MOLINE, IL — Aug. 20, 2026 — Local business owners Maggie Depoorter-Shappard and Sue Taylor, of TSS Photography of West Central Illinois & Iowa, 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 the Quad Cities.
Through TSS Photography of West Central Illinois & Iowa, Maggie and Sue 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.”
Building a Business in West Central Illinois & Iowa
Maggie and Sue have built their photography business through years of strong client relationships, consistent service, and a commitment to the schools, teams, athletes, students, and families throughout their region. Their long-term success has made the franchise one of the most consistently recognized businesses in the TSS Photography network.
That consistency is especially evident in President’s Club. With their 2026 induction, Maggie and Sue have now earned President’s Club honors for 12 consecutive years and 14 years overall. Their leadership has also been recognized beyond sales performance, including being named Victoria Schafer Veteran Photographers of the Year in 2024.
For Maggie and Sue, earning another place in the 2026 President’s Club represents more than another annual achievement. It reflects years of steady growth, trusted community relationships, and a remarkable level of consistency that continues to set a standard within the TSS Photography network.
Part of a Nationwide Group of Honorees
Maggie and Sue join a select group of TSS Photography franchise owners from markets across the country who earned President’s Club recognition this year.
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 Maggie and Sue on this achievement and looks forward to seeing the continued impact of TSS Photography of West Central Illinois & Iowa.
