We are imaging professionals, and we are just like you. We are in love. We have families. We are serious about what we do, because we know how important it is to you. It’s that important to us as well. We know we have the best jobs in the World. To celebrate relationships — in ways that glorify and strengthen the ties that bind us together — is our calling. We bring technical skills and aesthetic sensibilities together when producing work that will make you laugh, and cry, and cherish all that is dear to you. We are lucky to have found this calling in our lives, and we are thankful every day for it. My name is Steve Twist and I am the lead photographer at Avalon Portrait Gallery. I took over the studio from the previous owner, Ross Pack, in 1997. Before that I did photographic work for the U.S. Air Force and the V. A. Medical Center in Dayton Ohio, and did commercial photography for many large corporations throughout the Midwest. I have a B. A. in Scientific and Industrial Photography from Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara CA. But it was my seven years photographing retinas which really prepared me for the kind of work that I do now. You see, when photographing an ophthalmic patient’s retina, you have to gain their absolute trust, show them compassion, be their friend, and get the most meaningful details in you work. If you fail, your efforts are worthless. Portraiture is exactly the same. Maybe a little less painful. But I promise you this: If you will give me your attention for a brief period,
I will give you something that you and your loved ones will treasure for generations to come. And yes, that is a promise! If you are looking for a photographer to document something important in your life, why not call us and set up a time just to come in and meet us. Visit our studio and see if you know some of the people whose photos are hanging on our walls. The consultation is free, and we’ll give you many ideas for your portraits, whether we do them for you or not!
