J & K STYLE

 

John Stalzer-

The word "create", (verb).  

Definition: to develop in your mind or develop physically 

 

 

   This is what defines John, creating images. He loves to come up with new things and ways to photograph.  He can imagine something unique and create it. Having a Master of Photography degree, mastering light and color is what defines Stalzer Photography.  You can’t just own a camera and call yourself a photographer, you must be able to comprehend and understand the elements it takes to create an image.  A camera and Photoshop just doesn’t make the cut here.  Just look at their photography and you will see there is something different about it compared to any studio in the area. It is crisp, clean and most importantly bursting with real color! 

 

 

   The physical creation John has is landscaping, which you will see once you arrive at the studio.  Each spring, he’s outside to create new unique areas for our families, seniors and children alike to be photographed in.  We take great pride in our studio inside and out, no other studio around can give you the quality and unique appearance that we have “created”.

 

 

   Some of John’s accomplishments include Top IOWA CPP Non Master, Top  Ten IOWA Non-Master twice, HOA (IA,MO,KS,NE) top Non Master Outside Portrait of a Group winner twice and 2 Fuji Masterpiece Awards. In January of 2010 he received his Master of Photography Degree in Nashville. No other photographer in the area is both certified by the Professional Photographers of America and holds their Master of Photography degree.

Mackenzie "Kenzie" Duncan-

 

   Her start to photography came from being the yearbook and newspaper photographer in high school and realizing there, she wanted to be a photographer. She then went to Hawkeye Community College and received her photography degree.  Mackenzie adds so much to the studio with her fun personality and the genuine love she has for being involved with the seniors, families, and brides they photograph. If she’s not commenting on their posts on Facebook, she's uploading the past weeks weddings and seniors, which is a vital part of their social media connection. They have gotten so much feedback from seniors and families alike, saying they enjoy John and Mackenzie so much because they are "real". They aren't "all business, no play" kind of team, they LOVE to have fun.  Mackenzie is a Certified Professional Photographer of America.
