Things We Know to Be True

There are some things Karon and I both know to be true. Neither of us are morning people. Our heads are constantly cluttered with inspiration and ideas that can't possibly be put to task in this lifetime! We are not coffee drinkers, but we both love our sugar. That is most assuredly where the similarities end. Karon is chocolate FREAK. I prefer caramel. She is completely at ease in heels as high as she can find them. Me? I would break something if I tried wearing some of those heels of hers. I spend most of the summer in flip flops and Karon cringes at the site. I have three cats, Karon is allergic. She is a music buff, and yeah, umm, I am not. She says I am more of a people person than she, but I know her heart and she doesn't give herself enough credit.

It seems like forever that Karon and I have known each other and have been taking pictures together. And we didn't even know each other in college. (Nor did we go to the same school.) Each of us chose to become professional photographers at different stages in life. Ultimately, those choices caused our paths to cross. It was that moment when when Red Shoe Gallery was born. It would take a few more years for it to actually come to life.

Between us, we believe there is rarely a moment that is not worth photographing. Every moment tells it's part in a story. We aim to capture the true candid character of everyone we photograph. Our style is typically photojournalistic and documentary. Our goal is simple: to spark a sense of nostalgia that quietly touches the lives of others when they glance at the photographs we have taken.
