“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.” – Anthony J. D’Angelo

Rooted in the heart of Yankton, South Dakota, our photography studio is the embodiment of a community-centered business, built on the bedrock of solid work ethics and craftsmanship. My journey to professional photography was paved with a decade of dedicated service in the US Navy's submarine force. With a thirst for knowledge, I pursued higher education at the University of Guam, earning a Computer Science degree, complemented by a minor in Arts, where I honed my focus on photography.

Hi, I'm Cory Loomis, a passionate professional photographer based in Yankton, South Dakota. My journey with photography began in the 90s with a film camera, and it became a serious passion during my college years in 2009.

I find inspiration in viewing my subjects on a personal level, whether it's a person or a location. My favorite types of photography include portraiture, where I relate to people and portray them uniquely, and nature photography, which allows me to blend artificial and natural light for impactful images.

My style is clean and distraction-free, focusing on technically correct images that capture the true essence of my subjects through emotion. When working with clients, I take the time to understand what inspires them, their personalities, and how they see themselves.

I am proud to be a member of the Professional Photographers of America and to serve on the board of the Professional Photographers of Nebraska. These organizations have provided me with the tools and education to create powerful and pleasing images.

Continuing education is vital to me. I attend workshops and classes annually, and occasionally teach other professional photographers, to stay current and improve my skills.

Through my photography, I aim to help my clients see themselves in a new light, as others see them, and leave with a positive outlook on themselves.
