When I was a young girl it wasn’t always financially or physically practical for families to go to a professional photography studio. But some enterprising photographers, perhaps in an effort to supplement their incomes, would bring the studio to you.

  That was the case with  the first photograph, which was taken of me on April 25,1941, when I was 31/2 years old.  My family lived 120 Mckee Avenue in Monessen, Pa a person came to our home to take the order and set up an appointment for the sitting.  The photo was taken in our living room.
