Northern Minnesota's Traveling Photographers, Hibbing, Virginia, Grand Rapids, Duluth, International Falls, Bemidji,

Welcome Brewed Awakenings Coffee crowd.  Marie and I hope that you find our imagery worthy of the walls at Brewed Awakenings!  Marie and I have been really busy all winter so far and will be adding images to the walls as ours frames arrive.  We come to town from our home in Togo, MN 3 times a week for doctor’s appointments and to tend to Rental Property in Grand Rapids.

We both work full time jobs at Bergquist Switch in Bigfork, MN in the Assembly and Press Operations departments.  Photography, however is what drives us!

Marie attended St. Cloud State for Visual Communications with a minor in Graphic Design.  Jim learned by trial and error and then attended Ohio Institute of Photography & Technology, in Dayton, OH.

Marie started Sweet Water Photo Studios in 1991, met Jim in 98 and after OIP&T, brought Jim on-board in 2002.   Then stuff really started to happen!  We doubled our wedding photography business 4 years in a row!  Now we are working on our High School Senior Photography.  With the addition of our new studio last fall, we hope that will bring us the needed work we desire!

This spring (2010) we will be adding a 1960′s gas station set for Hot Rods and Motor Cycles.  Located just fourty beautiful miles from Hibbing, MN and the Crusers Car Club.  We hope to draw area clubs to our unique setting and location, for that one of a kind photograph.
