Who We Are

Professional Photography.Great Values. Everyday. CPI has come a long way since the opening of its first studio over 60 years ago, to become a leader in the portrait photography industry. Headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, we are the owner and operator of more than 1,000 Sears Portrait Studio locations across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, providing the broadest geographic coverage in the portrait industry.

We also provide an easy avenue to view, share, and order portraits online through our view and share online service.
