Curls and Dippity-Do

The thought was to update the look of our homepage and post a visual of what we do. This same image needed to speak to a wide range of people and interests and capture my affliation as the founder.

Fast forward to the day that the photo is being shot of me. My hair was flawless, curly and springy. You know those times when you find excuses to walk by the mirror just to get another look?

In the actual picture my cute, springy curls looked like snap on hair and my butt was sticking out about three feet from behind the boxes. Bless my web wizards heart, he photo shopped it out and then called me. "Della, look at these two pictures...now you see it, now you don't...isnt that cute?"

The picture itself was outstanding with the setting, lighting and items on the table looking so colorful, distinctive and cheery. The message was captured in a single shot.

Two days later all of the updates were live on the homepage. I emailed a note to a variety of eyes asking for post feedback. All of which were in favor of the concept and the connection.

I now know how the Oprah's of the world feel. I was singled out of the photo about my smile, the color of my shirt, and asked if I'd ever had a picture taken before.

At the end of the day It's good to know that I'm around those that care enough to be honest.
