About us

In the Midwestern U.S., the culture is to avoid speaking in the first person. This midwestern modesty should not be confused as a lack of pride in achievement. On the contrary, it is felt that quality and pride in craftsmanship will speak for itself.

Red Wing Portrait Studio is one leg of a trifecta of visually-related businesses. Red Wing Framing Gallery is a custom framing and fine-art printing operation and Red Wing Digital Studio is focused on emerging digital technologies. All of these organizations have the shared passion for the visual world and there is significant overlap in activities.

Red Wing Portrait Studio is a natural extension of Red Wing Framing Gallery. We have always been very active in the photography community and ten years ago we took up fine-art printing in an effort to have more control over the final result. After the custom frame shop opened, we noticed an uptick in portraiture projects as a consequence of 9-11.

Red Wing Portrait Studio formally began in 2002 with the stated purpose of being innovative, creative and students of the craft.

And to have fun along the way.
