THANK YOU THURSDAY!

My very first thank you for "Thank You Thursday" has to go to a wonderful, talented, & caring photographer named Millie Holloman. I have known Millie for some time now, we met along time at a bridal event that she was photographing at a store I worked in Camille La Vie. After that we would run into each other on and off, but it wasn't till Millie contacted me because she heard I made birdcage veil and she really wanted to have one for models during her Love Affair Workshops. I jumped at the offer to help out, my rewards have been wonderful pictures and friendship with her. So since then, I have helped out in 2 other workshops, and hope to do more. Millie business has grown so much, I admire her so much. She maybe younger than me, but I look up to her in many ways. She now has a fantastic team of photographers, I have been fortunate to have received pictures from them too. Its a very talented bunch over there at MHP!

Beside her Love Affair Workshop, which she and her friends who happen to be amazing photographers came together to share there knowledge of photography with women, and only women. If you want more info on Love Affair go to http://www.loveaffairphoto.com/

This last year Millie has added a new fun service called Truth Booth. You really have to check out this website (http://www.truthboothphoto.com/) and enjoy all the pictures. Just think you can have a relative like dear old Aunt Betty, or Grandpa Joe put on a funny pair of glasses or a silly hat and take a fun picture. More wonderful memories of your special day!

I really want to send a big THANK YOU to Millie, I truly appreciate all you have done for me! I feel blessed to have met you and worked with you! Many wishes to you and your wonderful team and I am here if you every need me!

You can get in touch with Millie or just go and check out all her beautiful artwork or I meant photography http://www.millieholloman.com/

THANK YOU THURSDAYS !!

I have wanted to start these series of blogs for awhile now. I am so thankful and blessed for all the people that help me, supported me and just cheered me on. Like family, friends, photographers, store owners, old managers, other vendors, I can go on and on. So I though what a great way to express how I feel about all these wonderful people is to pick someone each week to write about them and how they helped me or just how I feel. Also it is a great way to share about there business and spread the word for them too!

To start this week I will just say a simple THANK YOU to my very supportive, understanding, and loving husband!! He is always there to help me, trust me he has cut, glued, typed, and tied plenty, more times than I am sure he would have liked. But most of all he is such a devoted father to my two wonderful boys, that with all his help with them, I could not do what I do!!

So keep checking back every Thursday, I will do my best to keep this up.....I have so many people to share, I will need a year of Thursdays!!!
