One of my favorite parts of owning my own business is my ability to give back to the communities I serve by volunteering my time and talents to the local organizations that make our communities a better place to live. After working with the Minnesota Heart Gallery this past year, I made a few connections with the wonderful people over at the Todd County Social Service Offices. I was very happy to help them out with the KIK-FM Radiothon to Prevent Child Abuse event happening today and tomorrow! Go HERE for more information on how you can help! We can make a difference in our communities! It just has to start with you!  

Listen tomorrow (Dec. 3rd) between 9am & 11:30am for a chance to bid on a session and 11×14 portrait from AHP!

I don’t know how many times I can say that I LOVE MY JOB! I love working with my clients and seeing their smiling faces every time I deliver their photo orders (and there have been A LOT of orders delivered over the last couple of weeks! Thanks everyone!) It’s the best feeling ever, but this type recognition and appreciation is a first for me – I am a member of a online photography forum called Photo Talk Forum. It is a resource for me to grow my photography skills, a place to bounce business ideas around with other industry professionals, and a group of people to lean on from time to time! I was very honored when contacted by Katie an Lori, the two awesome and creative ladies behind Photo Talk Forum, to be be Novembers *Be Inspired* Spotlight Member. WHAT AN HONOR!! I was so excited to share info about how I got started in photography, info about my business, where I am going, and the product I offer my clients. It’s a great feeling to be recognized by my peers in the industry! I just wanted to say thank you to my clients for being the great faces for my business, and thanks to all the people who have helped me along my crazy & fun journey to where I am today. It is the month of thankfulness you know, and I wanted to make sure that you all know how much I truly appreciate you!

So I’m not going to waste any more of your time.. Head on over to the Photo Talk Forum Blog and read what I had to share!

This past Saturday I received a little note in the mail that gave me that warm & fuzzy feeling. It was a thank you card from Grace and the wonderful people at Minnesota Heart Gallery who I wrote about in a previous post here on my blog.  I really LOVE this organization and everything that they do. It feels great to be able to be involved with an organization that gives so much to our community, especially to these kids that need the extra help to find a loving home.

The photos of the young boy I photographed are now on their website. Please take some time to take a look, and maybe even consider adoption yourself, or forward Minnesota Heart Gallery’s website to a friend that might be interested.

Here is a photo of the note I received:

Thank you Grace and MN Heart Gallery! Happy Monday everyone!
