History

Established in 1969.

Clifford opened his first Studio in May of 1969. His zeal for his profession is evident in his active involvement in professional societies such as the Southeastern Wisconsin Professional Photographers Association (SEWPPA) and the Wisconsin Professional Photographers Association (WPPA) both of which he has served as an Officer of the Board and as President, and the Professional Photographers of America for which he served as National Councilor for Wisconsin. In 1974 he was named as the first "Photographer of the Year" by the SEWPPA and has since received the same honor a total of twelve times spanning a number of years. Carroll has been honored by the Professional Photographers of America with the degrees of "Master of Photography" and "Photographic Craftsman". In addition, he holds the combined degrees of Associate Fellow and Fellow of Photography from both the WPPA and SEWPPA. In 1991 he was awarded the National Award for Photographic Excellence and Dedication to the Profession.

Meet the Business Owner: Jim S.

Jim Schoonover heads up the studio's entire operation. His primary responsibilities include client development and creating portraits for our exclusive clientele. Jim received his first formal education in photography while at MATC. After completion, he started working for the Carroll Studios as a photographer. After several years he was ready to venture out on his own and opened Van James Photography Studios in nearby Waukesha, Wisconsin. While developing a unique style of portraiture, Jim earned the degrees of Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman from the Professional Photographers of America. When the opportunity arose to head up our entire photography department, Jim rejoined the Carroll Studios to better serve both his and the studios combined client base. With the retiring of the original owner, Clifford R. Carroll in 2019, Jim had the opportunity to purchase the business and continues to operate it under the new brand of Carroll and Van James Studio.
