Vacation

We just returned from our annual family vacation.  My parents, my brothers, and our children spend a week at the beach together every year.  We've been doing this for 17 years.  It's so nice to have that to look forward to each year.  Now, the "children" are grown and beginning their own lives.  

It makes me realize the importance of family and spending time together as a family.  My parents are in their 80's now.  Like many of us, there are more years behind them than ahead.  All the more reason to treasure each opportunity to spend time together.

We are back in the studio and excited about the summer and fall schedule.  I think you are going to be pleased to see what we have coming up. 
 

"Pure at Heart" is our next studio offer.  It's done with a softness that speaks gentleness and purity.  You select a special Bible verse to include on the image.  We're doing these portrait sessions on Thursday, July 9th and Friday, July 10th.  Call the studio (910-392-4214) to schedule a session for your child(ren).

I'll tell you more later about what we have planned for the Christmas season.

Blessings to you!

Summer is officially here!


I can sure tell that spring is sliding by  and summer is quickly arriving.  Memorial Day has passed.  Graduation has occurred or is within the next few weeks.  Our gardens are blooming.  And, people are calling to have their portraits done.  

It's amazing how much starts to happen all at once, it seems.  We're already photographing rising seniors for the Class of 2010.  This year, we will once again offer a complimentary mini beach session for high school seniors that have their portraits photographed at Kenny Barnes Studio.  It's so much fun to meet students that are preparing to step into the next phase of their life - whether college or work.  

I know it's hard to think about Christmas now.  But, we are!  And, we are so excited about what we will be offering at Kenny Barnes Studio this year.  Of course, we will have our traditional Christmas set called "Christmas on 41st Street" at the beginning of November.   This year we will also offer a Christmas session at the beach called "Santa, the Sea, and Me".   These beach sessions will be at the beginning of October.  Santa will be making a special trip to the beach to help us out.  He'll be bringing his beach attire.  You can go ahead and call any time to schedule one or both of the sessions.
