About Us

Evolutions Studio

In 2001 we opened Evolutions Photography and focused on weddings, family, and portrait photography. For the next 20 years we spent weekends, evenings and summers capturing and editing the moments that families look back on for generations and smile. While we still love the occasional photo shoot, as with all things we have grown, and well, evolved into Evolutions Studio. With a background in both fine arts and education for over 15 years, painting workshops were a natural transition for us.

We have tried to surround ourselves with many different teachers, styles and methods, both formal and informal, to learn how to best understand those methods and share them with our students. We want to continue to learn and grow creatively and to share those experiences with you!
