Gary grew up in Montana where he hiked, camped, skied,
canoed and fished the Big Sky country while living in
Kalispell and later, in Missoula. While attending the
University of Montana he developed a passion for
photography. After three years of organic and inorganic
chemistry, physics, biology and other science courses, he
left U of M, moved to Seattle and enrolled in a
commercial photography school. He met Holly in the photo
school. She had recently moved back to Seattle from
Hawaii to pursue photography. Upon discovering their
mutual kinship with mountains they started adventuring
together. After finishing school, Holly went on to
Pasadena, CA. where she received her BA in photography
from the Art Center School of Design. Gary stayed in
Seattle and worked for a famous location photographer as
an assistant traveling all over the world on huge
advertising campaigns. Gary not only learned the business
of big productions, but was given the opportunity to
shoot in excess of 10,000 rolls of film on a second
camera position for these shoots throughout Africa,
Japan, Mexico, Canada, and the USA. Holly went to work
for an outdoor recreational company, REI, for 15 years as
a location and studio photographer. They sent her to Peru
for a trip on the Amazon River to take pictures for them,
then on to Chile to shoot in Patagonia. She traveled to
Greece on assignment for them, as well as all over the
West. Gary and Holly have thousands of stock images on file
and they shoot stock throughout the year to keep fresh
images coming in to the ever expanding files. They live in Seattle with their two boys, 15 and
13 years old. All images on this web site are available for
