What is the view through a Utopian Lens?  For us, it’s seeing and capturing those moments that reflect our values of simplicity, connectedness and integrity and that reveal their beauty.

For over 20 years we have made our home and raised our children in New Harmony, Indiana, the site of two different utopian communities in the 19th century.  The values, reflected in the stories of both the Harmonists and the Owenites, the two social experiments conducted here, resonate with the concepts we hold dear: diversity, free thought, enterprise, and community. Both groups were searching for enlightenment, and both found it to varying degrees through their work. They were dedicated and diligent, and they valued contribution to society.

We strive to honor those values in our work. “The Moment that Tells the Story” means being in that unique place and time to capture an image that transcends both place and time.

Our hope is that these images will help you connect to a moment of your own and inspire you to tell your own story.
