this is my blog.  it's where I talk about what's happening in my life.

sometimes that's my kids (we have three little people under the age of 5: Madison, Macy and Maxwell).

sometimes it's projects I'm working on or the super cool clients I get to work with.

regardless, this is where you'll find stories about each. that's really what this blog is all about - stories. it is the stories of people, projects and life that I get excited about.

    WELCOME TO THE BRAND NEW BLOG!

    DateThursday, June 18, 2009 at 11:04PM

    I'm so excited about the new blog.  One of the biggest issues I had with my blogger blog, and the way I hosted images, was that Picasa (where the images all were hosted) really over sharpened and compressed the images in a way that I really hated!  Although I tried, there just wasn't a really good way to fix it.

    As a photographer, the images are pretty important to me, and now the photographs - and the stories they tell - can take center stage.

    Plus, I love that I have total control over an amazing blog design now.  This blog was created with Squarespace, and it's amazing.  I love how the images load, and they look exactly as I wanted them to look.  I'm thrilled with how it's turned out.  

    And the best part is, it loaded all my previous posts in!

    Thanks Ron. As obnoxious as their iPhone contest is, Squarespace is an amazing blogging platform!

    Looks great! I'd only recently started following you on Twitter and had noticed that Picasa does that...so good for you on making the switch, definite improvement! I'm having a new site worked up as we speak...so if you happen across mine...don't judge too harshly. :)
