V-Day

My wife and I just celebrated our 6th valentines day together! We had a great dinner at the Kill Devil Grill and then snuggled up on the leather couch and watched a movie.

I called The Embellishers about a month ago and had them make up some flowers for me and WOW are they great! They dropped the flowers off at Laurens work and made all the other women green with envy!

Great job Gail and Brenda

6 years of HOT dates!

Lauren Lee Coleman is my best friend! Today I am celebrating my 6^th dating anniversary!

My wife is the smartest, kindest, HOTTIEST woman that I know. I am so thankful that God has blessed me with a woman that is perfect for me.

I have known Lauren since I was 5 years old! We grew up attending Nags Head Church together. It wasn’t until I was 16 years old that I started thinking of her as anything other than a friend. When I decided this I fell “head over heels” in love. After MUCH persuasion I convinced Lauren go to lunch with me, 6 years ago today.

Google

Well I’ve been doing this now for a while, and I have just now decided to commit as many wedding resources to the name “ColemanShots” as possible.

Old Breakdown:

colemanshots= artistic , grungy band stuff and family and baby shoots.

colemanshotsWEDDINGS= weddings

I use Google analytics to track visits to my website. What I found was: Brides typing colemanshots or outer banks wedding into a search engine and the were getting my old colemanshots(grungy) web site popping up. A bride then would have to click weddings on the menu bar. (it was just too many hoops)

What I have done is joined colemanshots & colemanshotsWEDDINGS. You can now type in ColemanShots.com and colemanshotsWEDDINGS.com into you search and get to the same place. I’m trying to hake it easier for brides to find me.

Don’t worry, I didn’t kill my personal artistic stuff. I just started a new website richcolemanPHOTOGRAPHY.com this is the old CS site.

Lastley I am also working on my design site richcolemanDesign.com coming soon!!!

Hope this clarifies things :)
