History
Creative Professional Photographers was a Saskatoon photographic business that existed for more than three decades, from 1966 to 1998. It was created in 1966 when Leonard Hillyard sold his photographic business, Len Hillyard Photography, to Don Steeves, who renamed it Creative Professional Photographers. When Don Steeves died in a car accident on June 10th 1988, his wife Eleanor Jean Steeves took over ownership of the business. Their son Bruce Steeves was manager of daytime operations till his mother sold the business in 1998, and just before his death later the same year, on September 24th 1998. He died in an industrial accident while moving heavy machinery that was being sold off. This happened tragically just after he decided to get out of lab and press work in order to concentrate on photographic work in his own studio.
