Our Studio
In 2006 we moved to our custom-built 3,800 square foot studio in West Rapid City built of Douglas fir timbers, and mossy limestone. Our camera room is 28’x35’ with 17 foot ceilings and an oak hardwood floor. It is fully-equipped with over 50 backdrops, plus numerous props, a cozy dressing room, surround-sound, and a wide array of professional lighting. Our viewing room has a theater-like atmosphere with brand new couches and a new 60 inch big screen TV to show your images in almost cinematic style! We archive your images in several ways and have the original files dating back to our beginning in 1991.
Our Staff
Our staff consists of three photographers, a graphic designer, and two customer service representatives.
