I'm excited to share my new branding and logo! There is a story behind it I wanted to share with you all, a little nervous but excited!
I lost my grandma last April, she was my person, she helped raise me, she was my best friend. She suffered from Alzheimers disease, and she didn't know who I was the last few years of her life, if you have been through this you know how absolutely devestating this is. I have never experience such heart ache. She was an amazing woman, she was hilarious, sweet, she loved everyone, and made the worlds best pies. I can still hear her voice and hope to never lose that. If you met her you couldn't help but love her, and all her corky sayings.
The day she passed away I was overcome with grief, I walked outside and had a butterfly right in front of my face, the first one I had saw last year, that butterfly followed me, flying right beside me, it put a smile on my face for the first time that day, making me think of her watching me and still being with me. I am sure this is silly but from then on I see butterflies everywhere, the house plant I was given from her funeral has a butterfly sticking out of it, the only card I could find that she had given me is covered in butterflies, I told her if the butterflies meant something to show me, the next day I was swarmed with probably 100 butterflies, this had never happened to me, I have held them in my hand, and see them everywhere I go. Its probably a coincidence and a way to comfort myself but to me she is the butterflies!
Only a handful of people know my story! So here is my new branding!
These are my new brand colors! The purple represents Alzheimers Awareness, and the teal is my favorite color!
Incorporating her into my brand is something I am so excited about!
I wanted to share that there is meaning behind these logos! And why I chose what I chose!
Until next time! ....

]]>Thanks for visiting my very first blog! I thought it would a good idea to share a little about me and my world! The photography obsession started for me at a very young age, I was in love with capturing images on film, developing my film in that pitch black room, then putting them on paper surrounded by that beautiful red light and seeing my images come to life right in front of me. I won 1st place on quite a few of my images when I entered them into local contests, including a best of show! I went to college starting at The Ohio State University and ending online with a Bachelors Degree in Forensic Science (WOAH! Way off from photography!) Well, when I got with my husband he encouraged me that I could make my dream of being a photographer a reality and that was it, I pushed myself I worked my booty off, still am! I built this business from scratch and I love every minute of it, although it hasn't been all unicorns and rainbows, I've had my doubts, my hard times, shed tons of tears, but I wouldn't change a thing! I found my love and it was newborns, so that became my specialty, I still love everything else; however, newborns was my calling! I have met some amazing people along the way that I now call friends!
What about my home life?! Well.... I am married with 2 step daughters, Emily & Maddy, 3 dogs, 4 cats, chickens (I lost count), and a hedgehog!
I am obsessed with the Wizard of OZ, and own probably over 500 movies, I looovvve to travel, I love real life haunted places and exploring them, my favorite animal is a shark, a designer purchased one of my photos to display in a hotel in New Orleans, I am a huge animal person, and I have a very serious prop buying problem! There are some fun facts haha!
My husband, Bryan, is my biggest fan, without him I could not be where I am today!
Thank you for checking out my very first blog! Will be featuring clients in the future, stay tuned!
xoxo Nicki
