The Visual Image Franchise

Preschool and pet photography


Paul Holman founded Visual Image in 1984 after leaving his job as a photographer with a small portrait company. Intent on building a business that would give him the creative freedom he wanted, Paul joined forces with his brother, Donald, and formed the Visual Image Inc. franchise company in 1994. The private company has more than 17 locations throughout the United States and is based in Maryville, Tennessee.
