My new website is now LIVE!!!

I can’t tell you how scared I am to unveil this. I’m so pleased with it, it feels way more “me” and is a little piece of my soul out there on the internet. The logo (designed by my dear friend Michelle Terril) is a great match for my photography – a little cute, a bit undone, and all over charming. It’s been a long time coming.

It’s really late, I need to get to bed so go on, have a look and tell me what you think.

And it’s finally spring here! Cherry blossoms galore. Time to book a session ;)

Today marks the beginning of a year long project I am undertaking with my friend and fellow photographer, Julia Wade.Each week we are making photographs of an every day item and sharing them in a diptych. Nothing fancy, just giving ourselves something to work on just for us. A little challenge to get those creative juices flowing. And pairing my work next to hers is already pushing me to become a better photographer. Cause seriously- she’s got some talent!And without further adieu I give you week 1left- Ketti  | right- Julia

Comment #19, by Alyssa Richardson, was randomly chosen as the winner of a custom photography session and 16×20 gallery wrap canvas! Here’s the winning comment:

Wow i would love a family session for my sister, Bro-In law and their kids ( they are having a second in September). They describe themselves as the most un-photogenic people ever, so they never get photos taken, and i would love for someone to prove them wrong

I’m up for that challenge!Thanks to everyone who participated in my giveaway :)

My birthday is this Friday, and what better way to celebrate then by giving away a photography session?!Up for grabs is a 1-2 hour photo session, on-location or in your home, and a 16×20 gallery wrapped canvas.

Go ahead and follow me on Twitter too!Each entry must have it’s own comment posted here.Contest ends at 11:59pm Friday, July 23rd. Winner will be announced over the weekend. Might not be until Sunday, because I’m having a big party on Saturday! But who am I kidding, I’ll be so excited to see who won, I’ll probably post the winner at midnight. :)(I’m also giving away a camera bag on my other website!)

I finally got a new, real website set up. This one is pretty neat, I think. Clients will appreciate the private proofing galleries with online shopping, I will appreciate the simplicity! Also, sign up for email updates and new posts will be delivered to you.Here’s a picture of my 2 1/2 year old. We’re potty training while he does his holiday shopping. :)

Newer, better, cuter, awesomer!I’ve had a nice summer break and have been concentrating on my etsy business as well as working on my blog. This is not only better looking, but more organized as well, with tags and categories. I’m still playing around with it so don’t be surprised if it changes next time you look at it. There is a new session I’m working on and should be posting in the next day or two, so keep your eye out!

It may be early to begin thinking about Christmas, but in my condition, it has been in the forefront of my mind.
I am due with baby number 2 in October and will be taking maternity leave from Oct. 1 through the end of the year, during prime holiday photo season.
