New Logo

After a few months of mulling it over, I have decided to upgrade my logo. Although I wanted it to be unique, I had always heard that simpler is better--and to be honest, I was always a bit on the fence about whether or not my name was legible enough.

This week when I was ordering some sticker labels, I was forced to take one more good hard look at what I had, and I decided to start playing around with it.

I didn't reinvent the wheel. I kept the bird and the dot, but just changed my name font to something a lot easier to read! It will probably take me a few days to get it changed out on my site and my documents, but anyway, here's the "official" unveiling:

Becker

I've been photographing Becker ever since his newborn portraits. Everytime I'm working on his pictures I want to get lost in his big brown eyes. It was his dad's idea to have him sit on the paint can... so cute!!


Becker was so happy and easy to work with that the session flew by. We got all the shots we needed in around twenty minutes! We even used a few minutes at the end to snap some shots of the two of them together for his dad's facebook profile pic!

Whitney

OK... Just for the record -- children's and family portraiture is STILL my focus!! However, on Monday I shot another calendar. These turned out so great I just had to post a handful. Whitney is giving the calendar to her hubby as a birthday gift. He is a soldier who will be returning to Iraq soon; and...this is just a hunch, but I think he's really going be happy he has it with him while on duty!!



Once again, it was a really fun shoot. Whitney brought her two sisters along for their advice and support, and it went really smoothly. We referred to retro pin ups for poses, and also came up with some good ones on our own!! Whitney did a great job. She looks stunning in every image and I can't wait to hear about her husband's reaction to the calendar!
