I'm so excited! I just received my new logo by Brent Holloman. We went back and forth on this logo for two months. We went through several different designs but this is the final product and I am really happy with it. Brent put up with me really hounding him this last month and made me a really satisfied client. I will recommend him to you if you ever need design work. He can do it.
So here is the idea behind the logo. I wanted something that reflected in a very simple way my philosophy on photography. The three green boxes do that for me really well. My philosophy is this:
"photography helps us remember the things we forget."
Memories fade. The bottom line is - we can't remember what we ate for lunch yesterday - let alone really important things in our life. Photographs help us preserve those memories. By looking at the image of our daughter smiling with two front teeth missing . . . we recall and preserve that memory . . . even 5, 10, or 20 years later. Thats why people risk their lives by running into burning or flooding homes to retrieve their images. They don't run in for their television. They risk their lives for their memories, because they know that once the photographs are gone . . . their memories of the details . . . they will fade with time.
I chose the color green because green represents growth to me and with that the passing of time. I like the text of "csm" because it looks like a roller coaster ride to me . . . and, well, life is a lot like that - plenty of ups and downs. The three boxes (that go from lighter to darker shades of green) represent memories faded that come more into focus with an image and with that image comes . . . remembrance. I want my photography to provide that for people . . . a time capsule of moments . . . a season of life frozen . . . held in your hand . . . to help you re-live and remember. In some cases a photograph is all we have left of a loved one. In that case, the photograph becomes quite precious to us.
I want preserved memories of our children, our engagement, our wedding, . . . even seasons of life . . . our son learning to ride a bike for the first time . . . the first missing tooth . . . the first steps . . . Life moves so fast. It's important to capture it now.
. . . . . because {she's born} . . . because {she's turning one} . . . because {he's graduating} . . . because {they're engaged} . . . because (they're getting married} . . . because {she's pregnant} . . . . because {they grow} . . . . . . . . because {time flies}.
