Today is the day I put it all out there. The big plan. What I’m willing & available to do for you. Are you ready for it? (I am! I’m super excited!!!)
I’ve been blogging now since 2000. You have seen me talk about a lot of different things. And as you saw me post last week, I’ve been having a big debate about where this blog should go. I would say that it has been an internal debate, but to be honest I called in the experts on this one – from asking you to weigh in here, over on Twitter, to emailing Sean Low and calling Regina Holder, Dane Sanders and Anne-Marie the Soap Queen.
I thought I needed advice, but in the process of talking about it I knew exactly what I needed to do. It was solidified when Anne-Marie said it before I even finished my sentence. Dane & Sean both weighed in that it was time to put my experience to good use and to share it with the world. Regina let me talk through it all like she is so great at doing.
It is time to put some geek spice back into the BigPinkCookie.com. A dash of flavor and a lot of love. It is time to share what I know, from writing to helping you build a better blog.
I’ll still be writing on my wedding photography blog, and I’ll still be posting over at PhotoLoveCat and WhollyMatrimony!. But this site is officially changing … well, back to what it used to be. A hodge-podge of things, but mostly my thoughts on many different business related topics – especially where business and the internet collide. (Personal things might pop up from time to time, but those are still far more likely to appear on my Twitter account then they are here.)
I devour all I can all the time about marketing, branding, seo consulting company, blogging tips, and the whole online experience. Things we all need to make our creative businesses grow. Tips & tricks for small business owners. I am constantly answering questions on how to be a better blogger, how to improve your traffic, how to make potential clients take that next step to hiring you. I also often help people install and configure WordPress, set up themes, optimize their blog — and I’m ready to offer my help to a broader audience. (Pricelists coming soon, but for now I’m happy to provide you with a custom quote if you need anything.)
I am so excited about sharing all of this with you – again! I’m not sure what happened, and why I stopped. I do know a lot of it coincided with selling the blog hosting company and launching my photography business, but my love of the topic themselves never ended. I am officially getting my geek on again. My focus will definitely be photographers (because it is what I know), but what I have to share will apply to all different types of creative people, in the wedding industry and beyond.
That is the back of my new business cards for BigPinkCookie.com over there – what do you think? (I adore it, but I think that looking at a cookie for hours on end while designing makes me hungry!)
If there is one thing I’ve learned in the past year, it is to never set a limit to your dreams, because you will be amazed at where they can take you!
I have to say, it feels pretty good to be home. I’ve come full circle, and I couldn’t be happier.

Yay! I’m excited to see what you’ll write here. You’re always so helpful and knowledgeable. My personal blog has been neglected for a while, and once I get my business of the ground, hopefully it’ll find its true purpose too.
maybe you should eat some frosting out of the can.
yay! i’m glad you are getting this going. i think a photo geek consulting biz is in your near future!
Yay! I’m excited to see you getting your geek on again 🙂 I know I’m personally interested in all of your great photography and marketing advice, so I’m sure others are as well.
This is awesome news Christine! There’s been some talk lately about ppl offering consulting services, seminars, etc. without the real world expertise to back it up. Well, take notice world, Christine is the REAL DEAL. Can’t wait to see what you have in store.

Yay, Christine! I’m so excited for you, and to read everything you have to share. I’ve been reading you since the “blah, blah, blog” days and look forward to the years to come.
I finally did it! I bought the FastTrack Photographer book!! I’ve been wanting too but I haven’t done it yet. And your latest blogs finally kicked me in the butt and got me to do it. Now off to start reading!
