Redesign For Cactus Flower

Molly and Liv model for the Cactus Flower Pre-Spring LookBook

Alright, I’m going to be honest – I feel rather proud of myself. I just finished redesigning the Cactus Flower website, and it was no easy task! I painted a new background, added a new header, installed stream-lined jQuery sliders and went for an overall light and airy design for a girly vibe. And not to toot my own horn or anything *ahem*,  it was my first professional photo-session on my own. Needless to say, I’ve put a lot of hours into it all – meaning I am also very sleepy. Now I am off to work on a portrait of a very lovely girl, and then off to bed. Good night, my sweets.

(Yes, so definitely check out the new look on the CF website, as well as their new look book! There are tons of cute dresses that are certainly sure to steal your heart and break your wallet!)

    Wow, the new website looks amazing! Great job, Aya! And seeing your beautiful new background makes me wish I had a tablet to draw on! The flowers are lovely!

      Thank you so so much! And actually, I don’t use a tablet… I used to, but I always had my son on my lap and so I got out of practice and ended up more comfortable with the mouse instead! I use the “pen” tool on Adobe CS5 though, which makes the lines seem more precise and crisp :)
