A Heartfelt Thank You & A New Chapter

Retiring December 31, 2025
A Heartfelt Thank You… and a New Chapter
After much thought and reflection, my wife and I made the decision to retire from photography at the end of December 2025.
This has not been an easy decision, because photography has never just been a business for us. It has been a calling, a craft, and most importantly, a privilege.
For over 20 years, we have had the honor of being invited into some of life’s most meaningful moments. From young families to high school seniors stepping into the next chapter of their lives, to weddings filled with joy and anticipation. In many cases, we have been lucky enough to photograph all of those milestones for the same person. That is something we will never take for granted.
We have also had the pleasure of working with so many entrepreneurs and professionals, helping them present themselves to the world with confidence through their headshots and personal branding.
What has always set our work apart was never just the photograph itself, but the experience. From the very first consultation to the final delivery of heirloom artwork, our goal was to create something lasting, meaningful, and deeply personal for every client who trusted us.
To each and every one of you who chose us over the years, thank you. Your trust, your stories, and your continued support have meant more to us than words can fully express.
As part of this transition, it was incredibly important to us to find someone we could wholeheartedly recommend. Someone who not only meets the standard our clients have come to expect, but elevates it.
We are confident we have found that in Becky Koesel, owner of Koesel Photographer.
Every image Becky creates is a true masterpiece. She brings the same level of care, artistry, and attention to detail that we have always valued so highly. If you are looking for a photographer for children, families, seniors, or beyond, we can recommend her without hesitation.
While this chapter is coming to a close, we do so with full hearts and immense gratitude.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives.
With sincere appreciation,
Tony & Melanie Juays
