Visually Interested Parents began our “Art Booster” organization in 2013 and have been growing ever since.  Our main objective is to support and promote the Oswego High School Visual Arts Department and its programs.  Some highlights of what we do: Sponsor and help with the Chicagoland 4x5 High School Art Exhibition, drop off and pick-up student art for shows we are involved with Run a greeting card fundraiser, help at the OHS “Future Panther Night” every January. Run a booth at our annual Oswego Art Show/NAHS Induction Ceremony. Offer a scholarship each spring to a student continuing on to pursue art. We designed the first-ever art patches to sell for the Lettermen’s jackets.  We also designed and sell vehicles stickers to promote OHS art.  Our VIP club is now incorporated.  We are very proud of what we have accomplished so far – and look forward to continuing on with even more new ideas.
Jack and Pam Feltes opened Photography by Feltes in 1985 on the east side of Aurora specializing in senior portraits, family portraits, youth sports, and commercial photography. The family owned studio has been the official yearbook photographer for OHS since then and the official photographer for OEHS since its opening in 2004. Feltes has also served schools in West Chicago, Yorkville, Aurora, Naperville, Batavia, Hinckley/Big Rock and North Aurora.
Feltes opened a state of the art 5000 sq. foot portrait studio on Sullivan road on the west side of Aurora in the spring of 1998. The building was designed specifically for senior and family portraits and consists of 2 large camera rooms, a natural light camera room and an outdoor portrait park. The studio sits on one acre with a natural waterway on the property.
Photography by Feltes is one of the last full service studios in the area. Its mission has always been to provide a lasting memory in a quality format. Jack and Pam Feltes continue to service the Fox Valley area providing lasting memories through portraiture. They have been fortunate to give back to the community throughout the 30 plus years through donations and sponsorships.
