I just completed the website for Dirkhund Training, and I really love the way it turned out! All the photography is by me as well, and you might notice that there are a few photos of my dog in there : ) Erin specializes in obedience, behavioral and aggression training in dogs. If you have a wild dog in your life and are looking for training, give her a call. Check out the site in full at:

I just finished a redesign of a web portfolio site for local artist, Deborah Friedman, whom I have worked with for several years. I am so happy with the site and really think the new design turned out beautiful, truly complementing her work. Her contemporary and abstract style involves so much movement, I've always thought of her paintings as something like visual music. You can view the site in its entirety here:

I know my site doesn't mention that I'm a web designer, but here I am again with another finished design, lol! For the record, I much prefer photography but became a web designer out of necessity in building my own site. Since then, I have designed several dozen sites, both private and corporate.
This time, I just finished the website for my good friend, Kelly Root at
germainephotography.com. Kelly and I went to CCS together, have shot a few weddings together, taught at the same school together, and have basically been partners in crime for some while. If you frequent local rock shows, you may know her by her blood curdling scream, as she is definitely the loudest : ) She currently works full time as a forensic photographer for the Wayne County Medical Examiner and does freelance photography on the side. I think the site looks awesome and wish her the best of luck!

I just finished designing my husband's portfolio website for his illustration and I absolutely love the way it turned out!!! The site is
www.davedrawsgood.com (and yes, it is ironically grammatically incorrect). Unlike some people that specialize in one part of the process, he does everything from penciling, to inking, lettering, coloring, etc. I think it all looks pretty sweet. His portfolio is also ever-changing, so I would expect what's up there now to be updated fairly rapidly. Check it out and enjoy!

I know this site is supposed to mainly focus on photography, but I still design websites here and there and
www.letsrockcf.org is one of them. A while ago I told Emily, the founder of the Let's Rock CF Foundation, that I would do a site pro bono. However, my generosity turned to panic once I found out I had to design a Wordpress template (!) which I knew nothing about. Let's just say that it was a total learning experience since I had no idea how different Wordpress was from Blogger. Also her original version of Wordpress was pretty out of date, causing a ton of problems. Once I got it current things went a lot smoother.
Anyway, after many trials and tribulations, I am done with part one of the redesign. I finally got through the Wordpress ordeal and published the new opening page and blog design for the site. Part two will come down the road and will include a shopping page with merchandise, a page for online donations, and a page dedicated to the annual Just Let Me Breathe Benefit Concert, which is generally held at the Royal Oak Music Theater during the coldest week of winter.

On another note, I have also designed a site for my mom, who has re-entered the realtor world after working 15 years in new construction sales. Her site is
listwithtrish.com. Some of my architectural photos are in use there, and I must take credit for the "
area info" section. I compiled all of the links I could imagine worthwhile to the average person of Macomb/Oakland county, trying not to be obnoxiously cluttered. If you know of anything I missed, let me know. (FYI I know I didn't include the Lions, though...)
