a note from Adrienne

My first three word phrase was ‘Do it myself.’

When I began building this business in 2003, I wanted to do everything myself.  I slaved night & day designing (& redesigning) the perfect the website, creating marketing materials, editing files, designing albums, managing the office & handling the details of being incorporated.  Oh and not to mention, the occasional photo assignment!  It took me several years of trial & error to realize I just couldn’t do it all.

In August of 2006, the Kansas City star published a front page article dubbing me ‘The Master of the Moment’ & my life quickly began to change.  With increasing interest in my work, I knew my business model needed to change.  I hired Ashlee a month later & I quickly wondered how I had ever survived before?  I soon began training her to second shoot with me at weddings.  Now we are so in-sync with one another, people often mistake us for sisters- sometimes twins!  Which is confusing because I am a red head & she is a blond?

I met Rob shortly after my husband & I moved to Kansas City.  He was shooting weddings & starting a family.  We had always talked about the idea of ‘like-minded’ photographers joining together.  Eventually we realized this WAS the best decision for us!  In addition to his creative eye & new perspective, Rob offers the studio his expertise in flash & web design.  Since joining forces, we are able to provide coverage for more events annually!

We have also recently hired a couple of new assistants to help with shoots as well as managing album orders & digital services.
