Photography: a New Site, and a Much Happier Photographer

So most of you know that aside from fashion blogging, I have joined up with my husband as a photography team. I’ve been testing several different options for an online porfolio that includes a blog — because, you know, blogging is my jam — and I had settled on a mediocre platform that was focused towards photography portfolios. But I really didn’t like the way it was set up, and how you had to actually edit the site every time you wanted to share a blog post. Uploading photos was complicated, inserting images into the posts was a chore, and random spaces showed up in my posts which… was pretty darn annoying.

Finally, I decided to heck with photography-centered websites, I was just going to use what I know and love. So here we are. I’ve switched to a free wordpress site which will hopefully eventually be self-hosted, but for now… free is all I can afford. I’m already 100% happier with how it works and looks than I was with ANY of the portfolio-type sites I tried.

And, while I am DYING to share the two weddings we shot last month and this month, they’re not quite complete in editing yet. So for now, I’m updating with old favorite shoots — starting with my brother’s engagement session — and also sharing a few that somehow never got blogged on the site that I hated! There isn’t much up yet, but it’s a start!

Christina’s senior portrait session remains one of my favorites. I’m hoping to have at least one of each type of session we offer up by next week. Delving into old photoshoots has been so fun, though! I can definitely see where I have improved, which is really encouraging.

I hope you are all having a happy Wednesday!
