Katie Nesbitt Photography 2.0

Business

October 3, 2012

IT’S HERE!!!!! IT’S HERE!!!!!

I have been dreaming about today for months, and now it’s finally here, the day of the launch of the new Katie Nesbitt Photography!!  It feels like Christmas! There are still a few kinks to work out, including getting all of my old posts and images transferred over, but fingers crossed, all of that old stuff will be back very soon:)

Branding has always been something that is very important to me. As a business owner who mostly works on location and from my own home office, I don’t have a physical storefront to attract and do business with potential clients, so that’s what my website is for! I loved my little gray and white striped blog (gray is still my favorite color!), but I knew in my heart I needed to upgrade to a legit website! Some people don’t need a website to be amazing (Justin and Mary have a blogsite!) but I really wanted a place for clients to “meet” me first and learn a little bit about me before coming to the blog. I like to think about it this way, the website is my living room…you come in there when we first meet and we chat for a little bit. Then if we’re having a good time, we go back into my DEN (aka this blog) where we get comfy and talk about random stuff. And maybe eat a bag of chips.

For the past few months I have been working with Ravyn, of Three Fifteen Design on a new logo and SHOWIT site. If you don’t know what SHOWIT is, it’s a website platform that is 100 percent customizable as well as EXTREMELY user friendly and very easy to update with fresh content. YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW CODE TO USE SHOWIT.

Ravyn has been incredible to work with! She is also a photographer, so she really understands a photographer’s branding needs. I think this is important, because not all businesses are alike or need the same kind of brands. If you need a designer, I would suggest you email her now! Not only is she just an amazing designer, she was also so patient with my nutty ideas and neurotic emails. I’m so happy that I chose to work with her on this project! She has really been a lifesaver!

Remember this inspiration board she created for me?

This board translated into the final product!! And if you look closely, there’s a little peek of a wedding that will hit the blog this week!
