Making My Website Work for YOU: A Behind-the-Scenes Look
Because booking a portrait session should feel as easy as your favorite Sunday morning…
If you’re anything like me, you don’t have time for complicated. Between school drop-offs, work meetings, sports practices, and that ever-growing to-do list… things need to just work—especially when it comes to booking your family or graduating senior’s portrait session.
So I took a good, honest look at my website—and asked myself:
Is this helping busy families and high school seniors get what they need? Or is it making things harder than they should be?
Spoiler: it needed a refresh.
So I gave my website a makeover. Here’s what I updated (and why it matters for YOU):
✨ I made it easier to know exactly what I do (and where I do it)
Right up top, you’ll see that I specialize in family and high school senior portraits in Geneva, Illinois and the Fox Valley area. No guessing games—just a warm welcome and a clear sense of what you’ll find here.
🎯 I added more helpful info about sessions
You shouldn’t have to dig for the details! I’m working on making sure each session page gives you a clear idea of what to expect—including session flow, outfit changes, timing, and what’s included.
Have a question? You’ll never feel silly asking—I love when people reach out!
🖼 I’m showcasing what matters most: artwork for your home
This isn’t just about cute photos for Instagram (though we’ll get those too!). It’s about creating heirloom portraits you’ll smile at every time you walk by them on the wall—or flip through your album years from now.
You’ll see that reflected throughout the site—because what you take home matters just as much as what we create during the session. This is probably the main reason why I gave my website a makeover.
🧭 I’m simplifying the path to book
New buttons, clearer calls to action, and easier ways to grab your free Wall Art Inspiration Guide—because let’s face it, the easier it is to start, the more likely you are to actually do it.
💬 I kept the personality (because this is not a corporate site)
Photography with me is relaxed, real, and fun—so the website needed to reflect that too. Expect a few jokes, lots of encouragement, and hopefully a few moments where you say, “Yup, she gets me.”
💡 Want my recommendation? Treat this like a coffee date.
Poke around, explore the galleries, grab your free guide, and if it feels like we’re a good fit? Let’s chat. I’d love to dream up something special for your family or high school senior.
Because portraits aren’t just for now—they’re forever.
