A little about Jim . . . Jim Lersch has been a commercial photographer for 33 years. During that time he has seen his share of slow seasons. Jim has learned to compensate for those times by adapting and searching for new ways to keep his business moving forward. He has worked with several famous celebrities in Branson, Missouri including Andy Williams, Ann-Margaret and Yakov Smirnoff to name just a few. His high-end commercial portraits earned him the Photographer of the Year from the Professional Photographers of the Ozarks (PPO) in 2003 and 2004, the first commercial photographer ever to receive this honor, not to mention two years running! Jim's teaching credits include several years teaching at PPA's Winona School of Photography and giving his educational seminars in over 20 states and Canada. This program received excellent reviews at PPA's Imaging USA 2005 in New Orleans!
