July is Here!!!

What happens when you have a long holiday weekend and no plans? 1. Cleaning--ya not what I would've gone for, either. But that's why it made the top of the list; I have been neglecting the house. 2. Eat. 3. Decide to redo the Website! 4. Eat some more. (That's right--it was a dangerous weekend--totally living on the edge. Don't be jealous.)

Yes, we will be launching our NEW WEBSITE by the end of the week!!! So exciting--we can hardly wait. Of course, there will be some tweaking and adding over time; please don't expect perfection this early in the game! Stay tuned for the new site.

Some other noteworthy things to mention:
This week is the Bridal Show in downtown Houston. So fun! Click here for more info. http://bridalextravaganzashow.com/ I may take a megaphone so I can compete with the tux & formal wear shop across from us.
2nd big thing is it's the 10th Anniversary of my photography business this month!!! Some sort of celebration is in order. I may have to postpone until August for a party so I can pull something together. It's fun to see how far I've come since the beginning, the changes to the industry, going from all film to digital, and my growth as a photographer.

We hope everyone enjoyed the Fourth of July and has a wonderful summertime!!!

P.S. These photo booth pics are from a bridal show we attended w/Conor's sister last year when she was getting married. Found them while cleaning. Kinda funny!

Week 6: Self Portraits

Ya. . . . so I guess I won't comment on the fact that our topic last week was supposed to be details in San Antonio. Had I known Conor was going to slight me and pick a structure, I would've whipped out my other shots. No, I'm not bitter. And my Dad always taught me not to get mad--but get even!!! Conor won with 65% for Week 5 and his silhouette shot was pretty cool. Of course, I like the fact that I picked out a detail found on the sidewalk, often stepped on and passed by (just a little DETAIL). I will post my favorite San Antonio shots this week. :)

Back to business. Here are the runnings for Week 6: Self Portraits. We should be paid for all our modeling efforts. If you like the photo of Conor, vote for him. If you like the photo of Dayna, vote accordingly. Voting ends Friday at midnight--let the games begin!!!

Finally Live!!!

The much awaited, highly anticipated, joyous day is here!!! After a mere 1 1/2 years (not weeks or months--but years!) in the making my website has finally launched and gone live! A touch of procrastination may have fallen over me the past year, but I was bit by the bug the past 3 weeks and finally finished. I'm excited about the new look of my website and flash features. Keep in mind the old site had pretty much stayed the same the past 5 years; it was practically a dinosaur! Go to www.daynaphotography.com and post your feedback on here!

Thank you, Shane, for the countless hours spent helping on the technical end. Not to mention the hundreds of e-mails, phone calls and humoring a fickle female like myself! It looks awesome! I am pleased to share the debut of Dayna Carroll Photography with everyone! Look out Houston, here we come!!!
