This week I wanted to share one of my newest loves...Pinterest. Click here to find my Pinterest boards. I've always loved making vision boards and scrapbooks, so this is heaven for a girl like me. By now you've probably heard of Pinterest, since it's the fastest growing social media network on the planet. But do you know what it is, or how it can help you plan a wedding? Or a baby shower? Or design your dream home? Here's how Pinterest describes what it is:
"Pinterest is a virtual pinboard. Pinterest allows you to organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. You can browse pinboards created by other people to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and share their favorite recipes."
I've created boards called "we heart weddings" with some of my favourite images and resources. You can also get to know me and what I'm into, and I hope to do the same with you too. It's one of the many things I love about the site. You can tell a lot about a person by what they're pinning!
A lot has been said lately about Pinterest's Terms of Use, and the concerns people have, in particular those of other photographers. That's a whole other post in itself...I could also go on and on about the amazing ways Pinterest is driving traffic to businesses, but another time...For now I'll say that I think it's an incredible resource, especially for brides, and we love getting to connect with our clients this way.
Be sure to follow us on Pinterest and let us know what you think. How are you using Pinterest to plan your wedding, or anything else really cool?
'til next time,
Amanda
