Meet the Team

Quiet Creek Photography is a rare thing: a husband and wife team that loves each other and loves working together. Cliff is the creative force and Dia makes sure we don’t go off-the-rails. Married for eleven years, we have nine children (five are married) and ten grandchildren.

We live in Broken Arrow, OK.

The Why

When I (Cliff) was a kid, the coolest job in the world I could think of was being a photojournalist. I dreamed of working for a magazine like National Geographic.

When I went to college, my major was photojournalism. I took a couple of photography classes (darkroom and all) as well as a couple of journalism classes.

Then I got distracted by technical theater.

I love theater: lights, sound, stage, sets, all of it. I've worked in a recording studio, done plays, musicals, concerts, all kinds of things.

And then I got distracted by reality.

You see, the thing about photojournalism and theater is they don't always pay well. They do if you are lucky, but that's rare.

I decided to switch to computers - just in case. "Just in case" turned into a career of more than 30 years.

But I didn't forget the dream. And Dia didn’t just say, “okay,” when I would talk about it. She’s embraced it and became a driving force in making it happen. Every day she’s asking, “What is the next step?”

That's a part of my story, a piece of who I am, and why we do what we do.
