A New Blog

Its done! I have to say I'm a little nervous but so excited! When I decided I needed a new blog and new branding I never thought how involved it would be, but I knew I needed something that better represented me, and my style of photography. I consider myself pretty outgoing and as much as I love social networking sites like Facebook, and Twitter, the blog has felt like a scary place, so I needed to make it a little more cozy for me :) I admit I'm not a writer, I rely heavily on spell check, I overuse exclamation points and smiley faces, and sometimes I have to google a word because I'm not sure that it even exists! I also type how I speak, both of which require some restraint and filtering on my part! All of this has caused me to go back and forth about making the blog more personal, leaving it strictly business (this does not work for me) or combining a bit of both and now I've  decided to just roll with it. Seriously its just crazy to worry about that sort of thing, so I'm not :) What I will do is start sharing some inspiration for weddings. There is so much more out there now to help in the planning process so every now and then when I'm browsing Ill share.

I definitely didnt do this blog on my own. My blog was designed by my design department aka Nick. aka Husband. :) He did an amazing job putting this together and I am so happy with the outcome! Its definitely more my style and I thank him for putting up with me through this process (even though he said I was the worse client ever at one point lol thanks).  The blog would also not be up and running if it weren't for Cody from CDC Designs. He worked tirelessly to code the design and incorporate elements I really wanted, like the image slide show. He was patient with all my changes and I'm loving his admin panel that is ridiculously easy to use! props for simplicity! I will be working with both of them to create a new main site and so excited about that!

Thanks for stopping by and now back to our regularly scheduled blogging.
