The St. James Salutators were out on Tuesday welcoming the newest member of the business community and presenting a plaque. Melissa Haseman, raised in St. James and attended school here, has opened a new photography business called “Imaginart Studio” located at 47 - 6th Avenue South in St. James.
Melissa, married to Josh for 13 years, has three children: Bailey (age 11), Shelby (age 9) and Riley (age 2). “I got into photography because I was inspired by my kids,” said Melissa. “I loved taking their pictures and soon had others asking me to pictures of their kids and family events.”
Josh also served as a great encouragement to Melissa, saying: “Try it now rather than regret not trying it later on.” “He really wanted me to do this,” Melissa said. Josh is fleet manager for Schwickert’s Construction Company in Mankato, Minnesota and he grew up in Butterfield.
Melissa will do just about any kind of photography: weddings, family pictures, babies, kids, graduation pictures, special events and so forth. Especially with weddings she likes to try and do what the bride and groom and the family want, she is very accommodating.
