{First off, please don’t forget about the giveaway – one couple shoot in Anchorage, one in Vancouver and one in Chicago will be given away!}

I have a brand new website! I can’t stop staring at it! I think its just so me…which is exactly what I was hoping for in my new site. I wanted to dedicate one post to thanking the people who I worked with along the way, because I worked with some lovely and talented people!

I started off by working with my friend and talented graphic designer Alicia Sturdy. She sat down with me a few times to hear about my style, what direction I want to take with my work, the type of clients I work with…and then pulled that information together to create my new logo. I think its perfect, and it helped me define my brand in a new way.

Next I had a portrait session of my own with Vanessa Andres, in Vancouver BC…let me tell you, it was weird to be on the other end of the camera! The only high quality photos I had of myself were the ones taken on our wedding day (also by Vanessa) so it was just time for an update.

The final big step was the new website!! I knew that I would be using Showit this time, so that was the easy part – the hard part was finding a designer who could create the kind of finished product that I was dreaming about. I had heard great things about Spilled Milk Designs from some other photographers, then called and spoke to Nick (the owner). After that conversation I knew that it would be a great fit, and it was! I could not have been happier with my experience. I worked with Kara, and she was amazing. Seriously. She was creative and flexible and professional. She took my visions and made them reality…something that didn’t prove to be all that easy to do. Thank you so much Kara! You are the best, and I am so thrilled with my new site!
