Brand New Website and Blog!

Hey all, just a heads up... I have switched blogs and have a brand new website. Check it out here.

New Website, New Brand, New Year

I'd really like to be able to afford creating and hosting a website, but for now I used Showit's free version. I've loved this program ever since I've heard of it and it works really well. Since I met up with Jamie Delaine, I've really thought about the process of rebranding and after getting advice from several trusted friends (photographers and graphic designers), I have decided to give up the name of Red Slippers Photography. You can read about some of my reasoning here for that.

My new brand really focuses on the individual and how I can capture it in a photo. It's a much cleaner look and pretty simple. I love simplicity- I honestly think it says a lot more than a bunch of random things.

Please head to my website: http://dorothyhuynh.com and tell me what you think! All the galleries are updated. For all my former clients, see if your face is on there! :)

I'll probably mess around with this blog sooner or later and update it as well.

Also, don't forget about the Haiti Fundraiser we're doing! Please consider it!

New Website and Other Ramblings

I recently updated my website a few days ago- I went to the library and got it done in two hours. I had already started it but kept putting it off because I've been concentrating most of my time on actually shooting and blogging the shoots. I used Showit, which I've been wanting to use for forever. The only problem is it's about $40 bucks a month and I don't make that much of an income to use my money on that (plus my photography has been spreading via word of mouth anyways) Well, I was on my Twitter homepage awhile ago and David Jay announced that it was free for up to 5 pages and 30 MB. Hey, that works for me!! I was soo excited- it looks so much professional than the page I had before. I already bought my address so I just linked what I already had to the Showit site. It looks legit and works. I'm just using my resources. ;) There are some screen grabs at the end...

Today (well yesterday I should say since it's past midnight), I booked four more senior sessions. Carmen, mother of one of the Seniors called me this morning, and said that she had seen Kyle's portraits in front of Stadium and totally loved them. She told me that I was actually the first photographer she was calling and asked about my pricing. After we talked for a bit, she decided to go ahead and book through me (I was excited, nonetheless).

After the phone call, we played some email tag and she sent me a really sweet message, which I will end this post with:

"I have been looking at your website and your photos are just beautiful Dorothy! How long have you been doing this? You look at young as my daughter! If Danielle's photos turn out (and I'm sure they will)...I have many other occasions for a photographer. Nothing big but just family stuff. I would love to use you in the future too!"

Completely flattering.

Anticipation + New Website

Looking at different photographers' work and seeing how other people see is pretty rad. All the photographers off of Showit sites is awesome. I really like how the program works and once I get better, have a better and wider portfolio, and money!, I want to use Showit. 

But as for now, I went off of a cheaper place and just posted up my new website. I am pretty proud of myself and it looks pretty darn good for being an amateur. I just need more images, so if anyone needs pictures done, I'm here, sitting, waiting. Haha.

Thanks all for reading and supporting my work. I truly appreciate it.

God is good.
