How long have you been in business?
We have been in business fulltime since 1979 (part time for six years before then).
What is your primary product or service?
Youth Sports Team & Individual package photography is our primary business. Event photography with Print-On-Site capability is next, and we also provide portrait and reunion photography between sports seasons.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Became interested in photography during college while studying art and media. Earned an Associate Degree in Journalism at Gainesville College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photographic Design at the University of Georgia.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We have specialized experience in Sports T&I photography since 1985, offer special trailer mounted posing risers for big groups such a football teams and bands. We operated our own digital lab producing silver halide prints for eleven years.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We operate from our location in Lula, GA and shoot all our photography on locations around the Northeast Georgia area.
