When photographer Jim Rissler unpacked his car for an elementary school session in Jefferson City, MO, he searched everywhere for his backdrop and couldn’t believe it wasn’t there. He entered the auditorium where the session would take place, keeping his eyes open for anything that would work. Then he noticed the stage curtains—a perfect background. Lucky for him, the school's personnel thought the photos were always taken that way. #90yrsinnovating #ISSpub #ShareThePowerOfaSmile #SchoolPhotos

Inter-State Studio wishes everyone a Memorial Day filled with reflection and appreciation for our heroes. We are truly grateful to all of those who have served.

Time fades, but memories last forever. #ISSpub has given many people the opportunity to relive and share memories through photographs. Territory Manager, Jennifer Dumath, reminisces, "This photo was displayed at my moms house for years until she moved, and it got put into a box and was then given to me. My kids enjoy getting all my school pictures out and looking through them. We like to compare which of my 4 kids look like me when they are my age." #ShareThePowerOfaSmile #90yrstrending #Throwback

Join us in highlighting this week’s #employeespotlight, Donnie Sawford! Donnie has been a Database Administrator at Inter-State Studio for 25 years. His favorite thing about working at Inter-State is the culture. He says he likes working at #ISSPub because of, “The family environment and the feeling that my ideas and efforts are valued.” Outside of work, Donnie spends time singing in his church choir, camping, going on hikes, visiting sites, gardening and learning about agriculture production and transportation. To Donnie, Sharing the Power of a Smile will show how contagious a smile can be. He says, “Smiles are contagious. Having had kids and now grandkids getting school pictures, I have experienced that. School pictures always generate a smile for the viewer.” #ShareThePowerofaSmile #CompanyCulture #NatureLover #ContagiousSmiles
