Ninety years of moments you don’t realize you’ll miss until you do. Lifetouch’s story began in Minnesota in 1936, when National School Studios laid the foundation for what would become a ninety‑year legacy of school photography. From our early days serving local communities to supporting schools and families nationwide, our work has always centered on one purpose: preserving milestones that matter. After 90 years, you develop more than pictures. You develop stories, traditions, and memories that last a lifetime. As we celebrate this milestone, we’re proud of the history behind us and grateful for the trust families and schools continue to place in us. #Lifetouch #Lifetouch90 #FlashbackFriday...Show more
