Local Article in Oak Grove and Odessa Paper
19th February 2012
To Nintz Photography it’s about documenting the moments and memories.
Jeffrey Bake and his wife Andrea have relocated to Oak Grove and brought along their love of people, art, community and photography. Together they have created Nintz Photography, specializing in Weddings, Artistic, and Journalistic Photography. “We capture memories in artistic ways. Some might call it Photo Journalism... I'm not so sure about that. We try hard to make the pictures catchy and fashionable. To make it art you would want to share or put in a book or on a wall. But it's all about the CLIENT and sharing who THEY are with Simple, Clean, and Bright photos that will not be outdated in 10 years.” The name Nintz itself comes from perseverance. “Art and Photography are ways for us to persevere in this life and to make a lasting impression.” Andrea has been working in her home country of Costa Rica as a Graphic Designer and Photographer for several years for small companies and a family ran printing company.
“I first held a camera when I was 12. I asked for a camera for my Christmas gift and got a Kodak film camera, since then I have been in love with the camera. It’s a way for me to show others how I see the world. I want to show people other views of the things around them” And that is just what she is doing now here in Oak Grove. Jeff is a graduate of Oak Grove and has “always preferred to be behind the camera instead of in front.” Currently also working for Hallmark he is hoping to someday make the photography company, and soon to open, Art Gallery his career. “From the first wedding I ever shot I was spoiled. It was such an honor to spend time with people on such a special occasion and be asked to be the one (or two in this case) that are responsible for recording that day forever.”
“We want to give everyone High End Photography... at NOT high end prices. We have even bartered trades in services for weddings in the past. Why not? In this day and age we all need a little help and people deserve to have that day they way they want it,” He said.
Currently they are building a new Photography Studio in Oak Grove at 1121 S. Broadway and will be opening with an Art Gallery that they want to be for the community. “We want a place that local people can be featured in a Gallery and get seen. Where young artists can start building a resume and have their art shown off the way they dream. We are striving to make something different with Nintz and to make it a company that people respect for the art and photography it produces and the work it does with the community.” They are currently booking weddings and all photography needs. The Gallery is set to open by the first of March.
