Hatred of HTML & a new love for 'babies'

I've spent the past few days working on nothing but my new site. I must say, it looks really nice but if I could figure out the stupid HTML coding i'd be finished by now! It's completely insane, purchase an expensive template from a company that designs for the top wedding photographers in the world because if you know anything about HTML, if you did you'd just build your own site from scratch, and then the template company makes you type in html code! Good grief!! I'm a tad frustrated as you may can see, & if I ever figure it out I'll let you know. I've got all the photos added, the main page finished and all I lack is the prices and info pages. I'm hoping to be finished in another day or two. After that it's back to album design and then more weddings in Aug.

Some promising news came last Thursday though, a pretty well known wedding planner contacting me because she was really impressed with my work and wants to recommend all the brides that come her way over in my direction. I'm pretty excited about it, she does nearly 80 weddings a year so she's pretty popular around these parts. I've spent a lot of time and money putting together some really impressive looking things to leave at her office for her to give to clients. I'm still working on it but it's a whole new image to my company and as soon as the site is finished I'll post more info on it for you to see. It's impressing me so surely it should turn a few other heads as well...

I ordered a new lens that should arrive on Tuesday. A lensbaby 2.0 for my Nikon, I'm pretty excited about it, I think it'll give a new spin on the same ole 'must-have' wedding pictures. If you have no clue what a lensbaby is then no worries, I'll post photos from it in a few days. A basic description of it would be a camera mounted slinky which looks nothing like a lens. I look forward to all the 'what's that' questions from my clients... should be a good time explaining it repeatedly.

til next time...
