A Few Words From Us
As Gareth and I pause to reflect on our career through the lens of over thirty years, countless moments and memories unfold before us, steeped in nostalgia and overwhelming gratitude.
The privilege of creating art that captures the essence of humanity, and dedicating our lives to refining and perfecting a craft we adore is a treasure beyond words. It is a rare and beautiful path that has filled our hearts with joy and satisfaction.
When a client tells us that their most treasured possessions are the photographs we took of the family at different stages of their lives – framed prints, that don’t come off the walls simply because their children have grown, Gareth and I feel a tremendous sense of pride and fulfillment.
It is with deep appreciation and a heart full of gratitude that we acknowledge the incredible journey photography has taken us on. Working alongside extraordinary individuals and families has not only been a privilege but a profound source of inspiration. The opportunity to create, connect, and contribute to their lives has been the most rewarding aspect of our career—creatively, emotionally, and spiritually.
What could be more fulfilling than devoting a lifetime to a craft that not only fulfills your soul but also touches the hearts and spirits of countless others? Our passion for photography has been a conduit for such connections and we are eternally grateful.
Thank you for allowing us the honor of being a part of your lives, for the trust you've placed in us, and for the countless memories we've shared.
A Few Words From Our Clients
Soderquist Photography have photographed our family over the years, and we cherish their work! Their pictures are centerpieces on our walls as well as beloved memories for family members. Thank you, Jan and Gareth!!
Angela Corning
“Thank you so much, Jan and Gareth, for your kindness, expertise, and for all of the photos we took during our family reunion. You’re amazing and everyone is thrilled with the results. You made this so special for my family and I am truly grateful.”
Cindy Dobyns
So... I went round the house and counted how many images from Soderquist Photography we have hanging on our walls. 9 portraits and 4 landscapes (Gareth's shorescapes) + about 10 other smaller ones in frames on bookshelves, mantlepieces etc. Can't say better than that. Their work is exquisite!
David E Smith
I have been working with Jan and Gareth for several years on a major video project for our church in Naples. They have done an outstanding job both in terms of the quality, professionalism, and creativity of the videos they produced for our website, which involved multiple topics and locations and interviewing a wide range of people. While their video production, filming, and interviewing talents are impressive, they have also been wonderful and supportive partners. From the first steps of defining the goals together and planning each video through every part of the creative and production process, we always knew they were committed to helping us achieve our goals. And we are very happy with the outcome.

"The Vidéage Gareth and Jan created for us is wonderful and brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Their attention to detail was amazing! With our children being older now, we are all so grateful to have such a magical snapshot of that precious time in our lives.”
Kim Carrigan
“If there was a fire in our home, once everyone was safe, the first things I would grab would be the beautiful framed portraits of our family that Jan and Gareth created for us over the years. They are treasures...and are priceless.”
