I cannot believe that this moment is here and real.  And to avoid the sappy part, I’ll just go on to the thanking part.

First I have to thank my amazing friends and family for their support over the past two years as I built this business.  I would not be where I am without your encouragement, especially Wes who continually allows me to get whatever gear I need, doesn’t complain when I’m gone on weekends, and even comes along and finds other things to do when I add photo sessions to days we visit friends in other cities.  A big thank you to my marketing guru, Liz, who without I would not know what a meta tag is and would not have had any added to my site, among many other important things that marketing guru’s think of and photographers don’t.  And to Mary, my consultant, who has constantly over the years not only supported me, but lent many a minute to looking at what I had and giving me good and honest feedback.

All the amazing work that was done on this site was done by some amazingly talented people:

Matt Fleming – blackt-shirt.com – Matt did my original logo design and is a favorite Words with Friends opponent of mine.  If you live in Milwaukee you’ve likely seen some of his work at places like Honey Pie, The Garage, and Flabbergast to name just a few.

Bethany Bauman – bethanybauman.com – Bethany is responsible for the graphic design of the website.  To include my favorite part of the whole thing – the couch scroll button – genius.

Jack Payne Currier – www.jackpaynecurrier.com – Jack programmed everything you see and I know did some amazing things with code that is way above my head to make this all work, not only on your computer, but on basically any device that you have that will connect to the internet.

These three all have amazing portfolios which everyone should definitely check out.

The new site is www.amandacouchphotography.com – when you get a chance come check it out. (And since you are already here reading this, just click on the big couch logo on the upper left – it will take you right to the home page 😉 )

I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season with friends and family!
