1947
SchoolCraft Studios is a family owned and operated business, established in 1947 by George and Gina Crescione in Paterson, NJ. The studio was called Crescione Studio, located at 53 Market Street, where they specialized in family portraits and tuxedo rentals.

1973
In 1973, their son, Joe, joined the company, began pursuing school photography, and opened SchoolCraft Studios. The first school he photographed was the elementary school he attended as a boy, and his involvement in his community helped form the relationships that are still strong today, as we still take their pictures every year.

2000
The third generation of Cresciones joined the family business in the early 2000s. Joe’s children, Cristine and George, helped to expand SchoolCraft exponentially, facilitating the shift from film to digital photography. Now employing more than 30 people, and servicing over 200 schools, we are focused on the memories of hundreds of thousands of students every year.
