Oooof. I like your new ideas. Such a good use of contrast and color.

The contrast really serves to drag the eye down to the photography in the lower center right. And the succulents provide a refreshing splash of color that keeps the page from getting too stark. I like your navigation and titling fonts choice. It looks suitably antique to go with the black and white photos, but modern enough to go with the clean white layout. It almost looks typewritten. Your navigation is large and easy to find/use. Along with establishing visual dominance the black image bar also looks a bit like a page from a photo gallery. You've also used proximity to create three solid blocks of objects that are interconnected by the large succulent image on the left.

I think rotating/moving the right succulent up a bit and having it clip the edges of your photo area would add a little bit more depth. A lighter font would have worked a little better for your bodycopy. Right now it's a little heavy. Your navigation buttons have different amounts of space between them.

Nice job.

I like the pictures that you chose. Maybe it is just for me, but some part is little hard to read such as email.

Kaitlyn your photos and beautiful and the clipping mask to outline your flowers look outstanding!
I love your description of self and your overall layout.
If I was to give you something to think about, maybe the type choice used for your self-description, something more legible, san serif?

The images are really great! I still want to up the ante on your name though? (maybe just me) The body-copy is interesting that each line starts with the same letter, but it makes me want to see the text alignment as a cascade or to have a different weight because of the right edges.

Hello, I really like how you used the flowers to work with the page, and almost give it a 3D effect with them. It looks really cool.

really nice. I might remove the black box behind the photos and let your flower petals drape over a little on the edges.
