The Faces Behind the Lens

After spending 37 years as the Lead Photographer for Fort Leonard Wood, Mike traded the fast moving pace of an Army Journalist photographer for a sturdy pair of hiking boots and a mission to capture the softer side of the Missouri Ozarks. He’s joined by Steve, a retired educator who spent decades shaping minds and now spends his days framing the perfect shot. Together, we’re two retirees who swapped the 9-to-5 grind for the "golden hour" glow. Whether we’re chasing the morning mist over a winding creek or waiting for the perfect light to hit a rugged bluff, we’re out here proving that you’re never too old to explore the wild backyard of Missouri. We might move a little slower than we used to, but we always make sure to capture the view.
