Ebby turns 97!

Happy Happy Birthday Ebby!
Last week this sweet lady who founded
Ebby Halliday Realtors
over 60 years ago gave me the
opportunity to come to
her home and take a candid portrait or two!
What a treat it was, and she was so gracious
to take time out of her busy schedule to
indulge this budding photographer!

Even at 97 Ebby is on the go
just about every day! She is in
demand as a speaker at functions
and benefits and is always so willing to give
of her time and herself. She is a major
supporter of the Collin County
Child Advocacy organization among others.
Ebby has given so much opportunity
to others over the years through
her company and is an inspiration to
us all, to give of ourselves
and to stay busy and active
in our lives. Last year
she was awarded the Horatio Alger Award
and attended the ceremony in
the White House.This year
she was given the Linz Award
here in Dallas.

Ebby has always been so kind and patient to pose with agents as they come
through Ebby School and as she visits my office, I always get to snap a few
photos of anyone who would like their photo taken with her. She often comes
to our office parties and is happy to let me snap photos of everyone there with her.
So, it just seemed natural for me to ask her if she would allow me to come do a
portrait session in her home, in her own surroundings. It was alot of fun, and
my first "celebrity" shoot! Thank you so much Ebby for being so gracious and
giving to us all.
