This is why we do what we do....

I just got this incredibly sweet email from April Elliot, one of the people that came to our WPPI presentation on "Standing our in the Photography Industry." We've actually been getting lots of emails and even thank you cards in the mail, so thanks you SO much everyone for your encouraging words. Here's April's email:

Hi Anna, Hi Michael,

I just wanted to send you a quick email to say "hi" and "thanks". The "hi"
is because I recently joined Photo for the People and will probably be
posting soon (if I can get the nerve to!) The "thanks" is simply because I
was in the audience during your WPPI Platform Class and I was really
inspired and totally impressed with you as people, as professionals, and
as photographers. I sat close to the front as your class was one I was
really looking forward to. I've "followed" your work (gosh, do I sound
like a blog stalker or what!?) and was excited to see how you do things
and what you'd be like in person. I loved every minute of your
presentation. I laughed, I was inspired, I was excited about the next
steps for my business, and I felt connected! Hearing you talk about your
relationship and how you work the business together
(ie: Michael: "I think we should do __________."
Anna: "Okay."
Michael: "Okay ... you do it." (insert smile here)

It was hilarious. It was like looking into my husband and my life and the
way we are together for the business. We seriously say the exact same
things all the time!
Anyways, I definitely think we're going to implement some of your ideas
simply because they made so much sense. We're actually just in the process
of interviewing assistants because we were inspired by you!

Thanks again, so much, for being such genuine, fun, and generous people. I
know that the photographic community is definitely stronger because you're
a part of it.

Warmly,

April Elliott
