In a tiny Bavarian Village, stepping into a small shop, you are swept away by soft smells and quiet music. Standing out most, are amazing pictures of four seasons, and instantly you are there. Peggy Ann Daczewitz-Hamlin was born in Chicago, but has lived in Leavenworth, Washington, since 2001. Her specialized photography of the Bavarian Village has won her acceptance as a photographer all around the United States and in 19 other countries. Through her pictures, she shares her passion and the beauty of this area, along with her ambitions and dreams.

As a devoted single mother of her three children for 20 years, she shares her life with anyone, who has an ear and some spare time. She animatedly tells you about how the Lord our God has lead her to fulfill her ten year dream of living in this beautiful village, nestled on the Eastern slopes of the North- Central Cascades.

Through many years of heartache and tears, as well as motivation and a crystal clear vision, God has molded, shaped, and sculptured her life beyond what she thought was imaginable. Her wonderful husband, Bob, and two sons, Chris, and T.J., have combined their talents in supporting and helping her in her efforts to make beautiful DVD’s, the giclee’ process to give her pictures the finishing touch, and framing her artwork so all can enjoy.

From the moment Peggy and Bob met, he has been devoted to her, encouraging on towards her visions and dreams, and never wavering in his quest to make all of it come true. He teams with his wife to promote her work, encourages, acts as a handyman around the shop, as well as working as a barber in their shop and gallery.

Peggy’s son, T.J., offers counsel, and creates, and maintains her website. Her other son, Chris, does all the technical work that finishes the final product of the DVD’s. Her willingness and perseverance has taught her to be obedient to God, and, as she says, “God sets the picture up and uses her as the tool to capture the moment,” so she can convey and share with others, His wonderful palette of vivid colors of the universe. As a result of all the combined family efforts, you are provided a product to enjoy in your home, office, and surroundings, that gives you excellent quality, a lovely memory, and moments to enjoy for life. With God, nothing is impossible, and Peggy is living proof of that.
