Change is a comin’ for Natale Photography

I released a very small sneak peek of the new marketing rolling out in the next few months.

New branding.  New website.  New blog.

Fresh design & Fresh ideas.

What do you think?  Like it?  Love it?  Gotta have it?  {ha, that’s from Coldstone Creamery}

I’m so excited, it’s been a long over due.

So with that I decided to be a little sneaky, just put it up on the BLOG & held a little impromptu contest to see who pays attention to the details…

It was fun, to read the responses I received both on FB & via e-mail. {thank-you for those that participated}

We had over 25 entries & three people that included all the same amount of detail in their answers {& some details that actually weren’t even new} & the person that was randomly selected as a winner was :

Kiara Krohn = CONGRATS

Contact the studio for information on how to use your $75 studio credit!

Would love to hear your thoughts on the new logo?

Will you be watching the Super Bowl tonight?

If you are, hopefully you’ll be cheering for the correct team : the Green Bay Packers.

If you would like a chance to win a studio credit for $45 {45 in honor of the 45th super bowl} head on over to my facebook page to enter

Natale Photography on Facebook

As a heads up, if you aren’t a “fan” of the page, you’ll have to “like” it first prior to commenting.

In order to win you must comment with your guess of the FINAL POINTS SCORE.

So an example answer would be this :

Packers 28 Steelers 14 = Total Points 42

It’s OK if more than one person has the same guess, I’ll offer a trivia question as a tie breaker.

Enjoy the little story board I put together for random Green Bay Packer things.

GO PACKERS!

Photogs, Photogs & MORE Photogs

Being a part of this industry not only means that we get to meet & photograph amazing clients but we as Professional Photographers also get to meet, work with, laugh with & bounce ideas off from other fabulous photographers.

This past year, this area has really expanded & I’m very grateful for all of the new friends both in person & online (for those that live too far away).

I think that sometimes people in this industry get too caught up in competition & worry about sharing information.  I truly believe in the exact opposite.  When you open yourself up to share, & learn from each other the possibilities are endless!
