It was gonna happen at some point.
For the past two years, I’ve been using Squarespace to blog about my Cleveland adventures and to host my portfolio. This site went through a few changes over the years: updating my portfolio, adding links to galleries, and adding a services page.
I’m entering my third year as a photographer, and between that and turning 33, I’m eyeing a rebrand. I’m trying to make some changes to my morning routine, my training program, and I got a new pair of specs. Part of my rebrand includes updating my website.
As much as I love Squarespace, I’m looking for something a little bit different in terms of design, and I want something geared for the photographer. So I decided to switch over to Format.com. One of my favorite photographers, Lanna Apisukh, uses Format. After browsing some of their templates, I decided to make the switch because it really is photographer-focused. My new site really just has my portfolio and a new biography. That’s how I want it, I think.
I’m still keeping this site, though! There’s so much history here. I’ve been blogging since November 2023 about photography and my day trips to various spots around Cleveland: Vermillion, Fresh Fest, photography events, parks, local landmarks. So I’ll be keeping this site, but I’ll only use it for blogging. I definitely want to keep up with that.
So yeah. My updated portfolio is on Format, and my photo journal remains on Squarespace.
Expect some new blog posts soon. This weekend I have four events to shoot: a wedding, two open mics, and a baby shower. I think I’ll take Monday off next week to recover. 😮💨
