I get the honor of working with some truly amazing people and I have the opportunity to create something unique. In April, I was contacted by a wonderful woman named DaniElle had contacted me about creating a photo montage for her mother's 80th birthday. While we don't specialize in this sort of thing, I accepted the task with open arms. I met up with her husband to pick up the photos and got to work scanning them in right away. As I worked, I learned a lot about this entire family and the wonderful relationships they have. Her mother and father are one of the cutest, happiest couples I have seen, and their 8 children are all so beautiful and unique in their own ways. It amazed me how much I felt like I knew them all! When it was finished, I called DaniElle and talked with her about about the completed project. She was excellent to work with and I just felt like I have known her for years. Because things were rushed (I received the photos on Tuesday and completed it for Saturday), I was nervous that things would be more difficult. BUT it turned out great and the family loved it. Here is a link to check it out...
Shirley's 80th Birthday Montage
Then yesterday, I received a phone call from Dawn (all of the children have the initials "D" "E" - cool huh?), one of DaniElle's older sisters. They would now like me to create another montage for their dad for Father's Day. As I was talking to Dawn, she was explaining to me that her dad is in the early stages of dementia and they wanted to create a wonderful montage that he could appreciate. As she was in tears, so was I! I understand how tough it is to see someone so close suffer from such a difficult disease! My Pappy passed 6 years ago, after suffering for years with dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. I am very honored to be a part of helping to create so many happy memories for this family!!!
So today, I received in the mail the photos for her dad's montage. WOW! I thought I had learned almost everything about them before, but these are all new photos with the family and they are every bit as spectacular!!! This family has inspired me to try to stay closer to the little family that I have. With 8 brothers and sisters, they are always together, spending time and enjoying one another... what an amazing family they are! I will post Dad's Montage when it is done and I thank you... the entire family... for the inspiration to do something different in my line of work and to cherish each day with my family!!!
