the past few days.

Me, In Real Life

hi there! just wanted to check in and say hello…. i’m sitting here with a sleeping baby next to me listening to a new song by francesca battistelli. it is so precious watching your little one sleep…absolutely love it. i am also sitting here sneezing and pulling out a kleenex every five seconds, trying my best to fight these allergies. ’tis that time of year i suppose.

the past few days i’ve been busy working a lot on my photography site and photography blog. i thought for months and months about changing the name from beautiful journey photography to arielle elise photography. i thought about it and then thought some more. so, i finally made the decision and i’m glad i did! after a little bit of designing, my photography blog now looks a bit like this:

what do ya think? yay/nay? (if you do say nay i think it may be a little too late..) :) but anywho, i hope that you have a lovely day. i’m excited for some new posts on here (including a giveaway!) but for now, time to get lil’ leland in his crib and spend time with jay…

love,
arielle

  1. Yay! It looks great! I love your floral, feminine style. After just spending hours working on blog design stuff, I can totally understand that the nay-sayers will be too late.

  2. Definitely ‘Yay’! I love it!

    beautiful. I think it gives so much more validation and standard when a artist uses their name in their company. Well, with photography at least. I feel like it says “I am proud of everything I produce.” Because you lay your name out. That is just me though.

    Hey Lady!
    So i enjoy stopping by and reading up the journey that God takes you on. It is indeed a beautiful journey, I think everyday of our lives is something new, may not always be the best day, we definitely go through times where life is a struggle, but it’s still exciting cause you realise on day, your gonna meet that beautiful daddy, and life’s struggles will pass. I really look forward to that.
    :)
    Just felt inspired to type that.
    My comment on the layout:
    1. I think it looks great, and for me, I think this speaks your personality, not that I know you but from your photography I can tell.
    2. I love the banner design, but think that maybe try adding a little more shadowing? Just under both banners? (just a thought)
    3. Love the way the photograph borders are done.
    4. Your beautiful! Keep shining!
