Towards the end of my college career I took a class that focused on starting a business. We had to create a logo, business cards, letter head, business plans, contracts... etc. My first assignment was to count the number of photographers and wedding photographers listed the the yellow pages. (The yellow pages... who uses those now?!?) The point of the assignment was for us to see how much competition there was out there in the photography world. Creating the urge and desire to find a way to *stand out* amongst all the others.
At the start of 2009 I decided to take a leap of faith and focus more on my photography. I have loved being a preschool teacher and nanny for the last 6+ years (and will continue to love it... Natalie, Andrew, and William) but feel I should step into the photography world and finally see what happens. I have been extremely blessed the past few months as I've tried to come up with a logo and website that make me *stand out*.
My amazing logo and brand was created by Carrie and Colin's friend Bryan Chackle. Thank you Bryan! A good friend, Joseph, has offered to let me borrow his digital camera until I can afford one of my own. (All my equipment is still stuck in the "film ages.") Thank you Joseph! My website was created by yours truly, but not without the help and advice from family, friends Shannon and Tom, and my very patient husband Ben. Thank you all! Please check out my website, I'd love to hear what you think!

I need to check out the website after I comment on your wonderful BLOG. I'm so happy that you are pursuing photography more now. That is so exciting! I really wish I could have just had you do my photography for my wedding--even though that was almost two years ago. As much as I love my pictures, I know that I would have loved your work TONS more.
ANYWAY, thanks for commenting on our post about moms. I'll surely say hi to my mom from you two if you will say hi to yours!!
We REALLY hope to make it to Seattle this year--work at the resort has been CRAZY! Keep your fingers crossed.
Mandy, I love it! I love your logo wit the little icons for each photography type you do. You are so great. Best of luck!
