September 11


It's been a busy week as fall is coming upon us. My schedule gets crazier and crazier as we draw closer to Christmas. This is my busy time, so I apologize in advance if I'm hard to reach. I will be shooting a wedding tomorrow in Tennessee, so I will be unavailable this weekend.

The Christmas appointments keep filling up! It looks like we are going to have a busy season!



My thoughts and prayers are with the survivors and families that lost loved ones on September 11th, 2001. And thanks to all of the firefighters and rescue workers that risked their lives that day to save others. I hope this country never has to face that kind of tragedy ever again.

Changes to Websites/Ordering

Well, I knew there would be some things to work out after changing to the new websites and shopping carts. It looks like I'm not going to be able to use the shopping carts that are built in to the new websites. I love the fact that you can view the images so much larger and clearer but the ordering system stinks! The new system doesn't allow people to have their own favorites and shopping carts, it lumps everyone who views the images into one pot. That's why on the old system we asked you to enter your email address. That gave you your own personal shopping cart for those images. Plus, the new system doesn't allow you to view your images in b&w and sepia or show you cropping. Not to mention that you can order using your credit card not just Paypal.
So....... I have increased my work for your viewing pleasure! I am going to post your images on the new website for viewing only, and on the old shopping cart for ordering! Luckily the old cart will open in a new window so you can actually look at both on your screen if you choose.
To view images you will select the "Client Galleries" button. To order you will select the "Order Prints" button. Same password for both! Simple as that!
Please let me know if you have any problems. I tried to make sure I uploaded images to both places, but let me know if I missed anybody!

Cute Pic!


Oh yeah! I wanted to post this image. Isn't he a doll!! I think he's studying that Peter Rabbit book pretty hard! Too cute!

Thursday

Had a rough night with our dog Raven. She was sick all night, and kept waking me up to go out. I finally had to sleep on the couch to make it easier to get up and let her out. I don't know if the frog she was playing with last night made her sick. She didn't eat it, but did have her mouth all over it. I think they secrete a poison from their skin as a defense mechanism. She seems better now.

On a different note...I've been scheduling lots of Christmas appointments already! I know we'll fill up again this year. I hate disappointing anyone but it's bound to happen. There are only so many hours in the day!

Have some sweet baby appointments tomorrow, then maybe I can squeeze in some riding time. Need to get ready for a big show at the end of the month!

Yeah! It works!

I actually figured this one out! You can't just be a photographer anymore... you have to be a web designer, computer expert, set designer, marketer, landscaper and many others! I am relieved to have this up and running along with the new websites. I hope I can keep up with posting. I never seem to have enough time! Well, I guess that's all for today...

This is a test. Just trying to figure this thing out!
