Custom blog design for Ten Tiny Toes Photography

Friday, January 8th, 2010

The logo, right?  It’s paisley and it’s FEET!  Tiffany of OTSS designed it.  When we have a logo like this to start with, it usually sets the tone for the whole concept of the blog layout.  That was certainly the case here!  Amy’s taking off big time these days…check her out at the Ten Tiny Toes Photography blog!

Blogsite design for Red Shoe Boudoir Workshops

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Tara is a dear friend.  And was one of my first blog clients ever.  And an amazing photographer.  Especially boudoir.  And oh my gosh, get this, she is doing a workshop in Chicago this spring and I am going!  She promises me that I won’t feel like a giggly, awkward mess the whole time.  I want to learn from her and this will be a fantastic creative stretch for me.

Oh yes.  The blog.  We worked together on her workshop site.  The first step in turning a blog into a blogsite is setting the front page to a static page instead of the main blog posts page.  It goes from a blog to a homepage!  So check out the Red Shoe Boudoir Photography Workshops blogsite and sign up for the Chicago workshop…see you there!

Custom blog and splash page design for Goody Two Shoes Photography

Friday, January 8th, 2010

First things first.  Rachael did our family pics over Thanksgiving.  She did a great job and it was a fab experience for me (us, whatever).  I learned a lot from her about photography but I also learned a lot about being a photography client.

So.  The blog.  Rachael just had her logo done by OTSS so we did a custom blog and splash page based on it.  I love the touches like the signature and the overall simplicity.  You open the blog and you see what you’re looking for.  The very most recent work.  You’re instantly engaged.

I can’t take credit for much of the splash page.  It was all Rachael’s concept.  I even asked her to draw it out for me & she did!  I love the little logo elements by each link!  Check out the Goody Two Shoes Photography blog.  And for pete’s sake, book a session if you’re in the Kansas City area!

Hm.  And suddenly I wish I had a super-cute signature to sign off with….

Basic Tofurious Customization for Honey Grove Photography

Friday, January 8th, 2010

I love that this totally basic makeover ended up looking completely custom.  It shows that if you can really work the header slideshow, it really sets the tone for the whole presentation.  I think the background is my favorite part!  Check it out at Honey Grove Photography…the blog for your SWEET PEEKS.  Yeah, we went there and I’m happy we did!
