And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
(Colossians 3:15 ESV)

I had mentioned last week that I am getting back into portrait photography. I have been very busy over the past 4 weeks. Now I have to find a way how to make this a full-time occupation. I have some ideas, but it takes time to really get going when you work full-time in accounting.

This week, I want to share about Erin and how thankful I am to have her in my life. Even though we don’t see each other (actually we met only once in person), Erin has become my mentor. For me personally, Erin is the best portrait photographer in town. Especially when it comes to children and wedding photography. When you have time, please check out her website: Erin McFarland Photography.

You might say: “but Erin is competition”. Not really; you see the Valley of the Sun is very big and there is room for many photographers. Not only is Erin a fantastic photographer, but also a beautiful woman of God.

This upcoming weekend Erin has given me a huge gift; she is allowing me to shadow her at a wedding photo shoot. Not only can I see her in action, but I will be able to photograph too. How cool is that?!? I am very excited and especially thankful about this opportunity.

So, Erin McFarland, this week I am particular thankful for you and your generosity. You have cheered me on since I started with photography and you are a huge encourager. So, thank you!!!

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving a link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: be thankful for the people God has placed in your life; not all of them are competition.

Love & peace,
Iris
