We had a wonderful opportunity to be photographed by David and Barbara! Not only were our photographs amazing, we were treated like rock stars. For those not aware of this studio, it is housed in Stuart's historic Masonic Building, a treat in itself.
Dave hails from New York and worked many years as a professional photographer for several big magazines before transplanting to Los Angeles where he met Barbara, a wonderful photographer herself. Dave created a special process for black and white photos and is known world-wide for his processing technique. Barbara made us feel like old friends, which made for a very comfortable session. No cookie cutter work here!
How lucky is Stuart, Iowa, a small farming community outside of Des Moines, to have these two. Our photographs were done in both black and white and color and we were amazed at how good they turned out!
They spent time doing test shots to be sure we liked our poses and to be sure of lighting. We have never had such meticulous or professional photographers show such caring! I know I will make the trip back to Stuart again when I need a professional photo for my next book!
Great work and well worth the short drive from Des Moines! read more
