John Barkhimer jr

I’m a Michigan-based photographer and artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a lifelong passion for creating. My artistic journey has taken me through many different mediums, from drawing and illustration, to painting, jewelry making, bookmaking, and ultimately, photography.

It wasn’t until my kids began getting older that I realized the importance of slowing down and preserving the moments that so easily pass us by. That realization sparked a deeper passion for photography and for the stories that photographs can tell.

Today, I’m passionate about creating more than beautiful images. I want to capture the genuine spirit, personality, and heart of my subject. My goal is to create stills of those fleeting moments in time that allow us to see ourselves as the people who love us do, and to provide an experience to hold onto, remember, and cherish for years to come.
