Announcing My Retirement

Thank you St. Joseph for allowing me to provide almost 50 years of portrait photographs. As of this summer I have completed a journey that began in my High School yearbook in 1974 as a photographer.

I began my professional career in 1979 when Ron Fleckal, owner of Bray Studio hired me on as a photographer in training and Dark Room Processor. I started my own business in 1983 and have been involved with School Photographs, High School Senior Portraits, Family and Children's photos since that time.

It seems strange not be involved with the usual Registration days, sports photos and Senior Portrait sessions normally taken this time of year. I have taken hundreds of thousands of images in my career and I appreciate all of the patronage and patience with me over a lifetime.
