Week in Review: New Changes Coming Soon!

 I have been really busy the past few weeks researching and planning some new changes to Rachelle Hodgins Photography! I am hoping I can have them all complete and ready before the end of Spring to share with you all. 

Some of these new changes include: 

- Photo Shoot Packaging. I have decided to take a "Greener" approach and make a move to materials that are more environmentally friendly! I also have a few other fun ideas to add to the packaging! 

- Wedding Welcome Packages. These will be a great way to help me give my brides/grooms the best experience I can offer on their special day! 

- New Website: I have decided to re-do my website and make it so it will also be accessible on iPads, tablets and iPhones/smartphones! I am really excited to get started on this! 

Here is my Packaging Inspiration board: 

You can see it in detail here.

Hey everyone! It's Friday again! 

Monday was a great start to the week. I was pretty excited when I woke up to texts from friends saying they saw my photo in their Costco Connection magazine! 

I knew that I had been awarded an honourable mention for my photo but did not know if it would be published in the magazine or not. Hearing that they had seen it was a great start to the week.
