Dr. Brent Powell is opening his own pediatric dentistry practice in Fresno, California, and needed a sleek logo that was kid friendly without looking childish or cliche. We like the look of this with the fun hidden smile at the bottom and the reminiscent look of the classic toothpaste swirl. Not only that, but it looks great in black and white and with or without the text. It’s going to be amazing in brushed aluminum for the exterior sign on his building, and I can’t wait to get photos of all the products using the various renditions of the logo such as his brochures, letterhead, business cards, and of course the fridge magnets and free toothbrushes! Congratulations on the new practice and exciting business venture!
Laurel Johnson of Sunbelt Business Brokers negotiating buying/selling businesses, and Business Works Consulting specializing in small business enhancements, is launching a joint effort and online presence to improve her ability to work with small business owners. She needs a wide variety of headshots over the coming months for speaking engagements and scheduling consultations, and this is a part of the first set. She wanted an outdoor, fresh look rather than a stuffy professional studio lit effect, which is my specialty! I love the more raw result as opposed to perfectly wrapping the subject in studio light, as this conveys personality in so many more obvious and subtle ways.
Michelle Pulsifer of On the Spot Body Art in Austin recently scheduled a painting party to beef up her photo portfolio with a day-long marathon of face and body painting. Lots of kids and pizza and paint, along with two gorgeous pregnant women for maternity painted and henna belly art to literally round out the event!
We have new belly art and boudoir body art joint packages starting at $160 that include painting and a photo session with 8×10 either in the studio, at your home, or outdoors in a private venue, and I’m excited about our new offerings.

One of the nice things about real estate photography (there are a lot of those) is meeting all the great agents around the Austin area. Jill Foye is a beautiful new Keller Williams Realtor® , though as an ASP certified stager certainly no newcomer to the industry. We networked while she was staging, and I had the chance to take her head shots today for her new business cards. KW isn’t as fun with their cards as they have premade designs to choose from and therefore less creativity on my part there, but I loved this design…I think because it looks like my web site header!
Parker Piano Studio in Austin and Dripping Springs offers lessons from beginner to advanced intermediate. A beautiful, open, bright studio filled with both traditional and cutting-edge music technology, it is organized and well run by an experienced and passionate instructor, Kathlyn Parker.
It was a pleasure to spend time in her studio with her students, watching her enjoy playing for herself. This session is destined for use on her web site and promotional materials and brochures.
Jeremy K. Frost of Keller Williams Steel Action Team is offering 321 Abbey Dr in Austin for $359,000. A beautiful and meticulously kept 3474 sq ft 5br, 3 1/2 bath single story in an outstanding master-planned community and exemplary Dripping Springs school district. Photography and flyer design standard in real estate package.
As I’m gearing up my business, now was the time to rename and redesign the look I want, before I delve too deeply into soliciting clients for the new season.
The business name describes what I do, and says more about the services I offer: I am a photographer who goes beyond the photo to create keepsake art. The logo reflects that also by using photography-related artwork. And it cleverly incorporates my statement in a sleek way: the lens in the letter p, the box that is reminiscent of either a photo, a piece of framed art, or a camera, and even a little “shutter button” up top! (Look closely to find our family “happy face” logo.) It can also redesign into components for many configurations on business cards, letterhead, envelopes, etc. Because I do business makeovers with photos, fliers, brochures, logo design, and related artwork, I need to represent myself well in that category. Thanks for your support as we grow!
I contract as a design and technical instructor at a graphic-design firm specializing in digital scrapbook graphics, and recently our team redesigned our company logo. Several of us suggested designs, but we had a hard time getting in everything we wanted about our company while keeping it sleek (a typical logo design woe.) After almost choosing a design that no one was truly crazy about, I finally submitted a design I felt was bold and memorable and described our company well, and another team member refined it to this finished version. It came back to me for final clean up in Illustrator, and we all love what we created. It breaks down into components very well for different versions on cards, brochures, banners, letterhead, and email signatures. Now it adorns all of our packaging and promotional materials, and is a big part of defining our brand.
