I Love Wednesdays, but what else is new...

So, I know I've been a bad blogger lately and haven't updated too much, but I've been uber busy working on new shoots and have just had my first vacation in about 4 years! It was absolutely, smashingly awesome and I promise, promise, promise that I'll have photos up in the next few days. However, I have to say that I am excessively excited at the redesign of the ILW website. It's design has changed quite a lot over the last year or so, but I think that all the changes have been leading me this final design and development.

I think sometimes designers get confused when designing things for themselves. I work really well when planning and designing things for other people, but for myself, it's a whole other story. It's sort of the whole thing about a builder never finishing his own house kind of thing.

The update was really influenced by a friend of mine, Erin, who saw my business cards and absolutely loved them, but didn't think that my website represented either the business cards or my personality. I've been thinking that same exact thing for a while, but haven't really had a chance to do anything about it, until the last couple of weeks when I just thought that I really need to take care of myself along with everyone else.


My business cards, which I do have to say, I absolutely love.



The new site.




Part of the redesign was creating photos to go with each section of the website. I did a mini self-portrait shoot to show both my personality and give a little more info about the sections of the site. Below are the final images from the shoot that Nick helped me choose (I find I'm rather critical of photos of myself, so it's easier to give it to someone else...hahaha)

Check out the site and let me know what you think.
