SALEM, IL — Aug. 24, 2026 — Local business owners Saundra and Brian Banning, TSS Photography of Salem, have been recognized among the top-performing franchise owners in the TSS Photography network with induction into the company’s 2026 President’s Club.
The honor was announced during the annual TSS Photography Summer Conference, held in Denver in July, where franchise owners from across the country gathered for education, collaboration, and recognition.
President’s Club is one of the highest honors awarded within the TSS Photography franchise system and recognizes franchise owners who demonstrate outstanding business performance, leadership, customer commitment, and dedication to their local communities.
Local Relationships, National Recognition
While the recognition comes from a national franchise organization, the success behind it has been built right here in Salem.
Through TSS Photography of Salem, Saundra and Brian work with local schools, youth sports organizations, families, and community groups to provide photography services and create lasting memories for the people they serve.
That local focus is a major part of what makes the President’s Club recognition meaningful.
“President’s Club is about more than strong business performance,” said Jack Counts Jr., President of TSS Photography. “It recognizes franchise owners who consistently show up for their customers, their communities, and the TSS network. This year’s honorees represent what makes TSS special—local entrepreneurs who are committed to growing their businesses while also helping strengthen the people and brand around them.”

Saundra has been part of the TSS network for well over a decade, growing the business beyond its original markets and expanding into areas such as school photography while continuing to serve teams, students, athletes, families, and organizations throughout the region.
Their commitment to the TSS community has also been recognized in meaningful ways.

They have also been recognized repeatedly as President’s Club members, reflecting the consistency and long-term strength of their Salem business.
For Saundra and Brian, earning a place in the 2026 TSS Photography President’s Club is another important milestone in a business built on adaptability, trusted relationships, and a continued commitment to serving their local community.
Part of a Nationwide Group of Honorees

Although each franchise operates in a different market, President’s Club members share a commitment to entrepreneurship, customer service, growth, and representing TSS Photography within the communities they serve.
TSS Photography congratulates Saundra and Brian on this achievement and looks forward to seeing the continued impact of TSS Photography of Salem throughout Marion County.
