Why Should I Hire a Professional Wedding Photographer For My Wedding?

That is a GREAT question, and one that deserves a honest answer.
Your wedding photos are a precious keepsake of an event that can't be repeated. As you make plans for the big day, perhaps you're wondering: "Who should be responsible for taking the pictures? After all, Uncle Henry (or that artsy friend) takes nice pics at our family gatherings. He or She might be willing to give it a try." Well, maybe he would. And it's great to have friends and family members taking pictures at the wedding , too. But before you call on Uncle Bob to be your official photographer, give some thought to how his efforts may stack up against those of a professional wedding photographer team such as Allen and Autumn of Thomsen Photography

Uncle Henry(or that artsy friend) is doing you a favor, so how demanding can you be?

Photographers go to Church!

We wanted to take a moment to share with you something very important to us that will rarely be mentioned on this blog as this blog was set up for the purpose of sharing about our Photography business, and the things that go along with that. However, today I will go outside the arena of our photography business a bit. But not so much, because God is the giver of all things good, including our ability to serve as photographers here in Eagleville. Today We heard the new candidate for the full time ministers position that is open at The First Christian Church of Eagleville (Disciples of Christ) Max Pettyjohn is his name and his sermon today was from the heart. Max is here from Durham North Carolina. His wife and son where here with him today as well. The sermon he gave was from the book of Luke when Zacchaeus the tax collector had climbed the sycamore tree to have a better view of Christ as he passed that way. His talk was inspirational, tactful, and we believe it was from the heart. Next Sunday November 29th we will vote for or against Mr. Pettyjohn as the full time Minister. We ask for prayer concerning our vote next week that God's will takes place.
Regards,
Allen and Autumn

Patsy Ruth Lyons Gilliland

The funeral today was Patsy Ruth Lyons Gilliland. My sister married her son. I have known Patsy or Pat as we called her since I was only a small child. She was nice to me every time I was ever around her. She always had a smile and made you feel welcome. To those that love her, I am sorry for your loss, but I know she needed relief from her suffering. We had some copies of this photo at the funeral home, If you want us to make you another, or you want one of the "couples" photo's at the funeral, just let us know. With this one, you can right click and save it to your computer and then use it how you want. Again if you'd rather we made copies of it for you just let us know. Larry, Bobby, Allen, and Paul, We will keep you in our prayers. It has been three years since my mother passed away and I can tell you this. The pain fades and the memories of the good times swell up in your heart and you can think about all those wonderful times with your mom without the sadness. You won't stop missing her, but you will have happiness in your heart when you think of her.
We love you.
Allen and Autumn

Thoughts of the Hollidays.

As I grew up on the old farm I remember loving the warm summer days playing as little boys do with bugs and discovering the amazing diversity of life out there in the pastures that were home to our dairy cows. I remember running barefoot on the paths the cows made through the tree's along the small runoff forever known as " the crick". Oh the memories... Well, here we are getting ready for the winter of 09/10. Halloween is behind us (I think allot of kids are still sugar buzzing!!!) Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Now when I think of Thanksgiving I think of allot of things. Of course there are the dinners with the Turkey, the Dressing, the cranberry's the pies and all the goodies that go with that. At our house when I was growing up, we were poor. And when I say poor, I mean sometimes we were literally completely broke. I can remember struggling through those times, I can remember the hand me down clothes. It's all we had. I can remember those hard times very clearly. BUT, When Thanksgiving came around, we always celebrated with vigor! I was taught that no matter how hard life seems, NEVER forget to be thankful for what you have. You have breath in your lungs. You have the dream of a better day in your heart! Those are gifts! We all have bad things in life that seem unfair. Shoot they don't just SEEM unfair... They ARE unfair! My Mother once told me, " Be sure your not gauging your life by what you don't have" Meaning of course, to be happy for what you have, even if what you have is just that dream of a better day! At least when that hope exists you might have the drive to make the changes necessary to have that better day!

Our business demands we get ready for Christmas with our Christmas Package Special on November 21st (follow this link for details)

But Thanksgiving is next! And Thanksgiving Is such an important day! Don't let it pass without at least a moment to reflect and be thankful!!!!
