About Us

 April Burns

I always say that I live in a house, on a hill, in the country and I love it.  I am married to my high school sweetheart, we have two amazingly beautiful boys and we have a gorgeous dog named Behr.  I love them all more than they will ever know. I also have a love for gardening, it amazes me that there is such beauty all around us. I am fascinated by the sky, the clouds and how they are an ever changing painting. I know most people do not see them that way, but just stop and think about how beautiful they really are.  I have such a passion for photography, to be able to stop a moment in time is so precious to me. I spend most of my time photographing my boys, my niece, and clouds, lol!  Yes I have a crazy fascination with clouds.

I am thankful for so many things, the love of my family, being a mom, wife, sister, daughter. I am thankful for this beauty that I am surrounded by and that my husband and I are able to raise our children in this safe beautiful place.

Robin Pederson Chavez

I'm Robin Chavez, the gal behind the lens of Robin Chavez Photography. I love to photograph just about everything, but especially children. They hold a bit of magic and innocence for me that I am drawn to. I am blessed with three boys, a supportive husband, two pups, a rabbit, and a little frog named Frankie.

I am thankful to be living in this beautiful world full of lessons and opportunities. I am thankful for the important things in life. For me, life is about love and faith. It's about the relationships we build and create with others, to interact and connect. Not only am I grateful for all of this, but also for the ability to express that gratitude through art.

Ken Gehring

My name is Ken Gehring and I live in Cabot, Arkansas. I am a self taught, natural light photographer. When I reflect back over my life, I have always been passionate about photography. For many years I upgraded my point and shoot to the latest model and considered myself a pretty good amateur photographer. A few years ago I bought my first DSLR camera for myself as a birthday present and my love affair with photography grew into a passion! There is art everywhere we look!

Sharon - Arrow Creek Photography

I'm married to my college sweetheart and we have beautiful children that are the center of our universe.  Although I loved photography when I was younger, I didn't pick it back up until my children were born and I wanted to freeze every second- 

I felt helpless to somehow desperately hold onto time, youth, baby startles and chubby fingers.  

Photography gave me that gift.

As a photographer, you'll find me mostly shooting outdoors, capturing the spontaneous moments.  

My style is clean, real, and simple, with a touch of bohemian and a healthy dose of playfulness mixed in.

My main inspirations are my children.  I am eternally grateful the universe allows me to spend time with these little precious creatures everyday. I constantly can't believe they are actually mine.  My husband is truly the definition of partner, my cup of tea. ♥  I also have the best parents in the world, and they remain a large part of my life.  My mom is a painter and has always encouraged me to explore my artistic side.  I created The Gratitude Collaborative because I believe that gratitude is the key to being happy both personally, and in your art.  Gratitude to me is being mindful and celebrating the big and the little good things in life.  I'm very grateful to have lots of both.

Amber Carbo Privizzini 

 

 I am a happily married mama of 4 beautiful children. I have an amazing husband that supports me every step of the way in this amazing journey. I grew up loving anything creative and hands on but never pursued photography until my kids were born and I realized how much I loved taking pictures of them on my cell phone. It was then that I bought my first camera and started this crazy awesome path into photography and here I am today. 

I love to capture my kids in their everyday life doing what they do. My style is unique, moody, real with a touch of color. I love real raw images that ooze with emotion and tell a story. I am so grateful I get to do what I love everyday while capturing amazing moments for my children to see and look back at and show their own family some day. 

Gratitude to me means just being thankful and appreciative for what you have and not dwelling on what you don't have. Finding the positive in everyday things even if they are negative and unwanted there is always a way to make something positive out of it. Be kind and treat people with respect and always remember to smile. I have gratitude for my amazing family that supports me and gives me love. I am so thankful I get to do what I love every single day and raise my kids. I also am so thankful for all the amazing friends, photography and not that I have met along the way. 

And of course, keep creating!

Bjorna Hoen

My name is Bjorna and I'm born and raised in The Netherlands (Europe) and that is where the story of my little family starts. I met my American husband while he was living in Amsterdam for his work. After a year he wanted to move back to the US, I followed him and soon after we had our first little one, a girl, who just turned 3. Two years later we had her little brother who is now almost one year old.  Up till last week we lived in Seattle in a cute house in the woods, were we lived our lives mostly indoors as it rains a lot. But we just started our new adventure and moved to Southern California and are so happy to be living in sunshine and near the beach, we can't wait for all the new memories we will make here.

Photography is my creative outlet. It makes my heart happy and calm. I mostly follow my kids around with my camera, I want to capture their childhood as best as I can, so I can show them what life was like when they were growing up.  Photography also helps me see the little things in life, the things that makes life so beautiful, it forces me to slow down and enjoy our life together even more. My favorite client sessions are in home storytelling session, its such a honor to be invited into someones home and tell their story. My other love is everything related to pregnancy and birth, I am also a birth doula and hope to be a midwife one day, it is probably not surprising that I love to photograph births too. I am beyond grateful for my little family and the life we have.

I believe there is beauty in everything! if we stop and look, it is there. 

Gratitude means not taking for granted what we have in front of us. I am grateful for every living moment. for every second spend with the ones I love, for every time I get to document those moments.

Jeanna Ludwig

I am married to my best friend, which I have 3 children with. We have a 6 yr old daughter and 2 yr old b/g twins. God has richly blessed us. They keep our lives interesting and exciting and just a tad crazy! But I wouldn't change it for the world.

Lifestyle/Documentary photography is where my heart lies right now. My own children are my favorite subject. I hope that they are very happy one day that I documented so many wonderful memories together. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful.

I have the most "gratitude" for my God who has blessed me with my family, friends, home and the gift of photography.
Psalm 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever."

Indira Klotzer

I'm happily married to an amazing man, we have two beautiful kids and our sweet golden retriever puppy (who is really not a puppy anymore).  We are so blessed to have a beautiful home in a place that is surrounded by water and woods.  I grew up in Trinidad, but moved to the US and Canada to go to college and I never really left.  

My style is warm, vibrant and crisp. My favorite type of light to shoot in is backlight.  I really love landscapes and lifestyle imagery the most, so I have been trying to merge them together to tell my story.  I'm often chasing my kids around to capture them and to document our memories. Life is so precious and they grow up too quickly.  I'm lucky to be able to spend a lot of time with them, so we're often spending our days on the beach, at a park, in the woods, and on occasion we're home too.  

    

I've always loved photography but I really didn't learn how to use my camera until my second baby was born.  He was born just shy of 30 weeks.  He is perfect, I struggled...we lived! I'm grateful for a lot of things, but I will start it by saying I'm grateful to be alive today.  I'm blessed with a beautiful family, mine, my mom, my brother's, my in-laws. My mom is amazing and I am for grateful for her and all her sacrifices she has made for me to be the person I am today.  My hubby is my best friend, my rock, and without his support I wouldn't be able to do these things with my passion.
