The Voice of Portraits

We  have always operated our studio with the idea of ministering to others at every opportunity. This week our outreach has extended to sharing the emotional value of portraits with a presentation to the Rotary Club of Western Forsyth and on WDSL AM's morning radio program. 

But the icing on the Valentine cupcake was our visit to Davie County Senior Services this afternoon. Several months ago , they booked us as the speaker for their Valentine's Day Party.  Now, we love all seniors...from the vibrant, creative High School Seniors to the wiser, mature Senior Citizens. I also love to to talk (especially about photography) so we planned on taking our presentation, "A 1000 Words~Photography That Speaks To The Heart" to a dozen or so senior citizens, probably seated in folding chairs.  
Were we ever surprised when we arrived at their  beautiful facility and saw the room filling up with over 125 alert, active adults adorned in their finest red sweaters, vests, and jackets for their Valentine's party! Not only did they have the most modern amenities including an excellent AV system, a kitchen with a health inspection score of 102, an exercise room and more, they also had an events calendar that would make your head spin! There were art classes, woodworking, movie night, Tai Chi, scrapbooking, field trips, several clubs and other classes...whew! I LOVE what I do, but I'm looking forward to my golden years,  when I'll actually have time to participate!         -Anne
