Reintroducing TSS Photography: Capturing Memories, Powering Businesses

At TSS Photography, we do more than just take great photos—we help entrepreneurs build meaningful businesses that make a lasting impact in their communities.

If you're new to our story—or it’s been a while since you explored what TSS has to offer—consider this your official reintroduction.

Who We Are

TSS Photography is the leading franchisor in youth sports, school portraits, and event photography, serving families and organizations coast to coast. From a child’s very first team photo to milestone moments like senior portraits and graduations, we’re there to capture memories that last a lifetime.

But what truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and customer care. Every franchise owner in our network shares these values—and we provide the technology, tools, and training to help them deliver consistently great results.

Where We Started—and How Far We’ve Come

TSS was founded with a simple mission: to preserve life’s most cherished moments. We began with local youth leagues and quickly realized the incredible potential of franchising. That insight fueled our growth—starting in the early 1980s and continuing through decades of innovation.

Over the years, we’ve revolutionized how volume photography is done. From pioneering digital workflows to launching green-screen customization, our team is always working on what’s next. TSS franchisees don’t just adopt new tools—they help shape them.

What Makes TSS Stand Out

In an industry driven by moments, TSS builds momentum. Here's why franchisees choose to build their businesses with us:

  • Consistent demand: Picture day never goes out of style. With built-in seasonality and repeat events, our franchisees enjoy reliable business cycles year after year.

  • Technology that leads the industry: From mobile-friendly ordering systems to AI-powered matching and green-screen tech, we stay ahead of the curve—so our franchisees can, too.

  • Support at every step: We believe in partnership, not just ownership. Our team offers hands-on training, coaching, marketing resources, and a collaborative community of fellow owners.

  • Room to grow: TSS offers a proven model with room to scale—whether you’re expanding your territory, hiring photography teams, or even preparing to sell a thriving business one day.

Recognized for Innovation and Growth

We’re proud to be a Franchise Business Review award winner, recognized for both innovation and franchisee satisfaction. But the true reward is seeing how our franchisees grow—both professionally and personally—through this business.

Our owners are photographers, veterans, educators, parents, and entrepreneurs. They each bring something unique to the table, and together, they make TSS stronger.

Is This the Right Fit for You?

Whether you're a professional photographer looking to break into volume work, or a business-minded leader seeking your next opportunity, the TSS system is built to support you.

We invite you to learn more about what makes this business special—and how you could be part of it.
