Welcome to my new site! After several years I have moved the site onto a new server with a fresh open fell. I think you will enjoy the changes and it will make your visits here to see the photos of our local students more enjoyable.
What are some of the changes? The highlights include:
More Exciting Photographs
The new website gives me an opportunity to publish photos in different ways. You will see more video, more behind the scenes of portrait shoots, more exciting photos of your friends, and just more fun! I am excited about using my new 360-degree camera as football and volleyball games, bringing you a new view of the game, and the website will allow me to present these to you in ways I never could before!
Account Logins
Instead of entering your email addresses to see any new photo album, even multiple times in a single session, the site now has a single log-in. You will be asked to register one time, letting me know a bit about who you are so that I can reach out to you later, and then you will be able to log in one time on your phone or desktop and see everything until you log out. I think this will make the site easier to use, and hope you do too!
Better Mobile Phone Support
The original site was created when Blackberries were the top-of-the-line phones. Now nearly 80% of the visitors to this site use iPhones. The site needed to upgrade to make it more enjoyable for visitors on the popular iPhone.
Watermark Free Images for Sale
For those times when you love an image, and you want to share it with friends and families without a watermark, I now offer affordable watermark-free images available through the website for instant download so that you can keep them on your phone without the dandelion watermark. Also, the new watermark has been redesigned to let you see more of the image. If purchasing single images aren’t what you are looking for, don’t forget that Memory Books allows you to capture your entire season in one album.
Social Media Sharing Made Easier
Every page now has an easy-to-find social media buttons on the right side of the screen and at the bottom of the page. These buttons will allow you to share that page with a simple click. Please, give it a try on your favorite page!
Comments
The website now offers a more robust comment section. Like a page or a photo? Let me know in the comment section on each post. The feedback helps me decide what to take more photos of, so if you want me to come to more of a certain event, be sure to let me know by email and making a comment on a post.
More Room to Showcase You!
I take photos of so many activities in the community, and I love the flexibility of this new site to showcase these activities and make it easier to find and share. I can’t wait to build new and exciting content that features our area’s high school and middle school students in ways that will make you proud!
Please let me know your thoughts about the site in the comments below! I love working with the young people of Henderson and Buncombe Counties and am grateful for the feedback.

P.S. For fun, I collected some screenshots of what Blue Ridge Expressions has looked like over the years. I love this progression, and I hope you will too!
