We purchased The Focused Image in 2012 from Tom & Karen Bauer when they moved from Arkansas City. It was an act of love to ensure the children in our community would continue to have the youth sports memories we did of our daughter.. Our refrigerator was full of the magnets showing how she had grown from season to season and her far away grandparents looked forward to their next picture to frame for the wall.
We are committed to best practices and outstanding customer service having moved from paper order envelopes with customers pre-paying for packages to an online ordering system where you select from multiple images before purchasing. Today we are using green screen and other techniques allowing for different backgrounds, sessions in inclement weather, and even virtual teams for flexibility of scheduling.
Through all the innovations we continue to keep pricing affordable. (Do you know we actually lost a contract opportunity in Derby because our prices were less than half what the others were charging?) When you know your community, and you care about the people, it impacts how you do business.
We go above and beyond the norm because we want every family to have their child's pictures to look back on - their milestones of life to cherish.
Memories can fade, but good photographs can last for generations. How can we help you preserve your memories?
Just about anyone can take a good picture every now and then. With today's advanced technology, virtually "every one " tries to be a photographer.
When the photography bug came knocking on my door, I wanted to make sure those that entrusted me with their biggest moments or their snapshots in time, would receive photos they would share for generations.
Becoming certified took over 6 months of concentrated education and training on technical skills, consistency, unique artistry and professionalism. That investment of time, finances and energy was followed by a rigorous testing procedure before gradating to recognition as a certified professional photographer by the Professional Photographers of America in 2019.
I started as the solo photographer and paper envelope sorter, but I'm happy to now serve as the "spare" getting to spend my energy keeping sessions moving smoothly and toting equipment.
I'm excited by the images Jeff captures and the many ways he has grown our business. Spring boarding from simple youth sports pictures to artistic photography in creating images I know clients will treasure, Jeff has fully embraced a "Yes, and..." philosophy in his work.
Take a little time to explore his work, then contact us to talk about your project!
