Our Best of 2016
2016 was a year that I will look back on long from now and remember for many more reasons than just the loss of Princess Leia, David Bowie, and Prince. It was the year filled with change, travel, hard work, and most importantly the year where I was able to fall in love with photography all over again. It was the year where I started to see all of the hard work, risk-taking, big decisions, determination, and perseverance really pay off. The vision that I’ve had for the past 4 years really started to come to life right in front of me. 2016 was the first full year as Twisted Oaks Studio, and we completely blew our expectations out of the water. We successfully built a talented team of photographers who helped us create a studio like no other in our area, and we couldn’t be more proud.

As for Sandi and I, this past year was a big one for finding who we really wanted to be in the photography industry. We learned a lot about ourselves and worked on having our photography reflect that. I feel like this gallery really shows what 2016 was us and a true representation of our photography. 2016 was the year where we were confident enough to let our true artistic vision reflect in our photography. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year a very VERY special one for Twisted Oaks Studio. It’s a little long, but I promise it’s worth it making it to the end.
A few proud moments and articles from 2016:


























































Simply out of this world gorgeous, stunning.
That’s why you are my biggest inspiration. Truly phenomenal and inspirational stuff.
Can’t wait to see what you Bring in 2017
Happy holidays to you and the (twisted oaks) family.
I truly love your work. It’s so enchanting and beautiful. What an amazing eye you have. Love how novel each photo looks and how you manage to capture unique emotion and feeling, despite having a beautifully consistent style of shooting. I as a newbie in photography just received my very much needed dose of creative inspiration. Thank you for sharing.
