The third-generation family-owned Hunt’s Photo is no newcomer to Western Massachusetts. Until recently, the company operated a store in Hadley, MA for the past 15 years. When the chance arose to move to a heavily-trafficked site near the intersection of Routes 91 and 90, the appeal proved irresistible.

The new 1,800 sq. ft. Holyoke store will continue the competitive pricing, unparalleled expertise and exceptional customer service for which Hunt’s Photo is renowned. In addition, it will expand on the company’s commitment to education by offering 1-on-1 onsite classes in photography to the community.

“Hunt’s is really focused on educating consumers,” explains Yagjian. “If improving your picture taking technique is on your to-do list, we offer one-on-one classes tailored to your specific needs. As each class is unique, be sure to call ahead for an appointment time convenient for you. We invite photographers at every level to continue their learning at Hunt’s.”
