New to the forum, but not to the industry...

[fran reisner]

Hello. Just found out about you all when Abel sent me an email last week. Looks like a good group and I love that you're all so willing to share with one another. Your Mommy's taught you well. That's not true of the entire photography industry.

I've been in the business a LONG time. Let's just say it's been over 20 years, and when it's been over 30 I can still say it's been over 20 right?!

So... the name really is Fran Reisner, aka Frantic Fran. I own and operate a photography studio which I built on my property in Frisco. Pretty ideal... short commute and I can go to work in my jammies if I can't sleep

Feel free to check out my website at www.franreisner.com If you go to the "Sharing the Passion" page you'll see the studio as well as other items of interest for photographers.

I'm aiming to be at the tiger shoot on Saturday, so hope to meet some of you then!

I just read your fabulous write up in the Dallas Morning News today (I'm a bit behind b/c I think it was Monday's edition right?). Of course I had to check your site out asap. Very impressive resume and your studio is amazing!

I'm new here too and I'm also very impressed by the willingness to share information with other local photographers here. I've been on international sites that weren't as willing to share with people across the country or even in other countries. I hope to meet you on Saturday!

OMG!!! Your Work is AMAZING! There is one pic in your slide show that has a little girl dressed up as a bride and a grown Woman on her wedding day looking back at the little girl through the mirror. PLEASE share how you did that?!?!

It is called "dreams of Tommorow" That photo really touched my heart!

Greetings neighbor!

Looking forward to seeing some of your work here.

Hey Mandy, Cynthia, Todd, Paul, Gina, Harris, Abel, Thomas and Scott... thank you again for the friendly welcome. If any of y'all (haven't been in Texas that long, but I'm gettin' it!) are ever in my neck of the woods, please give a call and stop by the studio for a visit. I stopped by ALL Y'ALL'S (gettin' good aren't I!) profiles... what an interesting bunch of folks. One thing I've always loved about photographers, whether full time or not, is that we're all so different; light, dark, young, old, male, female, from all different walks of life, with completely differnt views on things, completely different styles and levels... but we share a common passion, and that passion bonds us in a way that you just don't find anywhere else. Y'all need to hit a few photography conventions. OMG! You'll go crazy. PPA National is in San Antonio next January. The tradeshow alone will knock your socks off!

Anyway, thanks again. I hope to meet up with you sometime! Enjoy your day! ~Fran

Hey again Fran...
One thing you may be missin in the Texas lingo dept, is "Fixin To'.
When you can just automatically incorporate 'Fixin To' into your every day conversations...You're there!

[fran reisner]

That's a tough one, but I use it now and then... and always with a smile :-)
