Well I now have a fantastic logo for my business and marketing and advertising pieces! I am so excited about this because it has been a while in the making and it fits exactly with my branding and the feeling and concept behind my business. That being family photography. Photographing a wedding is the start of a new family, children are new branches of that family and it grows as a whole much like a tree.

I am not your typical photographer. My business is not just about money, although it is what keeps me in business. My business is about relationships. Relationships of the people I photograph. My business is not a clinical, slick, cold business, it is homely and personable, its friendly. I think this is represented in my new logo and branding.

I have been a lazy blogger lately and have a handful of posts coming up in the next few weeks.

My wife, Sair, sister, Kira and myself headed up into the Brindabella’s a couple of weeks ago to have some fun in the snow. Sair has lived almost her entire life in Queensland, only having lived the last 8 months in Canberra. So as you can imagine, seeing snow for the first time was quite exciting!
