorful images, classically and cleanly processed, we come alongside
our clients to help them celebrate and remember their cherished moments. with over 45 years of combined experience, we bring a calm confidence every time we pick up the camera.
we launched our photography business together in okoboji, iowa after getting married in 2011, but have been based in the east valley of phoenix, arizona since 2014. we love the midwest and continue to serve madison, wisconsin when the opportunity arises. as a graduate of the school of the art institute of chicago, jennifer is our primary shooter, though on most sessions, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
we knew of each other for years before we actually met. adam, our brother-in-law, was quite persistent that we meet, even though our initial interaction at their wedding years ago was less than monumental. as it would turn out in the summer of 2010, i (josh) crashed family vacation in iowa, where adam orchestrated a one-on-one between the two of us. despite being put in the basement for the night, next to the creepy furnace light, a spark was ignited.
before we even began dating, i won her over with an orchid (her favorite) sent to her home a day before i came up for her birthday. that same weekend, i scored my hottest girlfriend ever.
six months of long distance dating turned us into champion conversationalists. we could talk for hours about ministry, jesus' work in our lives, and obviously photography. josh was this shy, cute, texas boy with a southern accent. jennifer was this fun-loving, driven, wears-her-heart-on-her-sleeve girl that could melt your heart with her smile.
we both had always had the value of not dating a fellow creative, but somehow this worked for us. it was meant to be.
sometimes, you have to take a closer look...
