Seasons Greetings and our new logo!!! Welcome to the final newsletter of 2010! With the calendar year winding down, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of my family, friends, fans, and everyone else who has shown me support! The growth of my business, e drake photography, has been more than I could have imagined. I greatly appreciate all the generosity and patronage that I have received throughout this endeavor! With our second official year beginning in November, I decided to change the logo of the company to the image pictured at the right. Thanks again and Happy Holidays! EJ Drake
A message from my wife Tabitha I would like to say thank you to my family, friends, and clients for all your support during this time of transition. I have found a new salon and I am really excited about it! Right now, it is being remodeled and I should begin there closer to February. I will get more info to you all the closer it gets to opening. I feel truly lucky to have all the support and that you all are standing by me. So, until then, just let me know how I can help you. Thanks again! Tabitha

Topeka Chamber of Commerce/Business Team The e drake photography business team is proud and excited to announce its newest member, Lindsay Fritch! The team was able to attend the Topeka Chamber of Commerce‟s Business After Hours in November and had a great time at their photo booth (images can be seen at http://edrakephotography.blogspot.com/2010/11/topeka-chamber-of-commercebusiness.html ) e drake photography was also asked to take portraits and be apart of the Topeka Chamber of Commerce‟s “We Did It and So Can You” campaign (the ad, seen at the left, features three portraits I took of Topeka business owners. My portrait was taken by Tiffany Pryor). This ad can be seen in the latest issue of TK magazine which is available at various local stores and online at tkmagazine.com
City of Topeka’s Small Business Saturday Proclamation Another great surprise during the month of November, The Mayor of Topeka asked me to represent my business and receive a proclamation during the November 23rd Topeka City Council meeting. The proclamation declared Saturday, November 27th as „Small Business Saturday‟ in Topeka as part of a greater nationwide effort to support small businesses. It was a great honor to be asked to represent my business in that prestigious fashion. More about „Small Business Saturday‟ and a video of a short speech I presented that night can be seen at: http:// edrakephotography.blogspot.com/2010/11/topeka-city-council-small-business.html
