MIA blogger

Well, if you can even call me a "blogger".  As you can tell, I haven't posted a blog in a long time.  Since Oct 21st to be exact.  I'm sure everyone was sitting there biting their nails waiting for my next post....yeah. 
 
So I've had several sessions that I've done since my last post.  I've also gone ahead and changed my logo again.  Yessir, I did.  I know you're probably not supposed to do that, but I don't care.  It all comes down to what I like, and if I want to change my logo 700 times, and confuse the heck out of everyone, well, it's my decision and I have to live with it.  This photography thing (hobby?  side job?  I don't even know what to call it anymore), is fairly new anyway.  I think when you start a small business, it takes a while to know exactly what you want as far as branding goes, anyway.  And I think it's normal for logos to evolve with the business, yes?  Either way, here it is:
I still kept the same concept from before.  It's supposed to represent several things.  First off, the camera is a no-brainer.  Ra-Visions stands for "Rachel's Visions", so I thought it necessary to show some sort of "vision" in the lens of my camera.  Inside we have 3 birds sitting on a telephone wire.  The 3 birds represent my kids (hence the 3 different sizes).  The telephone wire represents where me and Randy met (the phone company, where we work).  I used the original birds from my first logo, but made them different sizes, and kept the flowers and camera, but just changed the camera and flowers.  The colors are pretty much the same palette.  I loved the original logo, but I don't know if it's just because I'm so fickle, but I wanted a change.  I love to draw (though I hardly ever do any more), so I like how this camera looks like a sketch.  Plus, it was just fun to make changes.   Hopefully I'm done, because now my business cards/labels don't match.  I just got them, too.  I plan on using the rest of them before updating, too, because I'm not going to be wasteful in the name of business purposes.
 
OH!  I made an instagram account for RaVisions Photography.  It will have the occasional photography-related photo, but really, it's just for entertainment (if you can call it entertaining).  I have a pinterest, too.  I would post the link to my pinterest board, but it's so unorganized that I'm ashamed of it.  In order for me to get it organized and beautiful like some of the others I've seen, it would take me weeks.  I am not a very organized person, and I don't want anyone being witness to that.  I'm one of those people where once I DO actually organize, then I have no idea where anything is.  I do just fine in my little unorganized bubble.
