Yikes! After blogging so much last week, I feel like I haven’t been around in a few days. The honest truth is, that I HAVE been around internet….but in the background. I switched off my Facebook chat and yahoo chat, and I’ve been hunkering down getting work done! The workshop is fast approaching, I’ve been working on some updates around here (more on that in a minute) and I’ve been neglecting my house. Yep, that’s right. I estimate that it will take me an entire day to pick up the clutter, clean and get things back to normal around here.
So first off, there’s been some minor changes, to my little blog, and some more will come shortly! I’m very excited about them! First off, as you can see to your left I have some great sliding information bars, that keep you up to date without having to go back to specific posts I’ve done. ”New Stuff” is the past 10 posts I’ve written for quick and easy navigation. ”Promotions” let my clients know the current promotions and fun things that are going on in my studio. I also have a new “Workshop” tab to keep all workshop information up to date without having to write a whole post on it. In about 2 weeks I’ll be giving my first workshop to other photographers and I’m so excited for the people that are coming, I can’t wait to meet everyone! Lastly, I have finally started a Facebook Fan Page. Thank you David for finally talking me into it. Over the next few months, the galleries will be moved over from my personal Facebook page and I’ll be talking more business stuff over there. We have some great discussion areas so come and be a fan of my Facebook page or follow me on Twitter!
Next I have some great new ways to display my images on here! I love to post lots of pictures, especially from weddings, but felt like my posts got to be a jumbled scroll of infinity. Now I can post all the images in a slideshow or lightbox format and I’m SO excited about it! I’ll also be featuring different weddings and sessions very very soon and they’ll have thier own tab at the top of the page!
And now for the biggest changes…..my portfolio’s. I’ve been working very hard over the past year to get some great shots for my portfolio, showcasing what I deliver to my clients! I now have a new portfolio page, designed by MOI! And updated galleries to showcase my work. These are truly portfolio’s as most of my pricing and other information is still found here on the blog. Two of the 4 galleries are done….Weddings and Lifestyle. The other ones, Seniors and Commercial are still in the works so I’ve just linked them to categories on here for now
I have some BIG plans for seniors this year and those portfolio’s will get my full attention after the workshop.
Let’s see what else is there to say. I thoroughly enjoyed Becker’s live chat today with Jasmine Star, both of these people are very positive and inspirational to so many photographer’s, including me! My little Kasen is totally obsessed with Thomas the Train THE MOVIE and watches it AT LEAST 2 times a day. Tomorrow night I get to go to my first Pinewood Derby, as Braedon is in scouts this year and has his first race. I’m so glad that Nathan was home to help him with building the car and weighting it properly because if we’re being totally honest, I have no idea neither an inkling of interest to do that…..THANKS NATE! hmmmm lastly, my desk looks like a bomb of papers hit it, and I’m frantically searching for a great accountant in the Seattle area, so if you read this blog, and are in the Seattle area with a great accountant, PLEASE! Share the love
Here’s some screen shots of some of the changes around here for your viewing pleasure, or better yet, you can click on the Portfolio tab at the top of the page and view them for yourself! OH and there’s only 3 1/2 more days to vote on the wedding images! Happy Thursday everyone.
