Why yet another blog?? I know, I know…for you people who have to update your Google Readers and your RSS feeds, this is a pain and I apologize. There really is a reason behind all of this madness. I was paying money every month to use Squarespace when I didn’t realize my website hosting company allows me to add a blog to my website for no additional charge. Why pay the money if it isn’t necessary? I mean, I have actually learned the value of a dollar over the last nine months. And besides, doesn’t my new blog ROCK? Jared over at ProPhoto is amazing. I paid one small fee for this template he designed and then it’s free from here on out. I just use WordPress as my blog host and if you know WordPress, you know they are similar to Blogger in the fact they don’t charge for posting with them.
Check out my flash header and if you will refresh your browser, you’ll see my bio picture changes every time. Pretty cool, huh? And while we are on the subject of bio pictures, how about those images of me taken by my ultra-cool and very talented photographer cousin, Jamie Pitman? I think she did an amazing job and you really do need to go check out her great stuff. I have had so much fun over the last several months discovering all of the pearls of photography and PhotoShop with Jamie - we talk or email at least once a day and its usually always centered around photography. In my opinion, Jamie is going to be a very busy photographer soon…she has grown leaps and bounds in just the last couple of months. And, did you notice my new logo?? I love my new logo designed by one of my very best friends, Mary Forey. She said the little girl in my logo reminded her of me; how sweet!! Mary is in marketing and lives in San Antonio but her real passion is graphic design. I love my new logo - she is so creative. She also worked on my spacers that separate each post. I decided to go with a whole new branding as I wasn’t real fond of KD Photography. I think when people look up a certain photographer, they usually Google their whole name anyway. I follow many, many photographer’s blogs and most of them use their whole name as their business name. In my opinion, it’s easier for potential customers to remember. So, I am officially Kenda Davies Photography now. Oh yeah, and I need to give a shout out to Nazan over at Portfelia for the awesome background pattern I found on his website for FREE! Gotta love free stuff.
I am really excited about this blog AND I got a new website also. Well, it isn’t all new; it’s mainly a new design. I like it much better and this website will make ordering for my customers so much easier as it has a shopping cart. Go check it out when you get time. If you are one of my regulars, you will probably find several pictures you have already seen and you might even find yourself, a loved one or a familiar face featured on my website. Check it out!
I know, Blaze looks so unbelievably happy. Kellyn has always smiled for the camera! I think they are pretty cute with or without smiles but I am a little partial.
If you will keep scrolling down, you will notice I am slowly but surely adding my posts from my other photography blog to this new blog. It will take me some time but I will try to bring over the majority of posts over here - if you don’t see yours, I am sure it will be here in time. Pretty please drop me a line or leave a comment and let me know what you think about everything - I am sure Jamie and Mary would love to hear what you think as well. I know most of you choose not to comment but if you have a second, give me your thoughts. This has been a work in progress for some time now.
Until next time…
