Welcome to our newly remodeled world – a very busy hub where all things photography and design meet.  The place where we showcase featured projects, favorite sessions, and the occasional giveaway.  Our blog hadn’t been touched since it first was in introduced in 2008, and it was quietly pleading with me each time I launched a new blog design for another client.  Just like my Dad, I can’t resist the puppy dog eyes.  So grab a cup of coffee, take a few minutes, and get yourself acquainted.

At the top of our list of announcements is the blog template we created especially for ProPhoto Blogs.  Have you seen it yet?

Little Miss Sunshine was released last Friday in the ProPhoto Blogs Design Store, and quickly set a weekend sales record!  Being one of the more customized templates ProPhoto offers, she boasts a truly custom feel without the matching price tag.  For those of you that can’t necessarily afford  a $3,000 custom blog, this template (and many more we plan to offer in the future) is available at a much more affordable $100!

The best part?  We created a perfectly paired marketing suite so you’re set across the board! From business stationery to invoices, facebook welcome tab to twitter background, we’re making it easy for you to establish your brand across all avenues.  You can even wow your clients with a beautifully presented virtual welcome magazine!  Go ahead – let your clients think you commissioned us exclusively for your business – we won’t tell.  The marketing suite should be available very shortly!

And finally, just when you didn’t think we had anything else new to talk about, we do!  Internet, meet Monique:

Monique is the newest addition to our team, and will be the first point of contact for new photography and design clients.  She will also be the one scheduling session appointments and projects, sending updated invoices, and keeping track of payment schedules (among other things).  It’s because of this that she’s earned the title “Client Honey Bee”.  I love many things about her, but her heart for ministry and discipleship is at the very top of my list. Both of us prayed for weeks about bringing her on, and God has confirmed and re-confirmed the decision.  Considering the fact that her official start date was yesterday, the timing couldn’t be more perfect as we’re breaking sales records and releasing new products!

I think that just about brings us up to date.  Cheers to business growth, successful product launches, and answered prayer.  Happy Tuesday!
