I'm an HTML writer!

Saturday morning, I woke up with an itch to update our photography blog. It was looking pieced together and needed a nice cohesive feel throughout - not to mention a bit more professionalism too! Luckily for me, blogging and crafting are two of my favorite hobbies, and I just so happened to need both of them for this job! What I didn't know was that writing HTML would become such a huge part of this project, or that it could be so fun (and frustrating at times!) to work with all of it's intricacies.  HTML is the mother of all puzzles.  At 9:00am, I opened my laptop and go to work!  By 11:00pm, it was complete! I'm a little proud of what I've come up with and wanted to share a couple screenshots of it here with you guys!

Introducing the new and improved.... 

AARON NICHOLAS PHOTOGRAPHY blog!  

THE HOME PAGE

I made the new logo/title in Adobe Illustrator and the running photo slideshow with photoshop, photobucket,  illustrator, blogger, and a bit of HTML writing.  It was a labor of love to say the least!

THE ABOUT US PAGE

I made the "Our story" title in illustrator! (Photo credit to Briana Moore Photography)

THE PORTFOLIO PAGE

I made everything on this page in Adobe Illustrator and have each photo linked to 

that couple's entire photo shoot.  Pretty nifty, huh?!

THE SOCIAL PAGE

We've learned that personability is key with having a photography business, so I made this "social" page with links to my and Aaron's personal facebook pages (They're private, but still), Instagram, Flickr, Pinterest, and my blog.  I think it's really important for our future clients to be given the chance to get to know us!  Each gray ribbon is linked to the website written on it. This whole page was made in Adobe Illustrator too!  It's my new favorite program! ** I think this page is my favorite!

   Here's a link to the actual site, in case this lil' preview just wasn't enough!  LOL

*** I fell so in love with Adobe Illustrator and blogging tricks that I 

made this signature for my own blog!  Fun, huh?!
