Administrative history
Mel’s Photo was purchased by Wayne and Brenda Ridsdale in 1974 and they renamed it Prairie Portraits. It was located at 411 Centre Street. They operated it until November 1980, when they sold it to Chuck and Jean Audette. Joe and Joanne Gregoire bought the business in February 1995 and changed the name to Images by Prairie Portraits. A fire destroyed the building in May 2002 and a new building was built and opened in March 2003. In November 2007 the business moved to the upper floor of the Joz Cloz building. Images by Prairie Portraits closed approximately 2018. Prairie Portraits specialized in event photography, such as weddings and school photos, and over the years they also offered videography, custom framing, photographic equipment retail sales, trophies, passport photos, and art prints.
