Member of the Week 8/8/2022 -- Liberty Studios

Liz and Thanh Lu have been operating Liberty Studios since 2015 and Landon is always there with a wagging tail to greet their clients.

Liberty Studios has been capturing life’s most significant milestones across the Wooster area for 90 years. Past and present customers and employees are all invited to celebrate in downtown Wooster, share their stories and reminisce about the business's long-standing history.

90 YEARS AND COUNTING

Charles Whitemyer gave Liberty Studios its start in downtown Wooster in 1932 where Smetzer’s Tire Center is now located. The business operated out of several downtown locations through the years until moving to its current location at 1344 Heyl Road in the 1960s. Upon Charles retirement, his son, Chris, along with his wife, Sally, assumed ownership of the business. Elizabeth Lu took a job working at the studio in 1990. Over time, she gained more photography experience and began to take on more responsibilities of the business. Elizabeth and her husband Thanh Lu, have been operating Liberty Studios since Chris announced his retirement in 2015. “We love Wooster and downtown,” Thanh said.
