We are getting ready to create a new photo directory and we need you to help make it complete! Our directory will showcase our families, provide contact information, and become a useful resource to keep us connected. By participating, you will receive a printed and electronic version of the new directory and an 8x10 photograph of your family.

Sign up for your professional photography! There will also be a signup table in Patten Hall on Sundays beginning September 30th. Our church’s photography sessions are scheduled for November 1st - 3rd and November 5th - 8th and will be in Room 203 & 205 of the Education Building. It takes a maximum of one hour for your appointment. In that hour, you will check in, have photographs taken, view images, select one image for the directory & your complimentary picture, and make any other purchases. If you have questions, contact Melissa in the church office at melissa.clapp@palmschurch.org / 904-246-0594, extension 225. Our directory won’t be complete without you. Sign up today!

Lifetouch is our photography company and they aim for natural, interactive poses. Regarding clothing choices, they recommend that you be yourself and wear something you are comfortable in. They say a good rule of thumb is “adults neutral colors, children bright colors” and suggest we avoid non-coordinating patterns and the “everybody wearing jeans & white shirt or the same outfit” thing. In addition, they mentioned that thin stripes can sometimes photograph in an odd way. Since some poses will be full length, make sure shoes coordinate with outfits.

As a way to tell your story, Lifetouch often photographs families and individuals with meaningful items such as pets, special keepsakes, sports equipment, musical instruments, and more. You are welcome to bring your meaningful items to your Palms photo session! In addition to receiving the printed and electronic Palms directory and the free 8x10 photograph of your family, other photographs and greeting cards can be purchased. We hope to see you in November and in our directory!
