Thrilled to be sharing @amandapeasley 's new website on the blog!⁠ ⁠ Amanda brought her own logo to the table, but as I started sketching out designs, we quickly realized she needed a color palette and typography of her own. We settled on a soft, feminine palette that would compliment her photographs, and also allow them to shine, as well as typography that worked with her established logo. ⁠ ⁠ For her website, she wanted a clean design that really allowed her photographs to shine, while also having the necessary strategy to warm up a new visitor to her site, and also encouraging them to reach out to her. She particularly wanted to make sure we highlighted her client wardrobe, as shopping in Saudi Arabia can be difficult. By offering her clients access to a client wardrobe, she really goes far in understanding her audience’s pain points and doing all she can to serve them. ⁠ ⁠ #storyroadcreative #katedensmoredesigns #saudiarabiafamilyphotographer #branding #websitedesign #squarespacedesigner
oh heyyyyy Monday - what are you all up to today?⁠ ⁠ I'm getting back in the swing of things after two weeks away - we just got back from an amazing vacation in Kauai, and I'm looking at the rest of the year like: whoa. ⁠ ⁠ I have just FOUR website openings left for the remainder of 2019... if you're ready to start 2020 off with a kickass online home that turns your dream clients into real clients, let's chat. Link in bio!⁠ ⁠ #illuminateteacher #illuminateclasses #documentaryfamilyphotography #childhoodunplugged #dearphotographer #documentyourdays #letthekids
#throwbackthursday to our epic road trip this summer... and the exact moment, 8 days into our trip, when I lost my shit and marched us all back to the car and told my husband to just drive us home a day early. Because seriously, by this point I was like - fuck it alllll.⁠ ⁠ Thank goodness my husband is trained in dealing with crazy people, and he took over and fixed everything with a trip to the Moab brewery. He is the unsung hero in our world. Burgers for everyone, an ice cold microbrew for mama, and his charming, ridiculous sense of humor, and we were all laughing and you know what? We made it through the day and the rest of our trip. The minute we got home we all agreed it had been the "best trip ever!"⁠ ⁠ Childbirth and road trips. I never realized how much they had in common until this summer.⁠ ⁠ Now I can look back at this image and its honestly one of my favorite ever. It's not amazing - but it's everything. And it brings us right back to this moment, which has now become part of our family lore.⁠ ⁠ "The Time Mama Lost Her Shit Under The Arches in Moab, Utah." Circa 2019. Hashtag Blessed.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #illuminateteacher #illuminateclasses #documentaryfamilyphotography #childhoodunplugged #dearphotographer #documentyourdays #letthekids
It's been a while since I last shared personal work here... some of it is because of an increased desire of privacy from my girls, some of it's simply a result of feeling like I never quite having enough time for all the things.⁠ ⁠ And some of it, if I'm being totally honest, is because I just haven't loved my work as of late. My kids are so freaking done with my camera at this point in their lives, and somewhere along the way I stopped working on the craft, and the joy, challenge, and addictiveness that photographs used to hold for me seems gone.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ I think I'm just looking for more - to be better, to see clearer, to feel stronger - in relation to my work. And I fall short, in nearly every way, and it's only human to give up sometimes.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ And maybe that's my own doing - not trying hard enough, not caring enough? - or maybe it's inevitable in this craft. The highs and lows, the peaks and valleys - but dang if this image doesn't give me a tiny glimpse of what I'm seeking, and make me want to try harder. ⁠ ⁠ #illuminateteacher #illuminateclasses #documentaryfamilyphotography #childhoodunplugged #dearphotographer #documentyourdays #letthekids
Can I confess something? I don't design websites. WHAT? 😲 I know, it's totally something you probably thought I've been doing a lot of lately - but hear me out.⁠ ⁠ I say I "don't design websites" because what I do is so much more than just pretty colors and a good layout:⁠ ⁠ I hold space for the ambition and dreams of my clients.⁠ ⁠ I contribute to their sense of confidence and legitimacy.⁠ ⁠ I walk alongside them as they discover new facets of themselves.⁠ ⁠ And most importantly, I help to amplifying their VOICE. And when that voice is that of a female business owner and creative who deserves everything in this world to be HEARD and have her work SEEN?⁠ ⁠ Well, you can bet I'll do everything in my power to help that along... and THAT is what I do. A pretty design is just the icing on the cake.⁠ ⁠ Super excited to share @courtneyholmesfilmsandphotos new website today! With a warm, nostalgic vibe, unique design touches, and KILLER copywriting crafted by @Cynthia Haynes, this is one website that totally represents the high achieveing level of it's owner. ⁠ ⁠ Courtney, a million congrats! I am going to miss our daily emails something fierce. It's been an honor to work with you on this. ⁠ ⁠ #storyroadcreative #katedensmoredesigns #documentaryfamilyphotography #familyfilms #filminglifeacademy #creativelive #illuminateteacher #illuminateclasses #branding #websitedesign #squarespacedesigner
