&bio=Ken Sykes| Since my teenage years I have had a camera in my hand, from the High School yearbook to my days in the Navy. I can't remember a time that I didn't look at light and the way it affected my surroundings. I have been truly blessed with a passion for creating images that my customers cherish for generations. My children Ian and Kennedy are my inspiration as well as being live models, sometimes reluctantly so. They truly are the light of my life. I am very thankful to my talented and patient staff, they keep everything moving as I should. We work as a family and we treat our customers as a part of our protrait family. I feel that each day is a blessing from God and I cherish each day to it's fullest! Hi, my name is Donna Johnson. I have worked for Ken Sykes Photography Since 2003 as the Office Manager, which really means I have to keep Ken inline, this is the hardest part of my job! HaHaHa! However I do enjoy the creative parts of my job such as creating sets for photo shoots. I also make sure our customers receive their cherished portraits on time and are up to the quality we have become known for. My greatest joy is seeing our customers children grow, although when they are here I think of them as mine, for the time I get to spend with them. My other interests include painting, spending time with my beautiful daughter Montanna, as well as the rest of my family whom I cherish. Hi, I’m Rebeka. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Graphic Arts and Imaging Technology with a minor in Art. I enjoy working here at Ken Sykes Photography very much! My favorite part of the job is designing albums. It's fun to tell the story of a wedding through pictures. It is also neat to see how families grow as they come in for a new photo shoot. I am happy to help you with any questions or concerns either here at the studio, on the phone, or through email. I think our customers enjoy our professional yet relaxed atmosphere! Hello, I am Amanda Bartels. I am a recent graduate of Randolph Community College with a degree in Photographic Technology/Portrait Photography. My position here is Ken's Photographer's Assistant.

Our wedding day just flew by, but when Ken sent me the proofs, each moment of our special day was captured in beautiful detail. Recommended for wedding held on Aug 20, 2005 Ken is absolutely wonderful! Everyone felt very comfortable with him and he had creative suggestions for pictures. He was very attentative and listened to our ideas and requests. The pictures were just what we'd hoped for and his staff is great too! I highly recommend him! Recommended for wedding held on Jul 09, 2005 I do not think that I could have picked a better photographer for our wedding. I have never had more compliments about our wedding photos from friends and family. We absolutely will rememember every bit of our wedding because Ken captured every special moment. Thanks Ken!! Recommended for wedding held on Jun 18, 2005 Ken did a wonderful job. We did not feel pushed, he let us enjoy our day. I would recommend to family and friends. Thanks Ken!
