James has always had a creative perception on the world around him. In 2000 James & Lori started Larimore Photography, a very small portrait studio based out of the Larimore’s Garage. In the beginning James would occasionally snap a few photos or review photos that Lori had been working on. After the purchase of the business’s first digital camera, James started to take more of an interest in photography. Learning the basics from his wife and a lot of trial and error, James began developing his own style. In 2005, Larimore Photography purchased Branson Photo which opened the door to a vast collection of photography information and application. James continues to capture the amazing world around him through what he calls “Light Manipulation”. A farm boy from Conway, Missouri, James was awarded the opportunity to attend College of the Ozarks in the Fall of 1996. In late 1997 James met his wife Lori, and the two were married in the summer of 1998. After graduating, James accepted a position as a third grade teacher at Branson Elementary School. February of 2002 James and Lori welcomed their first child, Chase. Life changed as they knew it! In June of 2006 Grace joined the Larimore family only to be followed by, Malerie in November 2009. James continues to teach 4th grade at Branson Elementary East. He is known for his personality and his connection to students as well as instilling creativity with lessons and technology. James’ continued focus in life is Christ, and will be until he is called home from his journey.
