Meet Celina! What an amazing young lady! She was super sweet and is so genuine. She has a passion for singing and goes to church with Chad’s parents…they say she has an absolutely beautiful voice! I would love to listen! She brought her friend Randy with her and we put her to work…ha! We threw those magazine pages too many times to count and Randy was a trooper and helped us gather them up each time! Thank you so much Celina!!

The Plumlee’s Midland Family Photographer

We had lots of fun with the Plumlee’s and their sweet grand kiddos, Tristin and Truitt. It was so funny T&T wanted their toys and babies in the photos with them, and “cheesy” (That’s what they call their grandmother) didn’t mind at all! I think they are perfect in the photos as well…and we even put the toys in a chair to make sure they got their fair share of camera time! So fun!

Coming Soon! Celina. Midland Senior Photographer

Boy or Girl?? Midland Maternity Photographer

I have several posts that are ready to be blogged…however I was waiting on my new watermark! I deceided I better post this one since my sweet friends Holly and Justin are having baby #2 on Tuesday!! Holly and I have been friends for a long time, we met in nursing school and I know without a doubt she was God sent!! We are polar opposites…I’m loud, she’s quite…I’m can’t spell for my life, she just might be the most well spoken articulate (sp?) person I know…I have word vomit and often wish I would have just held my tongue, she is thoughtful and has a filter…I am unorganized, she has all her ducks in a row. Ok, so you get it. All of those differences and we have remained friends all this time, and even though I don’t get to see her as much as I would like we always pick up right where we left off. I am so excited for her!! They have a sweet little boy Eli who will soon be the big brother! They didn’t find out the sex of this one, and I can’t wait to find out on Tuesday!! Here are my favs!! Love ya Holly!

Holly often makes fun of me for my run-on sentences and I am thinking I might have made the mother of all run-ons above…ha!

Unveiled: The New Branding

Amanda — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:22:15 +0000

As you can tell, the blog has undergone a much needed makeover! After 9 long months planning and waiting I am so excited to unveil the new branding. I put so much thought into this and I wanted to make sure I had the right team of people working on it to get exactly what I envisioned. So many branding companies just throw a “cute” look together for people and slap a quick logo together that means nothing (it actually means more than they think!) I had the pleasure of working with Luxeceteraand let me tell you I can’t recommend them enough!! Ashley Jankowski is the designer behind this greatness! To say she is AMAZING is a huge understatement! She had so many fabulous ideas! So much work went into getting it all to come together…and a few items are still in the works, but we wanted to launch the blog first. I can’t wait to show you the other elements once they are finished….stay tuned for that post soon!

I had so many people ask me, “What is branding?” I was surprised at how many of the people that asked me that are actually in business for themselves and didn’t know this! Your brand is the heart of your business! I think Millie Holloman says it best in one of her recent “In A Nutshell Webinars (Check them out here….they are great!) She says,

“It’s a promise of value, a symbol of what you represent, and your chance to make a first impression.”
“It’s an accumulation of different marketing medium mixed into one. It creates an image that says who you are and what you represent, it’s not just colors and a logo. Branding is everything that you do.”

Once again, a huge Thank you to Ashley and everyone at Luxe!
