Elizabeth has won countless awards for her portraiture, including her wedding and portrait albums.  She has 14 Fuji Masterpiece Awards, four Kodak Gallery Awards and many loan collection images.  Her albums have also been selected in the top 10 albums in PPA.

Trey manages the studio, computer systems, album design, and designs all of the marketing pieces.  Not to mention, he is also:  groundskeeper, plumber, electrician and computer repair technician.

On a personal note, Trey and Elizabeth have three young boys, one with special needs, that keep them busy as well.  When they are not at home with the kids or working at the studio, they travel around the country giving seminars to other photographers.  They have spoken many times at Imaging USA and part of Millers Speaking Team.  Elizabeth and Trey love what they do and hope to always be able to encourage others.
