Thank You Notes During the Holidays!

I feel so blessed when I receive a thank you from a bride/groom/family, etc.  It just reminds me that I had the chance to preserve a moment in time for not just one person, but entire families and generations to come!  My mom taught me beginning at 4 years old with her camera to watch for emotions not poses... and if you are going to strike a pose make sure its stylin!  This year for Thanksgiving I am thankful for my mom, my family, and the honor of having this job.  Thank you for all those I share my time with.  Here are some thank you letters I received this week:

"Hi Joelle!
     Wow, we just got through looking at all the photographs.  They are so beautiful, I absolutely love them!  Thank you so much.  I can't wait to share all of these with family and friends.  You are truly a talented photographer and  I would recommend you over and over again.  Thanks so much!"

"Dear Joelle,
   My husband and I would like to extend a special thank you to you for the outstanding engagement and wedding photos you took of our daughter and her new husband.  You have a very special and unique talent and we are so pleased you were their photographer.  Due to the outstanding quality, we will always treasure these pictures.  Thank you also for your patience and professionalism throughout the wedding day.  It certainly helped to make the day run much smoother.  We were confident you were capturing all the details and special moments.  You definitely have a bright future in the world of photography and we wish you the best in the future."
Sincerely,
Kathy and Dan
