Why did we wait so long? The idea of getting everyone in one place at one time wearing clothes that match is more than most can bear. Fortunately, Jim Juhl, the award-winning photographer at Myhre Studio excels at creating an atmosphere where people feel at ease. “When people are comfortable their expressions are natural and that’s what people want in a family portrait.”

Jim said he treasures the family portrait on his own wall at home. “My family is the most important thing in my life. Our kids have all grown up and moved on, but the family picture in my office has frozen a moment in time.

“I really enjoy being a part of making that gift for a family. I think most people come through the door with a ‘let’s just get this over with’ attitude, but I’m pretty sure when they leave they’ve had an enjoyable time and ask themselves, ‘why did we wait so long?’
