Alan and Nancy Gawel
Owners of Main St. Portraits







The history of Main St Portraits began in 1995 when owners, Alan and Nancy Gawel opened their first studio in Vicksburg MI. Six years later, they purchased a beautiful historical home in Portage that was perfect for a photography studio. With this new property they were able to create a beautiful outdoor area providing our clients with a variety of scenes and landscaped backgrounds, as well as a large studio equipped with a white room and enough space to build several unique sets. We now have two full time photographers, Alan Gawel (owner) and Vince Guarino (former owner and photographer of Guarino Studios of downtown Kalamazoo).
