A fabulous friend and fellow photographer took the time to re-design my logo for me!! Suzanne Marie was my wedding photographer as well as a childhood friend. When I got engaged a little over a year ago she was the first phone call that I made. I LOVE her work (check her out, she's in Colorado) and was so excited that she made the trip from Colorado back to Phoenix just for our wedding day. I am a bit of a traditionalist so I wanted to take my husbands last name. I thought if I'm diving in and starting fresh and exploring a new adventure with, taking his last name, why not take the time to rebrand my business with my new name? I love my husband and photography, what better way to showcase that! 

I wanted this change to really reflect who I am at this time of my life. In the last year there has been so much change; I have grown so much, had wonderful new opportunities, been creating wonderful memories, and building new relationships. The other day, a student of mine asked me if teal was my "power" color. I had no idea what they were talking about, but as I sat surrounded by a teal phone case, laptop case, mouse and mousepad I realized that yea; I guess it is! So of course that the is hue of my new logo! Suzi wanted to know if I had any ideas of an image to go along with my name. Images are tough for me, I wasn't sure what would be a good image that really reflected who I am. After many ideas, I decided to go with a feather. When I think of a feather I can't help but also think of birds. I think of birds as having the ultimate freedom. To me, a feather represents simplicity and being free. That was photography does for me, even though I'm incredibly hard on myself as a critic, I find freedom when I get behind the camera, getting to work with new people and being able to bring out their uniqueness through my creativity. 

I am really happy with my new logo. I am also so in love with my new blog design! I wanted something classy, simple, but elegant. I feel that this design gives me all three of these things! I can't wait to see what God has in store for my business as I start on a new adventure with a new image...I can only pray that it will wonderful things!!
