Efrain Rodriguez Jr. (JR) fell in love with photography during high school when he photographed school activities and sports for the high school newspaper and yearbook. After graduation, JR served his country in the United States Navy. Upon his return to Texas, JR got his first job as a professional photographer in the school portrait industry. 1990 was a great year for JR. Not only did he land the job of his dreams, he met the girl of his dreams as well. Diann and JR said “I do” in 1994 and had two beautiful children who bring him great pride and joy. 28 years later, JR is still doing what he loves, being a husband, father and photographer. JR understood long ago that to be successful, he had to be driven, patient, committed, and above all, honest. In his world, every portrait matters, every child matters, every Principal is a partner that matters, and every parent is his boss. Now, with many accounts and a team of like-minded, award winning photographers, JR oversees a wonderful territory for Strawbridge Studios, Inc.
