What I'm thankful for

I have a lot to be thankful for and I wanted to share my thoughts. Since I am a photographer and I love Photos, that's what you get :)

1. First of all, I'm thankful for this handsome man, Andy. Without him I wouldn't have started my photography business. He's been so helpful and supportive I can't even explain how much he's helped me grow as a photographer. He's always willing to help me with tips, his view of my edits/photos, even posing for my new backdrops, and more. He's taught me more about photography than I thought possible, not because he's a photographer and knows the practice but because he asks me those questions that need asked and then I have to find the answer. I am so thankful for his belief in me as a photographer and for helping me get started. He's got grand ideas about my new studio and I can't wait to get some of them into place. 

2. I'm thankful for my parents. They've always been supportive of everything I do. My mom has even been my photographer when I needed her to and she's been great to work with. She takes my feedback and persistent hassle of being a photographer in front of the lens instead of behind it very well. 

3. My Family - My sisters have let me use their family and kids as my guinea pigs / models many times. I always appreciate their willingness. I look back at photos I took years ago and compare them with where I'm at today and love the growth. Without practice and these guys I wouldn't be the photographer I am today. 

4. My very first official clients. This family was the first paying customer of mine and I'm thrilled to have them back multiple times. Their faith in me has helped me more than they will probably ever know. Thank you so much for your continued support. 

5. Repeat Customers! What photographer doesn't love repeat clients? When a Client comes back for multiple sessions we know we've done what they wanted and met or exceeded their expectations. Thank you for all of my repeat clients. I'm offering a Fall Special for previous clients only. Half off a session of your choice (Excluding weddings) any time from here until May 2014. Use Code: REPEAT when you book your session. 

6. Models - These two adorable babies were my first new born sessions. I'm very thankful for them (and their parents) willingness to give me a try and continue to allow me to photograph these adorable little girls.

7. Referrals - As a home based business with little to no advertising a photographer loves referrals. Much like repeat customers, referrals mean we are doing something right! This wonderful lady referred 3 clients to me. I can't thank them enough. 

8. New Clients - Anytime a new client comes along I know they are ultimately trusting me to capture their memories, special events, personality, and family by hiring me as their photographer. A special Thank You to all of my clients and future clients for trusting me to be your photographer. 

I hope everyone has a fabulous November and Thanksgiving this year.
