New Year. New Changes.

Another snow storm is currently sweeping through Maine as we speak. The flakes coming down are big and fluffy. It looks like a winter wonder land outside my office window right now. I have my camera batteries charging in preparation for my first wedding of 2011, which is happening tomorrow in Ogunquit. It should prove to be a GORGEOUS, albeit chilly, day to tie the knot.Along with the increased pile of snow outside, there are a couple other changes that I wanted you all to be aware of. Although they should all (hopefully) be relatively unnoticeable to you, I feel it's only polite for me to share them with you just in case any issues arise. So, drum roll please....

SuzanneSimmonsPhotography.com is now officially

SuzanneSimmons.com!

You can get to the site no matter which address you type in, but save yourself the characters and use the short one instead. You might remember my acquisition of the new address this past fall and the change has now been completed.

Along with that change, comes subtle adjustments to other places that you can find me online.

The address for this blog is now: http://blog.suzannesimmons.com

Last fall I unveiled a new feature on my site, which I lovingly call my client portal. The portal can now be found at http://client.suzannesimmons.com in addition to through the link on my main site. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the portal, I decided to offer it as a way to reduce the use of paper within my business in order to become more environmentally friendly. To access your portal, please visit the client portal login page and click on forgot your password. It will send you a password and help you to set it to one of your choosing. (If your email address is not recognized, please double check it is the one that you have provided to me. If it still does not work, please contact me to ensure that I have enabled the portal for you.) Once you have logged in, you will be able to update your contact information, check your balance, view (and sign) contracts, as well as make your initial retainer payment. I'm going to be adding all kinds of new features so you can keep me up to date with your plans and so you can find all of your information in one convenient location. It's just one more thing that I'm trying to do to make your planning process be as stress free as possible.

Along the same lines, I have also added another email address () that I will be using in addition to the one that you currently have on file for me. You can use either one to get a hold of me, so just do whatever is most convenient for you. In the end, it is simply to try and reduce the amount of characters you need to type just to get a hold of me. Remember. My mantra is less stress. Sometimes that means getting a hold of me even quicker than you could before.

That wraps up this update from the snowy, froze corner of Maine that I call home. Stay warm and dry, everyone. It's going to be a chilly weekend!

Where I spend the majority of my time: Office at Home

P.S. Other changes are in the works for the site in between album designing. But I promise those changes won't change where you find me!
