Patience is a Virtue

I know, I know. I'm the worst blogger in the entire universe! But I have good excuses. I've been so busy getting ready behind the scenes for a new, fresh look to go with my gorgeous new logo designed by the ever talented Jamie of JamieH Designs. Instead of gradually switching this and changing the color of that, I thought it would be best (and the most fun) to get everything ready behind the scenes in a test blog and then unveil it all at once! Although the new logo will be displayed in the watermark of any more recent photographs.

Also in the works, Boudoir by Amy Beth! The site should be rolling out by early July, but be on the look out for special offers here and at my Facebook page.

Pardon My Dust and More

First of all, I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I have been blessed with so many things this past year, I hardly know where to begin. I'm so grateful for my friends, family, jobs, opportunities and everything else with which I've been blessed.

I'm going to be taking advantage of the holiday season to spend some time reorganizing my website and blog. Because of that, some links may break here and there. I'll be working hard to get blog entries updated when I move photographs around, but I just wanted to apologize in advance if you stop by while I'm under construction. Everything will be back to normal as soon as possible. Actually, even better than normal! I'll be taking the day off tomorrow to stuff myself with pie enjoy some family time, but plan to start in on the updates on Friday or Saturday.

Until then, enjoy your holiday and be well! I'll leave you with one of my recent favorites from the Chicago Botanic Garden. I just happened to peek through some hedges in time to catch this little bird.

This is Just a Test

I've decided to bite the bullet and start publishing a full feed. I'm just attempting to see if I've set everything up properly, and if images are now viewable in feed readers.



Hopefully, it's working correctly, and you'll now be able to view images without clicking through to the main site.

Trust

After receiving not one, but two emails today which exposed my email address to a large mailing list, I wanted to take a moment and express how important it is to me to always protect your privacy.

I will never sell or share your email address or any other information with any third parties, unless I get your permission (if I need to do so to complete an order, etc.). I promise you that if I have a newsletter, there will always be an "opt out" option, which will be honored as quickly as possible, and that I will always, always, always utilize a blind carbon copy or other method to protect your email address.

I'm a consumer myself, and I know the frustration of entrusting your personal information to someone, only to have it exposed because of a very preventable slip up, and it's important to me that you know that your privacy will always be a priority for me.
