Images to Have and to Hold

(In progress) Imagestohaveandtohold.com / Images2haveand2hold.com – Ad campaign focusing on child photography. Scope: photography, copy, design.

I have always enjoyed photographing children because they remind us that we should always continue to expand our horizons and follow our hearts. The pristine process of formulating an idea, or expression, after a child experiences something for the first time is so humbling and inspiring. Children share their thoughts and dreams without hesitation or censorship, and their eagerness for exploration and discovery is what I enjoy capturing. Photos: ©kiersten a. stein

I can’t say enough about Kiersten. I posted a project on a service provider portal expecting to find someone who could provide quality design as I directed. What I got was an expert in the field with an equally expert team able to take my ideas and make them 10x better than I could have imagined. Kiersten’s designs and materials have been spot on every time. Kiersten has helped our Control Panel Division grow, while staying profitable and has had the good humor to rebrand our 25-yr company and all that goes hand-in-hand with such an endeavor. It’s been a great time!
