Our Company - Our Family
We’ve been a leader in the school photography industry for 70 years, and it’s not by accident.
Our History
Van Gogh School Photographers is a family-owned and operated business that has been capturing and preserving smiles since 1947. It all started when Joseph Zucco and his wife, Juanita, built Picture Master Color Lab. Their goal was to produce studio-quality images in a school setting, resulting in professional portraits at an affordable price. Overtime, Joseph and Juanita’s children and, now, grandchildren have taken what they started and evolved it into a premier school photography company, photo finishing lab, and yearbook printing firm.
