Kukkonen, born in Muhos, Finland in 1889, arrived in Hancock, Michigan in 1903. He registered immediately at Suomi College. After learning the English language he apprenticed with the photographer, Louis Auer. He set up his own photographic studio in 1912 and captured innumerable images of Copper Country Finns and their activities. The studio was first located at 318 Quincy Street in Hancock, relocating in 1917 and finally settling in 1973 at 119 Quincy Street. Charles’ son Carl bought the store in 1955, and he and his wife expanded the business to include two stores in Houghton, one downtown (opened in 1973) and one at the Copper Country Mall (opened in 1980). All three stores were under the Hallmark Corp. Charles later sold the family business to Jim and Brenda Ferris. In about September of 1995, the original Hancock store closed.
