About Us

Hushed mornings and lightening broken skies, flower girl dresses stained with chocolate, glances that deliver secret messages, and moments of uninhibited emotion, these are the things I see and love to record through my lens! Photographic images and video enable me to capture life as it happens, bring original concepts to reality, and tell stories that deserve to be told.

Over the past 21 years my photographic journey has taken many turns, from the old film days, to the adoption of digital technology, which provides the freedom for me to fully express my creativity during each step of image processing. With these new tools come fresh and exciting ways to experience the visual world.

Photos are compositions of life that become tangible artifacts for you to hold and remember precious moments: how the rain fell so hard on your wedding day, or the way a now-grown son’s hair curled at the nape of his neck when he was only a toddler.

Through the years I have been blessed to work with some incredible artists. These talented individuals, each with unique, yet complimentary visions, have come together to make up the artistic collective known as Tom Smarch Photography. It is our privilege to be invited into your lives in order to uncover the details that make you who you are and capture those details for you to keep—laughing and having fun along the way!
