We’re a husband-and-wife team and our photography venture, 2 Browns Photography, combines our love of the outdoors with our love of photography.

​

We both started shooting film when we were 10 years old and moved into digital around 2009. On day hikes, camping trips, etc., we’d capture our adventures. In 2012, we gifted ourselves a photography weekend workshop and were inspired to follow our passion. We are mostly self-taught but always enjoy taking workshops with other photographers and in other mediums.

​

Most of our pieces capture scenes and elements of the Michigan landscape that inspire us. We hope that our images convey the beauty, spirit and excitement that we experienced. More recently, we have also been exploring the patterns and details of flowers and leaves using macrophotography.

​

October 2024-January 2025 we are the featured artists in Guardian Gallery Grand Rapids. 

 

Our work has appeared in ArtPrize, Festival of the Arts, Frames Unlimited, LowellArts, NCAA-Artsplace, the Frauenthal Center, Dogwood Art Center, Cherie Inn and the Pure Michigan campaign and is in many private collections, hospitals, and businesses.

 

Our work has won a number of awards including:

• Bill Pieri Purchase Award, 2019 Festival of the Arts Regional Exhibit (Kris)

• Grand Valley Artists Photography Award, 2024 Festival of the Arts Regional Exhibit (Kris)

• First Place, 2024 NCCA-Artsplace statewide photography contest (Bob)
