For years now, Visual Photography has been taking yearbook pictures of Poway Unified students. Owners Stacey and Daniel Canfield are honored to do the work. “We have been blessed with the continued partnership with all five of the PUSD high schools in providing the senior portraits for each school’s yearbook,” said Stacey. “We provide this service free of charge to the high schools. Visual Photography only receives monies when families choose to purchase senior portraits.”

In thanks, Stacey and Daniel have made a point of giving back, creating the Fraternity of Academic and Civic Excellence, or F.A.C.E. program, in which they gift an additional photo session to each of the 30 seniors with the highest GPAs from all five PUSD high schools.

“In 1998, we created F.A.C.E. as a cornerstone of our long-standing mission statement,” described Stacey. “We have always believed in corporate responsibility and contributing back to an amazingly supportive community that has sustained our small, family-owned studio for over twenty-five years.”

The F.A.C.E. program does just that, providing a keepsake for each student and showcasing their photo along with a description of their accomplishments on the website, faceseniors.com. “The F.A.C.E. honor is instant recognition for high academic achievement in high school,” explained Stacey.

“It has become a prestigious community recognition that many students strive to achieve.” That’s why ZCode Magazines and Visual Photography are thrilled to be joining forces to give these seniors even wider recognition, featuring their photographs in their local zip code magazine.

“Highlighting the approximate one hundred and fifty F.A.C.E. honorees split between four of the ZCode Media publications is the perfect marriage of worthy news and positive media attention,” said Stacey.ZCode Magazines agrees. After nearly three years of celebrating the best in our communities, they are delighted to add these accomplished seniors to the pages of their magazines.“It’s an honor to play a part in the recognition these outstanding young citizens have earned,” shared Stacey. “Getting to know some of our future leaders is very humbling.”
