NOT JUST PRETTY PICTURES
Hello, Stuart Thurlkill here.
If it has been a while since we last connected, let’s not let the sun go down before we catch up. I’d love to hear from each of you about the challenges you’ve faced and the victories you’re celebrating, both in life and in business.
For our team the past nine years has been an incredible adventure, full of risks and rewards, triumphs and heartbreaks. Through it all, one thing has remained constant: our love for God, our clients, and our passion for the creativity that fills every moment.
You might be wondering what’s new with the Thurlkill Studios team. In short, a lot.
We’re excited to share news about our upcoming documentary film set to release this year, a completely refreshed website, new 2026 workshops, a new book and a collection of art prints we can’t wait to get into your hands.
We are dreaming big, and we’d love to have you join us on our next wild adventure.
New Look, Same Untamed Creativity
For the past 20 years, we have had the privilege of working with some truly amazing people. From cancer-curing scientists and global construction crews to luxury hotels, clothing brands, and yes, real-life ranchers as well as the actors who play them on TV.
This incredible mix of clients has kept us on our toes, challenging our creativity, and, honestly, made our job a whole lot of fun. Every project has taught us something new and helped shape who we are today.
So, to celebrate two decades of storytelling, collaboration, and rolling with the punches, we decided it was time for something new. Thurlkill Studios just received a brand refresh. While the look may have changed, the heart of what we do remains the same.
We are still here to make you look and sound your best, and we now have even more tools to help you stand out.
Here’s to the next chapter. We cannot wait to work with you and tell your story.
Rooted in Storytelling, Growing with you
From the very beginning, our foundation has been built on one simple idea: telling powerful stories that are beautiful and true. For years, we’ve had the honor of creating photography and video that tells your story. It’s been about capturing more than a moment; it is about capturing meaning.
As we continue doing what we love, we’re also growing. We’re now offering brand strategy and innovative communication tools designed to help businesses stand out and connect in an ever-changing digital world. Think of it as story + heart.
Still Capturing Life’s Special Moments
Many of you know us through Eyes 2 See, our dedicated family portraits, events, and wedding photography and film. While we have expanded to focus to include more filmmaking as well as corporate, industrial, and hospitality work, our love for documenting personal stories is still very much alive. The Eyes 2 See team continues to offer the same heartfelt, creative work we have always been known for. So if you're wondering, yes, we still do that. And we love it.
Did you hear? We made a documentary
The Fifth Wall Film: The Edward Fields Story
What do you get when you mix bold design, Elvis, The White House and the birth of the area rug? You get The Fifth Wall, a new documentary I had the pleasure of producing and directing in partnership with Aspire Design and Home Magazine.
Our film tells the story of how Edward Fields, who came from a modest background, transformed the world of interior design, manufacturing, and the way Americans live at home. And no, it’s not just about carpets. It’s about style, innovation, and art finding a new home - on the floor.
The Fifth Wall Takes Manhattan
In May we were thrilled to screen The Fifth Wall at the Museum of Arts and Design theatre at Columbus Circle in New York City. Sharing the film with an incredible group of creatives, collaborators, and friends made the night unforgettable.
Head over to The Fifth Wall website to watch all our available content and see updates on where the film will be shown next. Our next showing will be in Chicago, October 8th at the Merchandise Mart during design Chicago. To attend the Chicago showing, go to the Fifth Wall website to register today!
