People frequently ask me for the contacts of web designers, photographers who do headshots, etc., so I’ve decided to compile a list of my resources.

Ilsa Brink specializes in author websites.
Bruno Trindade did Anna Alter’s cool author websites.

Annie A. Chen did this wonderful site for my friend Molly Russell at 100% Organized.

Photographers
Chris Hardy did my photo over there on the right.
Steve Babuljak does all kinds of photography. (We used him for our wedding because we wanted a journalistic style with lots of black and white photos.)
Angela Lang specializes in portraits, but does everything, too.
