Strawbridge in 1923, Strawbridge Studios got its humble start in the basement of the family
home with the simple goal of creating prints for school recordkeeping. Being amongst the first photography
companies, it quickly gained traction. Over time, the Strawbridges have turned J.E.’s passion into a 4th
generation familyowned company that has been in business for almost 100 years. Built on the foundation of tradition, integrity and strong family values, Strawbridge Studios is now led by J.E.’s
grandson, Ken, as CEO, and great grandson, Michael, as President. While the company has expanded across
the nation into 28 states and the District of Columbia, the roots and headquarters remain in the heart of Durham, N.C.
