graphic design :: greensboro photographer

I jump at the chance to lend my creative skills to fellow small business owners, so when the ladies behind these two businesses asked me to help them design their logos, I was thrilled.

Kaley, co-owner of Studio 10 Consulting, is my former college roommate, was maid-of-honor in my wedding, and is one of my all-around very best friends. Kaley, and her co-owner and friend, Ashley, have more than 10 years of combined experience competing in the Miss America Organization and more than 30 years combined experience performing on stage, so they decided to pass their wisdom and advice along to others in hopes of helping them achieve their dreams! I was so excited to help these ladies develop some branding for their business.

Here are a few of the concepts that I developed....

This next logo was designed for a client, owner of hoopLoveGSO, whose family I photographed last fall. Based in Greensboro, Kaiya and her husband offer hoopdance classes and workshops, performances, and custom crafted hoops.

Hot off the presses, we just finalized this design today:

I can't wait to see this design on some t-shirts! Learn more about hoopLoveGSO here.

Our next design project includes some brand new save-the-dates and engagement announcement designs - coming soon!

our new addition :: greensboro photographer

On Friday, after nearly four hours of shivering while waiting outside at Greensboro's Friendly Center, we, the Glessners, welcomed our latest addition to the family...

...the iPad 2!

(Okay... so maybe it shouldn't quite be considered a member of the family, despite Josh ooo'ing and aah'ing over it as if it were a newborn.)

We are so excited about our latest purchase and what it means for Glessner Photography - no more lugging around bulky portfolios and planners to meetings and the ability to display custom slideshows at events, weddings and more! We'll be letting you, our clients and fellow photogs and vendors, know more about the uses we find for the iPad in the photography business, the wedding business, and at your special event as we learn more about it ourselves.

Happy Monday everyone!

I am thrilled to announce that my dear friend Ashley is engaged!

Ashley and I have known each other for 10 years (a decade... wow!), and I am so honored that she has asked us to photograph her autumn wedding in my home state of Mississippi. 

Congratulations Ashley and Ryan! Enjoy your time as an engaged couple and have fun planning your upcoming wedding!
