"Art... in the form of photography. Working together, sharing ideas, fueling each other with inspiration is the most exciting and rewarding thing we can do. As artists, it is our ultimate goal to share ourselves with others and have a lasting impact upon the people we touch. Photography is our love and passion. It is something that we live, dream, talk, study...it is indeed our passion. Cameras are always at our side...we are always looking. Each roll of film is like a present, waiting to be opened. It offers us the opportunity to play, record, and discover."

William and Mary, both photographers and both holding the prestigious Master of Photography Degree from the Professional Photographers of America, are in total control of the images they create. Together, they edit each photograph deciding from there if the photograph meets their standards. Most of the time they agree, but once in a while they disagree. When that happens, they put the photo aside and review it at a later date. Mary cuts the mats and William frames the photographs. The ultimate product ending up in their booth is a mutual collaboration.

Their supply of cameras include: large format, medium format, and 35mm. They seek out colorful and unusual scenes to capture and depending on the lighting situation, the location, and the specific subject matter will determine which film they use. The negatives are printed by an outside lab and each print has their approval before it is printed for display, making dire the color, cropping, and density are all correct.

"Our subject matter comes from our love of people, flowers, architectural design, and most of all visual impact."
