ABOUT US
Hello, and Welcome!
Jack and I (Joanne) have been married for 26 wonderful years and we have two grown children. Shannon, our daughter, is 25 and Shane, our son, is 18. They also share our love of photography and Drag Racing. We try and follow the racing circuit closely. We also have 2 Golden Retrievers now that have taken over our hearts and our home. We live in the heart of Firestone Park in Akron and we run our business from our home. We attend Firestone Park Presbyterian Church and love living in the park and attending the functions that are held here.
Jack and I have been interested in photography and doing it as a hobby since before we met in 1983. In all of our years since, taking photographs has been a wonderful journey. We virtually never left our home without at least one camera in tow. Everyone we know have grown to expect to see us there taking photos at every special moment, party, or event in their lives.
We have always done photos for friends and family and given as gifts for weddings or other occasions. They would compliment us on our work and say what a great job we would do and say we really should be charging for this, so that is how our business began.
We have and will take pictures of just about anything from glamour shots to newborns, concerts, racing, senior pictures, and everything in between. We have taken pictures at lots of concerts at Quicken Loans Arena including Queen, and The Trans-Siberian Orchestra just to name a few. We take pictures at many local events such as Rockin' on the River in Cuyahoga Falls and Lock 3 in downtown Akron. We are affiliated with the WONE radio station in Akron and you can find our photos on their website. We are the official photographers for Bike Night and Rally in the Valley and that is where you can find us every Tuesday.
Our philosophy is Customer Satisfaction always; no matter how large or small the job, it is handled with the utmost care for our clients. We do everything possible to make their experience a pleasant one; one that they would be willing to recommend us to their friends, family, and acquaintances.
Hope to hear from you soon! -Jack and Joanne Speight
