The new website we created for Florida photographers Lily & Sparrow may be one of our favorites to date! Mandi and Haylee are wedding & portrait photographers based on the Emerald Coast of Florida and after looking at their gorgeous images for the past several weeks, we’re a little jealous of their coastal life. They came to us looking for help creating a website that is fun, neutral and easy to update. We gave their logo a tiny refresh and incorporated existing brand colors with a clean sans-serif font as well as a handwritten font to give the site an editorial feel. We’re so excited about the way it turned out!
Tell us a little about yourself. How did you get started in photography?
We are Haylee and Mandi! Individually we pursued photography, and over time, we decided to go into business together. Once we both had kids, we really hoped to capture those moments that pass so quickly, those in-between moments. Kids grow so fast, so taking photos preserved those moments. This quickly transferred into our desire to capture couple’s on their wedding day. It is the indescribable moments – when the groom sees his bride for the first time, when the bride’s dad gives his daughter away, when the best man gives an honorable toast, when the bride’s childhood best friend surprises her – so many raw and emotional moments that need to e documented, and we are honored to be a part of that!
Why did you decide to redesign your website?
Let’s just say our old website was our first website, and we are so thankful for growth in our business! Having small children and being pastor’s wives, our time is very limited. We’ve followed Davey and Krista for some time now, and knew they were just the right people to hire. It was totally worth it to hire them and use their talents where we lack.
What is your favorite part of your new site?
This is a hard question to answer! The whole site is such a big change from our original site. We the simplicity in design, making it easy to navigate and not be overwhelmed with an overload of information. If you go to our ‘meet us’ page (which we really love how it turned out!), you’ll learn more about who we are, and ‘simple’ describes us to a tee! Krista has a unique awareness when it comes to her job. We didn’t know each other when we hired Davey and Krista, but they somehow understood our hearts behind L&S and our site beautifully reflects who we are and what we are about. They truly exceeded our expectations!
Tell us about your ideal client:
Our ideal client has a huge heart for people. She is genuine, and puts others before herself. Quality time is her love language. She lights up the room when she walks in because of the overflowing joy within her. Though she is gentle, she has a spunky and witty side to her, which is what caught her almost-husband’s immediate attention. He serves his bride-to-be with care, and is head-over-heels in love with her. Family means the world to her. Our ideal client is joyful, passionate, and graceful.
Is there anything else you think people considering re-designing their website should know?
The best advice we can give is that it is definitely worth the money. We are not gifted in web-design, so it wasn’t worth the stress, nor the time, to try to create something that just didn’t match with what was in our heads. We tried that, and we failed! Just as we hope for our clients to trust us with their wedding day, you should trust a web-designer with your vision. Hire a professional, and don’t think twice about the money! Your business will greatly benefit from it! Living in the digital age, people want everything right in front of them. Having a website that portrays your work in a professional way is essential. You will not regret it!
