Name Change

Color Me Happy has been dropped from the name, I love the phrase and love the look, however I have been feeling that using my actual name looks and feels more professional. I'm really going to be working on getting my name out there here in the next year and definitely next year when I really get into weddings, so it's best I change it now. It also follows the website name and my business cards, which I was going to be ordering more of and is another big reason why I made the decision now. So...sorry again for any confusion, as with any new business sometimes there will be changes here and there...I'm just glad you all bear with me!

Thanks so much!

Larson Baby

I've been so caught up with the website and my new camera that I realized I forgot to post the Larson maternity shoot! There were some great shots, we actually shot these at our new place and the lighting was terrific!



Cars

My Hubby has a strong passion for cars, hints why he does what he does. But I also have a secret passion for them, and we went downtown to get some GREAT shots! We also invited his dad out, because he JUST got a brand new Chevy Corvette - it's beautiful...well, here, just see for yourself!



Baby Ean...

My cousin had a new baby boy his name is Ean and he is sooo precious! I had the opportunity to get a few shots and here are a few of my favs! In the meantime I'm just enjoying the sunshine!

Ok, ok, ok....

OFFICIALLY! It's all transferred over and the new site is up and running, it took a little longer so I apologize if you tried to stop by the site last night and you were having issues.

If you normally use www.daniellepadgetphotography.com to get to the site, you will have some problems...because I no longer own that domain, I dropped the photograpy...it just took to long to type. So the only one that will get to me now is www.daniellepadget.com.

Also the email address is working now, once the domain transferred over the email did as well, so you can continue to email me at info@daniellepadget.com. The new website features a pretty neat contact page where you can just fill in your info from the actual page and just submit it to me, it sends me a text message so I can help you right away, haha.

I should have my new camera in about a week, I'm stoked! I've been wanting to take tons of pictures but I'm saving my ideas for the new camera, I haven't touched my old one in a while.

Thanks again for all your patience, enjoy the new site!

Fear Not!

The website is temporarily down for now! The domain name is being transferred and hopefully as long as all of the server information is right it shouldn't take too long! But until then use this as the direct link to the site:

http://67.192.61.24/~dpad/

And hopefully soon enough...before any of you even make it here it'll already be up and running!

Also the email address:

info@daniellepadget.com

Is also being transferred so anything sent to that email until it's all working I won't receive, if you need to email me please sent to danielle.padget@yahoo.com.

And also, you can call me 515.779.4840.

Web site!

Well..the site is up and running and it looks great, if there are kinks here and there please let me know, I'm going to continue going over it. The only other thing is that there may be some weird things going on in the next few days, I'm working on transferring the domain name so that it can continue to stay as www.daniellepadget.com. However, if you are using www.daniellepadgetphotography.com to get to the site, that will no longer work.

Now I just need to take more pictures to add to the site!

Thanks for you patience everyone, it is greatly appreciated. And you can comment here on the blog to let me know what you think of the new site!

So much to tell you all!

It's been a very busy 2008! I'm sorry it has been forever since I posted last, quite honestly I haven't been able to get much work done with my photography lately, but that is all about to change very soon.

First the biggest news of all, WE'RE PREGNANT! Yes me and my husband are having our first baby, we are due August 27th and we couldn't be more happy. I'll still be accepting any photography appointments up until August or earlier if need be, and I probably won't be accepting anymore until end of September or beginning of October. But I'll still have pictures to share because I won't be able to help myself!

Other little things here and there is that we moved and we're still doing really well..it's just been busy. We moved into a condo, still in West Des Moines..we love it. I haven't taken too many pictures due to the icky weather, it's just not even inspiring or pretty to me anymore, hopefully spring is right around the corner! Also I am getting a new camera! Thanks to all of you who have supported me and allowed me to photograph part of your lives I'm finally there, along with the camera I am upgrading my website, as you all know it's gone through many changes in the past year..mostly because if just doesn't do what I want it to do, so I never seem to be very happy. Plus on top of that, I love web design and if I have no other projects..I just can't help myself. The new website may take a while...so bear with me. All of your client logins will still be available and my blog is here to view some of my work. I'll try to keep up with it as more pictures come in.

I believe that is all for now, I will leave you with a presant..in honor of Spring (hopefully soon).




About Me

How much can I actually say about myself? I obviously like photography a whole lot. It's not about making money, it's about looking at a picture I've taken and getting the warm and fuzzies from it. It's all about "the shot" not about "the shoot". But I don't have to tell you about how much I love photography. If you want to know about me, then you just need to know that I'm a pretty happy person. I have a loving/beautiful husband and a bouncy baby boy. I have 2 kitties that have been put on the back burner since our son was born, but I still love like they are my children. I live in Iowa, always have and probably always will..but I strive to see more of the world and of course take photos. There really isnt much else to tell you...you'll probably discover it all by reading my blogs.
