The day has finally come! If you have been following me on Facebook then you know how excited I have been for this launch. It has been over a year in the making. A year of agonizing, thinking, dreaming, being introspective, and really narrowing down how to best reflect myself and my photography style through my new brand. When putting keywords I kept stumbling across words like “authentic”, “global”, “missional”, “clean”, “modern”, and a few others. And what you see on this blog and on our new website is what I came to. I could not be any happier with how it all came out!

The new website is through Showit, which I have grown to LOVE. I have been contemplating for a while whether or not to use them but after looking through the options and realizing how customizable it all is, I jumped in head first. I came up with most of the design concepts and layouts but then my good friend, Alex, has been hard at work for the last 2 months to put it all together and add some fun things that I couldn’t have come up with myself.

The blog is through ProPhoto Blogs which I have also grown to love! I did all of the graphic design and customization myself which was a ton of fun to play around and work with. One of the main things I was looking for in a blog was for the comment box to be easily accessible so that it is easier for you to join in the conversation (hint, hint). The customization possibilities really were endless with the ProPhoto template which made it a no brainer for me to use!

The head shots, as you know, were done by Justin and Mary Marantz, good friends whose work I love. I can’t thank them enough for perfectly conveying the vibe we were going for.

So with this launch of our new brand I wanted to do a little giveaway! So here it is, we are going to give away a $75 iTunes gift card and any In Stock item from Swanky Stitch (camera straps, lens friends, etc). We love iTunes and we love Swanky Stitch so this giveaway was a given. No pun intended 😉 So now onto the goodies….
