Busy

I have been busy!  Busy cleaning, busy exercising, busy mommying, busy trying to create my website and busy taking and editing pictures!

I am pretty excited about this new adventure I am now on.  It's been a month now since I've decided that I'm for sure going to do this and I've thrown myself into it.  I wanted to do it right the first time so I've been taking my time with things.

My website is up and running.  It is a work in progress.  For one I cannot figure out how to get text under my photos - it's under it while I'm composing, but when I publish it goes on the side.  I'll be working on that.  So, be prepared to see plenty of changes in the next days/weeks/months.

The name.  So, the poll on my sidebar - Whitney Rae won and it happened to be the one I liked best anyway.  Well, whitneyrae.com was taken and I debated whether or not to go through with the same name anyway - I mean, her business is "coming soon" and mine is here and I doubt she is in South Eastern Idaho.  So then I checked Whitneyk and that was taken.  So, I figured I am probably the only Whitney Kathleen in existance, and turns out I pretty much almost am.  At least I am in the photography world.  So, Whitney Kathleen it is.  I still like the sound of Whitney Rae better, but Whitney Kathleen works.  I just wanted something simple.

My site is whitneykathleen.com and I have a facebook page as well - it's on my sidebar.  I'm still doing my free shoots for the next few weeks in July.  I've done 3 and have 4 more.  I'm ready to start making money so I can expand!  I.E. (did I use that properly?) equipment/photoshop stuff/new camera/pay things off.

Currently I am working on my packaging.  I really like what Jenna has done.  I want it to look nice and professional.  I want it to be something people look forward to about booking with me.  So, I'm trying to come up with my own stuff (and using some with permission- the tin and tissue paper and box idea).  Thanks Jenna!

Here is one I took of my super cute nephew last week:

That's so exciting! The packaging would be a favorite part for me.

if you put in the html code
after your picture and before your text, it will make a break between the two. That should work for ya. :)
keep us updated on the progress- especially the final packaging. I'm happy for you!
