Well, you know the story of the shoemaker’s children. Identity Kitchen has been in massive need of a facelift for quite some time now (I mean THIS IS LA). While we are working on our new magic blogsite, full of bells and whistles and some stuff you’ve never seen before in WordPress, we decided to launch our brand botox. We cleaned up our own logo a bit, giving it a little more “kitchen” feel, and updated our tagline to include a little more of our studio personality (eh..hem, that is humor, not sarcasm).
We have completed so many fabulous projects at such a rapid rate this year, I’ve not even been able to blog about them. So we’ve photographed them –thank you Justine –and posted them on the website and we’ll go back and feature them one at a time on the blog. We also posted some really wonderful testimonials…aw shucks guys. Check out the new site here.

We try and be as green as possible over at IDK. My theory is if you have to print make it worth it. Oh, and use Anemone Letterpress . I guess someone else thought so also. The transparently debossed/letterpressed cards we did for Justine Ungaro are being featured on FPO (for print only). It is a really wonderful inspirational blog dedicated to all things printed. We are thrilled and honored. Thank you!

Working on Tricia B’s identity has been such a soothing experience. She is so wonderful to work with and open to new ideas. We created a look for her that was a bit French Provence, thus the lavender. When she said that environmental issues and elevating her brand are a priority, we thought letterpress and this amazing flower paper. Since we used the lavender motif in her logo we decided to print her gift certificates on this beautiful (and great smelling) flower paper. That way once her clients use them she can give them back to be planted in their garden. A beautiful flower patch can be a sweet smelling memory of their session together.
Thank you Tricia. And thank you Carrie for the amazing job, can wait to see your beautifully exfoliated hands.

That’s right we actually do work for clients that are not photographers…WHAT??!! LA Stylist Mom is a blogsite started by the fabulous fashionista B, who worked as a stylist for recording artists, television, and editorial for over 10 years, before becoming a Mom herself and helping dress the rest of us who have also joined those ranks. Great friend to Identity Kitchen and the UnBride, design work for B was and is a pleasure and inspirational. Check out her blog daily for fantastic fashion tips. We designed both her identity and blogsite, programming was done by the amazing and ever patient Marty Thornley.
PS: Check out her cute twitter feed.

A little over a week ago, Justine Ungaro Photography and Identity Kitchen moved into our new digs in the Noho Lofts. We’ve also added the talented genius Mandee, who’s work and blog entries you can look forward to in future posts. She’s been with IDK for less than two weeks and I am wondering how we’ve been surviving without her. Yeah Mandee!!
We’re calling it the home of caffeine and estrogen. It’s been super fun and a real creative rush. Thought you might like to see a shot of that pink couch we have been twittering about.
