What is your background and how did it lead to photography?
Hobbyists! By loving the trade and self-teaching we were able to develop our own unique style and means of doing things.

What type of photography do you shoot the most, and what is your favorite type of photography?
Weddings {80%}, Portraits {15%}, Corporate {5%}. Dan would probably say he prefers landscapes (for fun), and being able to shoot unique venues and events that are out of the norm for work. I (Karin) prefer bridal sessions or newborns!

What is your photographic style and aesthetic? How did you develop this style?
Natural, clean and creative! We always love working new angles and ideas and specialize in helping our couples feel relaxed and comfortable during our shoots. We take a photo-journalistic approach of not being overly posed, yet realize that most all couples need guidance when it comes to "posing"

What is your best photography tip and post-processing tip?

Pricing structure.
