Twelve Stone Studio exists because we believe ordinary moments deserve to be treated like they matter.
Not every story gets a movie soundtrack.
Not every athlete gets recruited.
Not every family remembers to stop and take the photo.
But those moments still matter.
We're Ryan and Chloe Mazurek — husband and wife, storytellers, creative partners, and the people behind Twelve Stone Studio.
Ryan is the visionary. The strategist. The guy with twelve ideas before breakfast and an unhealthy willingness to hang out of a golf cart for "the shot."
Chloe is the engine. The steady hand. The person who turns ideas into reality and keeps things moving forward when Ryan's brain has already sprinted three projects ahead.
Together, we create photography and films for families, athletes, teams, businesses, schools, and organizations across our community.
Some of our work is loud and cinematic.
Some of it is simple and emotional.
All of it is personal.
We've filmed playoff runs under Friday night lights, created senior portraits that look like movie posters, helped local businesses tell their story, documented milestones for families, and built media that people come back to years later and say, "Man… I'm really glad we captured that."
That part means a lot to us.
We care deeply about quality. Probably too deeply, if we're being honest. We've learned the hard way that meaningful creative work takes time, energy, and margin to do well — which is why we've become more intentional about the projects we take on and how we structure them.
We're not a giant production company with layers of staff and polished corporate language. We're real people building something meaningful in a town we genuinely love.
And if you work with us, you'll probably notice that pretty quickly.
You'll also notice we care — about the final product, about the experience, and about the people trusting us with their stories.
And to everyone who already has: thank you. Seriously. This studio has been built one relationship at a time, and we don't take that trust lightly.
Twelve Stone Studio was born out of one of the hardest seasons of our lives.
In a short span of time, we lost a job, watched our home catch fire after a lightning strike, walked through our daughter's surgery and recovery, and faced more uncertainty than we knew what to do with.
And through all of it, God was faithful.
When we started this business in 2023, we named it after the twelve-stone memorial in Joshua 4 — where God instructed His people to build a reminder so future generations would remember His faithfulness and provision.
That's what the name means to us.
A reminder that God cares for His people.
That He leads us through hard seasons.
That even in uncertainty, He does not leave us alone.
In many ways, every story we capture is another stone in the stack.
A reminder that this moment mattered, and that God has been faithful through it all.
We're real people building something meaningful in a town we love. If you have a project in mind — or just a question — reach out.
