Yup. Way behind, again... but here's some winter news!

Hey everybody!  Lots going on at CWP including a completely new loook for my website, so check it out if you haven't already!  

I will post images soon, but I wanted to be sure to update you on upcoming events:

Going on now thru December 7, 2009 is the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Associations's annual online auction Bids For Kids, which I am a participant again this year.  Get some holiday shopping done while supporting kids and the environment!

Thanks for all that voted for me in the Cleveland Fox 8 HOT List!  I unfortunately didn't win this year, but your support was wonderfully overwhelming to me, so thank you!!! 

Have you noticed my new logo and branding?  I just love it and wanted to share my design "secret agent!"  If you have your own small business and looking for logo design or marketing material help - I highly recommend contacting graphic designer, Amber Mabe.  Her portfolio is beauiful!  I hope you give her a call.  She's incredible to work with and has wonderful ideas! 

Lastly, please visit me on Facebook and "Become a Fan" of Catherine Widemire Photography!  Thank you for your continued support of my work! 

See you again on my blog real soon!  Enjoy the season!
