A New Team Member

We couldn't be more excited to introduce you to Kristen Thomas, our new Studio Manager. It is our hope that all of you get to work with this wonderful person in the near future. She brings a lot to the table and will help make this studio run much more efficiently.  - Dave and Tonya

Hello!  My name is Kristen Thomas and I recently joined the WWP team.  I thought it would be fun to introduce myself in an acrostic style post.  Enjoy!

T - Ten Things I Do Everyday : Make my bed, Watch the Today Show, Make a list, Complete at least 2 household chores, Check Facebook, Read and Snuggle my daughter Claire, Read something for myself, Talk to or Text my hubby @ work, Create something (dinner, a craft, wrap a present, etc.) and Pray.

E - Excitement : My hobbies include scrounging around at garage sales for the perfect inexpensive treat, painting stools for children (take a peak if you'd like...Stool Pictures), spending time with family and friends, gardening, reading, cooking and baking, taking pictures of my daughter and playing golf.  

A - Academics :  I have a master's degree in education (also the reason for the style of post) and taught 2nd grade in North Branch, MN for six years.  I'm passionate about reading instruction and believe that we must read to our children from the day they are born if we want to help them become a successful student and a life-long reader. 

M - My Journey to WWP :  In 2007 my husband (then bf) asked me to marry him.  Meeting Tonya and Dave at the Twin Cities Bridal Fair was meant to be!  Our wedding day was perfect and thankfully we have the awesome album and prints to prove it.  Just recently our paths crossed again and I feel so lucky to write that my interest in photography and their vacancy equaled an exciting fit. At WWP I will be sharing many responsibilities with Tonya and Dave.  Some include writing blog posts, updating our fans on Facebook and Twitter, organizing new and upcoming campaigns, scheduling appointments and helping all to realize the wonderful service the studio provides! I can't wait to interact with you!
