Kids At Heart Photography Grants Franchise Inside the Washington DC Beltway

Hamilton, NJ, June 15, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Vernon Stansbury of Springfield VA was recently awarded a Kids At Heart Photography franchise and will provide youth photography services inside the Washington DC beltway. His franchise area consists of the Greater Washington DC area including parts of Virginia and Maryland. Kids At Heart is excited to grant Vernon Stansbury the first franchise in the Washington DC/VA/MD area.

Kids At Heart Photography, Inc. is the premier leader in the school and youth photography markets, with 16 years of "capturing children's smiles". Founded in 1991, Kids At Heart is the alternative to the typical "point & click" school and sports photographers. Kids At Heart’s attention to detail, service, flexibility, and love for children sets them apart from other children photography companies. As a result, Kids At Heart Photography has successfully photographed over one million children.

Joining Vernon in his Kids At Heart franchise will be his daughter Nicole Elaine and son Vernon III. Vernon states, “Over the past twenty five years, as an entrepreneur, I have invested long hours in building a successful business. This was after spending fifteen years in corporate America as a professional manager in Fortune 500 companies. The Kids At Heart franchise will afford me the opportunity to significantly reduce the number of hours that I work each week while generating a respectable income during my retirement years and a long term future income for my children.”

Vernon Stansbury founded Scientific and Commercial Systems Corporation (SCSC) in May 1983, a professional and technical services government contracting firm located in Falls Church Virginia. Vernon has been responsible for all aspects of business development and operations of his multimillion dollar organization. “I am a hard working workaholic that prefers to do things right the first time. I believe that I and my staff should always strive to live and perform according to a motto I coined many years ago, ECE through CMI – Exceed Client Expectations through Continuous Measurable Improvements. Service to satisfied customers is what made our company successful in the past, and will make our Kids At Heart franchise successful in the future.”

Due to the growth in the youth photography market, Kids At Heart made the decision to expand - by bringing a few qualified franchisees into the picture. Kids At Heart started offering franchises in March 2006. "When we decided to franchise our business, our goal was to surround ourselves with the most talented and successful people in the marketplace. Vernon Stansbury and his team brings enormous success and talent to our organization and will help us achieve our goals," says Michael Stewart, COO of Kids At Heart Franchise Services. "We were contacted by many people interested in the Greater Washington DC area. After meeting Vernon, we immediately knew that he had the necessary traits to become a successful Kids At Heart franchisee."
