John Lee has owned and operated John Lee Photography for over a decade. He worked part-time for five years and eventually moved to a studio on North Second Avenue West. Now, he has become so successful that he needed more room.

To celebrate, he will be having an open house at his new studio at 101 N. Eighth Ave. E. from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Friday that will feature a ribbon cutting ceremony. He invites the public to participate and enjoy drinks.

“The camera area was just not large enough to accommodate larger groups,” Lee said. “Normally I do them outside in the summertime, but it is more difficult. Plus, I needed to get my office in the same place. I kind of transitioned from a home studio to having a location up there and having an office at home. I did it to be at home with the kids, so it got kind of clunky.”
