Welcome to our site. We have a passion for photography, along with experience in graphic design and advertising. Our experience as an art director and publication director allows us to see and create things that you only see in national magazines. Heartland Photos and Design was established in 2001. However, we have been perfecting our style of photography for over 10 years and creative design since 1991. Our photography services include aerial, architectural, commercial, portraiture, wedding and stock. We also have limited edition scenics that are not currently displayed on this site but may be requested. We also design a multitude of printed materials such as ads, brochures, fliers, business cards, direct mail, logos, stationery, invitations, folders and postcards. For other advertising related services such ad campaigns, media buying, web sites, radio and television, please e-mail or call to discuss your needs. If you would like to discuss a photo session, design project or book a wedding date, please e-mail me through my contact page and we will get back to you as soon as we receive your questions. Thanks for considering our photo and creative services! As always, image is everything and quality is our business. We hope to talk with you soon. Sincerely, Christopher & Melanie Ruhaak
