Aside from all this wonderful thinking, I should start working on some design sketches. Mainly the “branding and design” aspect of the site. It actually is difficult to start processing this part of the site when I haven’t figured out how I want to orient this hobby of mine. I don’t want to limit the site to showcase solely weddings, engagements, family, portraits etc. I want to acknowledge the artist in me. Those aspects are just a very small portion of what I do. In the meantime I have a flickr site that I will attempt to start using more.

As for the site – I will divide the site into three. One for clients that are interested in the wedding/engagement/family/portrait work. Another site that will showcase the “other” … which will enable more creative freedom. Finally, a site that will be this blog. I will then use the flickr as a means to gauge feedback from other photographers to help improve my work.

Some foreseeable challenges are:

  1. Creating a cohesive theme amongst all three sites, but each with a distinct look and feel.
  2. Finding an easy back end product that will allow maximize workflow and ease for updates
  3. Creating something and not being terribly self critical of my work
