Skilled photographer Kim Rice uses professional shutterbug equipment to take indelible snapshots of families, high-school seniors, pets, and more inside Keepsake Photography Studio's homey confines. During the approximately one-hour session, subjects strike 30 poses in a choreographed, in-studio scene that can be arranged to convey special occasions such as a graduation or first birthday. When the photo shoot ends, clients then select their favorite shot for tangible commemoration in one 11"x14" print and eight wallet-size prints, which make great gifts for family members or passing doppelgangers. Keepsake Photography Studio is also the stomping grounds of Oscar the parrot and Houdini the cat, both of which are available for posing advice between Acme-brand battles throughout the day.

That’s because she’s an elementary art teacher with a master’s degree in graphic arts, fine arts, and art education; a specially trained portrait artist belonging to the Professional Photographers of Ohio; and the founding photographer of Janné Photographics. Janné snaps family portraits with a contemporary style, capturing loved ones linked arm-and-arm against the rich colors of scenic outdoor expanses where many of her on-location shoots take place. In studio, Janné makes use of colored backdrops, lighting setups, and talcum powder-scented air fresheners that cater towards baby photo sessions.

As he leads guests through the Great Smoky Mountains or the Peruvian Amazon, he captures nature's grandeur with his digital camera, sharing his ever-increasing portfolio with the world through field guides, educational displays, and mass text messages addressed to “world.” Brian's passion for nature overflows not only into his photography, but into community activities. He can often be seen sharing his horticultural wisdom at area flower shows, teaching classes to the general public, or snapping dynamic images at sporting events.
