Who we are:

As a three generation family business, Read Photography has been a staple in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa and surrounding communities since 1975. We're passionate about the work we do, and we love that we get to work closely with so many people in our community.

Quality work is a standard that we uphold throughout all branches of our business. We operate our own print lab on-site to ensure the quality of our prints, and work closely with trusted vendors for any products we cannot create on-site.

Our team works closely with organizations such as schools, dance studios, independent sports, and local businesses, as well as individuals (families, high school seniors, etc.) to build lasting relationships and provide quality services and products. While the majority of our photography is posed, we also take candid photos at large events in the Cedar Rapids area, as well as nationally.

As a photography studio, we experience seasons of increased hours to accommodate specific events. We are a small team, made up of creative individuals using unique skills to contribute to our combined success. We work together to be available where needed, while also excelling in our respective positions.
