Whoops!

So recently we have been having lots of issues with our email.  We ended up making some big changes and in the process, all the images on our blog disappeared!  Whoops!  So please excuse the lack of images for now!  We will be working at re-uploading them to the blog, but it is going to take some time.  But the blog is working and we will be continuing to post new things!

Exciting News!!!

It is 2 days after Christmas and I feel like we are still settling down from all the rush and excitement of the holiday season. Autumn is on school vacation this week and it feels good to take thing a little slower this week for a change.

I feel like I have been straight out since September came around, which is when I last posted on this blog. I had a handful of autumn weddings in September and October. Then in late September, I photographed the two local preschools in our town. The fall was also filled with various family and children portraits, as well as a few senior portraits as well. Then in November, my annual holiday portrait special came around, and I had a HUGE response for this and spent the next month and a half designing Christmas cards, and placing orders for holiday gifts.

It is all wonderful! I feel blessed to have a business that is thriving in an economy that has seen better days. However, as my business has grown, I am realizing, that I can no longer wear all the hats that I am wearing. I am running a small business as well as being a stay at home mom to my two wonderful children. I have always managed to juggle both business ownership and stay at home mom, since I had already established a small photography business, when we had Autumn, 6 years ago. I have been lucky to be able to grow my business slowly, which met the needs of my family. This fall, I really started to feel unbalanced in my life. My business, was becoming busier, and it really became a struggle for me to give adequate attention to all aspects of my life. So, after much thought, discussion, and prayer, I decided to take a huge leap of faith and look for someone to join my team.

Her name is Jenna.

Jenna is a mother of three home schooled children. She lives about 2 miles away from my residential studio. She is a great friend and we have many of the same interests. She is a creative and organized person. Hear that? I said ORGANIZED.

I am really excited, and I think Jenna is too, to see where this all leads. Jenna will be helping to take off a few of the hats that I have been wearing in my business. She will be working in the areas of marketing and sales.

We will be creating a new system for viewing and ordering your portraits, that will help us to serve you better. Customer service has always been a very important part of my business model.

Maybe, as next fall rolls around, I will feel some more balance.

So expect to see her smiling face around here!

New Website!

So excited that I finally have my new website up and running! It was alot of work but so much fun! Hope you enjoy it!

New Logo!

I am very excited to introduce my new logo that I have been working on with a friend designer!
I love it!
I felt like over the last few years, as my business has grown and developed, I have come into my own style of photography and wanted something that expressed that.
It will take a little while for me to change everything over to the new design, but I could not wait to share it with you all!
