I'm still processing these images from Jillian's maternity shoot from last week, but I couldn't wait to share a few of my favorites. Enjoy.

My first Client Website part 2

Yay! I did it.

As promised I've embedded the my first client website here.

I did this session Sunday morning. Thank you to my dear friend Ashleigh for orchestrating it. It was quite an undertaking to get five individual couples living in three different cities together for a photo shoot. The session comprised of Ashleigh's family as well as her husband, George's. You might recognize one couple, Patrick and Liz, as one of my brides and grooms from earlier this summer. They were seasoned pros at this photo thing, but honestly, they all were amazingly cooperative and everyone had a lot of fun. Thanks for being so awesome guys.

(You'll also notice that I snuck one image into my new header. I just had to do it.)

I put the disclaimer in that these images were SOTC (Straight Out of The Camera,) but I wanted to put together something quickly for them to view. See, Patrick is getting ready to go overseas with the army next week. A perfect time to try out my new Showit Sites. This way they can enjoy their photos. In the mean time I can go in and put on the polish.

My first client website

So I made my very first client website. It is very basic, but at the same time I think it turned out well. I'll probably embed it in the blog but for now you can view it by clicking the link below.

New Banner!

Just a quick post announcing the new image banner on my blog. If you're reading this through a news reader hop on over to the actual blog and check it out. I'm curious to see what you think.

This is just one of a long list of changes I was hoping to make. Of course there is a bit of learning curve with these things, but I'm getting there.

I'd hoped to also have a full fledged website completed by the end of this weekend. Yeah....that didn't happen. It turns out, had to totally reprogram my brain to think multi-directionally. That was the real challenge.

Incidentally, I'm using Show-it Fast to create all the flash content. It wasn't as intuitive I had hoped, but like I said, I really had to learn to think differently. The software really does have some nifty features such as the ability to generate embedible (is that a word?) code by just by selecting the portion of the page you want to use. That's how I did the banner.

hello old friend

Hello little blog. How loyal you are to sit here, and wait for me to visit and give you a new post. It's been way too long. I promise I have new things to share with you...soon.
