SEO...

So I have a blog, a website, a facebook fan page, a twitter page, a wedding wire page, and adds on craigslist, but I'm still not meeting my goals of website viewership. I was wondering if anyone out there has experience with SEO (search engine optimization) and would like help a web illiterate soul out... I have been doing a bit of research and it seems that having your website linked to other websites helps increase your search engine rating, so anyone who wants to put a link to my website on theirs would be my new favorite person ;-)

Now, for those who don't read my posts and only like looking at the photos (I'm not a big text reader either...), here is a favorite Image of mine that I have never shared:

Testing... 1,2,3

So for the past several months I have been uploading my photos to Photobucket.com and attaching the HTML on my blog. I decided that it was probably a better idea to have them loaded onto my blog, so this is my test to see if it will actually work. I will probably delete this post shortly, so don't be alarmed if its gone (not that anyone would be).

Northern Virgnia Newborn Photography

Yesterday I had the privilege of photographing beautiful baby Isabella and her fabulous family in Virginia. Newborn photography is the best, and my shoot was no exception! The shoot was amazing and the H family was such a joy to work with. Isabella was and was quite a trooper for her first photo shoot and did an fabulous job ad being adorable! I think this girl definitely has a future in modeling :-) Here are just a few of my favorites...

My favorite couple!

This past week I had the opportunity to photograph my ridiculously good looking, along with totally awesome friends, Nick and Meadow. We went to old town Gaithersburg, MD and got some really fun shots. Here are some of my favorites!

Here is what I have been up to in pictures...

I celibrated my 5 year anniversary on Friday... 5 YEARS!!! Hubby and me were pretty low key, but we did get our favorite cake from Bloom!


I surprised him with Rock Band!


I ordered a sample canvas gallery wrap... I have added these to my product line and LOVE them!! Its a great way showcase your photos without having to bother with framing them.




I got new business cards today! I am super excited about these. I have had 3 sets
(Yes they are slightly pink on one side!)

Storyboard

I never thought i would make one of these because I didn't know how, but I figured it out, and am glad I did because I LOVE them!! I made a digital frame and mat so you can get the idea of what a storyboard would look like framed. What do you think?

My Christina :-)

My beautiful niece Christina is just one big bundle of love. I swear, if all kids were this wonderful I would have 10! I love how she runs up to you and literally attack you with kisses, and any time you ask, she is more than willing to give you a big hug. Christina is truly one of the most loving wonderful kids I have ever met and I am so lucky to have her as a niece. Becky, I miss you and the girls more than you know!
