Kirk Surber Photography

After many years in the military, I decided to settle down, spend time with my family, and start my photography business. Why photography? The real reason I picked up photography is my two sons. I’ve spent so much time away from them either being deployed or training, that I missed 1/2 of their lives. Let’s face it, watching your kids grow up over Skype sucks. That’s why I’m here. That’s also the reason I spent so much time training and investing in the equipment is that I want to have some great images of them. Surber Photography was then born. Not because I had planned on making photography a career.

This was actually something I jumped into because I needed to transition from military life into the civilian world. Funny enough, taking care of bombs doesn’t translate well into the civilian sector… huh, who knew? lol, I initially started learning how to operate a camera and use lighting because I wanted to have some quality photos and prints of them. Cell phones couldn’t do them justice, nor could just have a photo of them on social media. I needed something more. I wanted prints on my wall that I could walk into my home and see, not something on my cell phone.
