Crafting Legacy Through Light: The Story Behind the Lens

From the energy of New York streets to the quiet beauty of the Midwest, my journey with photography has always been about something deeper than just taking pictures. What started with a Kodak Instamatic has grown into a lifelong passion for capturing connection, emotion, and legacy.
At Guy Finley Studios, we create more than images—we preserve life’s most meaningful chapters in a way that’s designed to last. Whether it’s a senior ready to mark their next chapter, a couple celebrating their wedding day, or a family coming together for the first time in years, I believe every story deserves to be told with intention.
This work is personal. It’s legacy work. And I’m honored to do it.
Let’s create something lasting—together.
What We Believe
We believe photography is more than a service—it’s an investment in memory, in family, and in legacy.
In a world of disposable snapshots and forgotten digital files, we’re committed to creating printed, tangible artwork that lives on your walls and in your hands for generations to come.
We believe in intentional storytelling. In building trust with every client. In planning sessions that reflect who you are, not just what you look like.
Whether you’re marking a milestone or simply preserving a fleeting season, we believe your story deserves to be told beautifully—and remembered forever.
