Blogsite design for photographer Kelly Willette

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

When Kelly contacted me about designing a blogsite for her, I hesitated.  I wasn’t sure I could handle such a big client.  She’s kind of a big deal.  A really big deal.  She’s a rock star photographer.  She’s a workshop instructor.  She’s published a ton of goodies for photographers from templates (check out her Friday Freebies!) to posing guides to her workshop workbook.

But she has been  awesome to work with.  She knew what she wanted and her ability to keep things simple but effective is nothing short of admirable. We did a simple custom layout with a sidebar.  I love that post divider!

I’ve really enjoyed following her blog since it launched and am hoping to do the Finding the Joy e*course that starts in June!

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!

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….
