The Big Thank You

2008, was a fast forward year for me and Lucas. Most of you know the facts, Our wedding, Barnett closed, Inspired Portrait was born, A home/business search, a big move, and coming soon….a big remodel(for the new studio) I’ve promised a thank you blog. This Big Thank you goes out to the people in our lives who had a direct effect on the purchase of the new home/business space, as well as those who impacted Lucas and I starting up Inspired Portrait Photography.

Tonya & Chad Grunewald-referred us to
Craig Bode & First National Bank -who looked at the business plan
(Lynn Wunderlich encouraged us to write) and then he financed us the house that
Andrew Kolars helped us find

And of course it’s more then just them, it was our parents, our friends, our clients, our close relatives, my professional photographer colleagues who encouraged us to keep going….the list is certainly endless.
