I wanted to continue featuring blogs that I’ve done extensive work on, and this is one of them.  Jenny provided me a jpeg mock-up to of the blog she wanted, and it proved to be a wonderful way to describe her vision.   She knew exactly what she wanted: right down to the size of each text element and the links below each post.  The end product is simple, yet elegant, and also unique at the same time.  Visit her blog at http://jennymasonphotography.com/blog.

I thought it would be nice to start a new series of featured blogs, just to show (off) what blogs I’ve been working on recently. Barb Uil of Jinkyart has been an (online) friend of mine for 5 years, and we finally got to meet a couple months ago in March for a workshop she was speaking at in San Francisco. I’ve admired her for years, and I credit much to her for getting me into photography in the first place.

Barb has paved her own brand and style of children’s portraiture and she channeled that talent into designing her blog, which she graciously allowed me to help her formulate. Hers is the first real “ground-up” blog that I’ve designed, basically meaning that the look and layout was completely designed from scratch. I did incorporate the Jillij theme for the menu. The main focal point is the framed post image, which showcases Jinky’s beautiful work. I convinced her that she just HAD to start doing comments again, so I came up with the hidden inline comments that I think came out pretty slick. It was a wonderfully collaborative effort that I enjoyed working on.
