We’re giving away an identity…because 40+ is how many business identities we have created for photographers, photography studios or photography related, since 2008. We are so grateful to be embraced in this world of creatives and entrepreneurs, who are nothing short of amazing. We’ve been to your seminars, sat in your forums, read your periodicals, followed your blogs and tried out your products. We humbly thank you for accepting us into your fold, and appreciating our work, and keeping us employed.
We would like to take this time to give back to the photography community that has given us so much. We will be giving away a scholarship of 1 identity ($3000 value) to an up and coming photographer. Photographer must be in their first year of business; wedding, portrait, or commercial. Submissions of: contact info, url and 3 sample photos (saved for web please) must be sent to info@identitykitchen.com. Feel free to nominate someone you know to be inspirational, phenomenal and on their way to be the next… Deadline for entries is March 1, 2010.

It has been a long time coming, our very own custom blogsite, and we couldn’t be more excited! All these bells and whistles. Blog feed, social media links, SEO opimization…it even has that new car smell (should I be worried?) It has been a group effort and a year in the making, so a special thanks go out to Mandee (our Design Sommelier) and a big, big thanks to Marty (our Gourmet WordPress Chef and Code Connoisseur). Without his genius, none of this would have been possible. Also, big props to some close friends of IDK – you know who you are – who took the time to check out our site during the soft launch phase. If you find any mistakes, I’ll be happy to give you their emails ;) Seriously though, thank you so much for being part of our virtual team!
Our site is built entirely in WordPress. What’s that? “Doesn’t look like a WordPress site”, you say. This is what we have been cookin’ up over at IDK. Custom portfolio WordPress websites that have all the updateability and findability benefits of an open source site, but the look and feel of a flash site. Plus, we customize each site to maximize your social media marketing.
What has your site done for you lately?
PS: WE’RE GIVING AWAY FREE STUFF. Starting with 3 free set of marketing templates – your choice from Identity Cafe. Enter by leaving a comment. Extra entries will be given to anyone who tweets about it. Are you following? 3 winners will be selected at random. That should be about one per reader…perf.
PSS: I want those shoes!

Happy New Year everyone! We’ve been busy bees over here at IDK. We are in the final phases of designing our own blogsite (Shoemaker’s shoes), where we cannot wait to blog like crazy. We have so many brands to talk about and feature. So many amazing clients we have worked with this year. We just launched our favorite blogsite ever.
We are particularly excited about our latest additions to Identity Cafe, which is our Branding To Go store. We are selling 6 new collections of marketing templates for photographers, that you can customize, update, take apart, print and generally use to promote the daylights out of your business.

We recently added photography holiday cards to our répertoire, expanding Identity Kitchen to Identity Cafe. We are offering a 20% off through November 6th. Use code: IDENTITYCAFE20. Our Retro Collection is inspired by a simpler holiday time–of sugar cookies and peppermints and beautiful handcrafted cards. Your clients’ photos can easily be integrated into the template, and colors and inscriptions can easily be changed. There are 6 designs in all. Enjoy!
