I’m back from my brief blog hiatus with LOTS of changes. Just the start of things to come for 2012 and I’m so excited to have you along for the ride!

I worked with an amazing graphic designer (Madilu Designs) for an updated logo (just a bit of a color change) and all new packaging materials. Love my new ‘tiffany blue’ background pattern!! When you book a session for 2012, you’ll be getting a pretty awesome ‘welcome packet’ with all kinds of fun things to read, a contract to sign and a little questionaire to fill out to help me learn more about you. The photo packaging will be amazing and I hope to have everything together to post a picture for you soon. Still have some samples to create and order.

For my blog stalkers, I’m sure you’ll find a few changes to the blog itself. A new background, a new layout and lots of new scrolling images on the masthead. I’ve added a new FAQ section on the menu bar and have the brand new bsquared packages up as well (you can find the packages under b2 pricing in the menu bar above). There are some changes in the packages and offerings for 2012 and I will be scheduling fewer sessions this year in order to ensure that all my clients receive the utmost in customer service and attention. I’d love to hear what you think of the new blog design- let me know in the comments below or on the bsquared Facebook page.

A little peek at some of the new stuff:

The bsquared calendar is now open for January-April 2012. I also have some dates for communions in May and June already booked up, so if you are interested in a communion or other event after April, please let me know. If it’s a regular session you are looking for after April, that calendar should be available in March. You can find the calendar on the menu bar at the top of the blog.

I will be running a few specials in February and March so be on the lookout for those. And also some Communion specials for May. I’ll announce those later this month.

I will also announce the winners from the two bsquared giveaways that are still going on by the end of this weekend. Giveaway one is to post or email a picture of your 2011 Christmas card that you created from images I took (but that I didn’t make the card). The best one wins a little something. And giveaway Two: guess how many sessions I shot in 2011. The guess closest to the actual # wins a little something too. You can post your guess here in the comments section or on the bsquared Facebook page. There’s still time to enter both.

And because I hate blogging without a photo (not to mention that I still have Christmas to edit and all my vacation photos, and a few sessions and some other stuff from late 2011. Oh boy!) here’s one from my vacation that I’m still on. Don’t hate- I worked really hard this year!

Hope that you are enjoying all the bsquared changes and that you’ll all be in front of my camera this year-I can’t wait to start shooting again!!
