Editor’s Note: I met Kathy Conn three months ago when I started working at MSGPR. She is our office manager; however, through conversation I learned she is also the other half of Dottie Loo – a photography and personalized monogramming business. The other half of Dottie Loo is her daughter Jennifer. Kathy showed me her work and I thought it was completely wonderful. I knew she was the next person I wanted to showcase in our Spotlight series. Not only is Kathy a talented individual, she is a positive, sweet, and one amazing woman. Keep reading to learn more about Kathy Conn!
The Spotlight series will feature one person each month who is making a difference in East Texas, and we will have the opportunity to get to know that person a little bit better. If you would like to nominate someone, please email us at info@TexasForestCountryLiving.com.
