One Step at a Time

Taken with my iPhone with the Hipstamatic App at the Train Museum in Wichita, KS.

The beginning of this year has been a rough one for our family (and some good friends too). If death truly comes in threes, we have surpassed our limit. The one good thing about going through a hard time is that it makes you introspective and rethink what is truly important. It helps you to clean out mental cobwebs (and physical ones too). You take what you have learned about yourself and learn to move out of your rut and make life as meaningful as you possible can. Of course, true change takes time and works best just one step at a time.

New Logo for a New Company

Chilcoat Studios would like to introduce Beyond Words Designs. Stephanie Dyer, the founder, has taken a really difficult story and situation and created a amazing way to remember with beauty. Please check out her story and website and give her lots of great feedback. Thanks to Stephanie for allowing Chilcoat Studios to be a part of her journey.

An Inspiration!

You have just got to check out this new online magazine entitled Nonpareil. The designers are on Twitter too: @nonpareilmag) The pictures are just beautiful and the ideas are great. Lots of how-to's and projects included. It is pretty girly but lots of fun. Pieces like this make me want to work on my photography skills. Yeah, I'll put that on my list too.

New Web Project

Yes, it is true that I used my influence with my son's school (Annapolis Christian Academy) to put his cute face on the front page of their new website. How could I resist? Ok, there are other cute kids on the site too...

The photos on this site were taken by an amazing photographer new to the area. Her name is Jannelle Reed and is also in the process of a web redesign. I will post her new URL when she is ready. She is so amazing with families and kids and she takes such great "in the moment" shots. The ACA site will be populated with more of Jenelle's photos as I continue to enhance.
