My New Website: Chico California Photographer

Hooray! Happy day! My new website is DONE!! If you asked me a few weeks ago if I would have a new website RIGHT NOW, I would say no way! Why, well I was completely content with my old one and loved it a whole lot. I spent many many hours updating it, improving it, adding current photos, etc and I was not about to start a new one. Well, let me tell you how this came about... ;)

For probably about a year, I have thought about joining a website building company/photography community called SHOWIT. All my fav photographers are part of it and I had heard wonderful things about it! The reason I didn't join it sooner is because (like I mentioned above) I LOVED my old website and I was not ready to make a new one. Plus, making your own website takes a lot of time and hard work. I spent MANY late 5am nights trying to get it done...and I'm so happy it's finally finished! I randomly decided one night to check out Showit and give the 30-day free trial a run. Who knew that I would get HOOKED and within 2days decided to go full speed ahead building my website! Now really is the best time to do it...before wedding season starts getting crazy :) So happy with my decision to do my new website. I am in love with it even more then the other one. The quality, crispness, fluidity, sharpness, colors, etc is just so so amazing!! It's so important to keep moving forward in my photography and this is just one more step in doing so :)

Here is the link to my new website!!! Check it out here: www.katelynowensphotography.com :)

So...here is where you come in!! In honor of launching my new website, I will be doing a few giveaways!! Hooray!! There are a few places I really LOVE. Anthropologie is one of them! When I first walked into that store I was in love! It is the only store I've ever walked into and felt like, "wow, this is me!". Love how it has BOTH clothes and home decor!! They sure know the way to my heart ;) Anyway! The first give-away is a $50 Anthropologie gift card!! Yay!!

The second place I really like is World Market! As you know, I'm obsessed with decorating and Love love love their decor. The second give-away is a $25 World Market gift card!! And thirdly, I LOVE the Tea-bar here in chico!! I'm not a coffee drinker and love all their yummy drinks. Such a fun place to go and my favorite place to have client meetings. The third give-away is a $15 Tea-bar gift card! Hooray! If you win the t-bar gift card and don't live in or near chico, I will send you a starbucks gift card in it's place :)

  7. The website looks great, Katelyn! The homepage alone showcases the kind of services that you offer and makes me want to look around more. I'm sure that's how first-time visitors would feel too. :) I also have to say that it's a great idea to hold this contest on social media. Not only are you treating your loyal followers, but it's also great marketing to attract potential customers.

  8. Nice work on your website! If you want to increase it's online visibility. Doing a little SEO optimization on it won't hurt.
