Something to talk about

"As new small business owners we couldn't be more pleased to have chosen kitestring for our initial branding, website, and ongoing creative communications needs. Their commitment to the success of their clients is obvious in every aspect of their work. Our relationship has come to feel very much like a partnership and we look forward to future projects with them."

Tis the season to get a portrait....fa la la la la, la la, la la.

Our good friend and fab photographer is offering a Christmas special. Marta is our photographer of choice for all our marketing materials. She rocks. See her post below!

Holiday Specials!!
It's That Time Again...
Let's get these portraits done!

If you know me by now, you know that I am not the type of photographer to take the "traditional" Christmas Portraits with the tree in the background and and the kids in fancy Christmas outfits. I like to keep it simple and focus on the people and their expressions and interactions. This way the images aren't limited to Christmas alone but can be timeless portraits that you can enjoy for years to come. This year my Holiday Special is for all of October and November. We want to get these photos done soon and not leave everything to the last minute!!! Photo Sessions can be done in the studio or you can have a fall/winter outdoor session. This year's Holiday Special is $100 off each session!! But this is only for October and November, so don't wait until December! The sooner we get the photo shoot going the more likely you are to get your Christmas Cards out on time!! Please call or email me if you have any questions or want to go ahead and book your session! See you soon!
