A Cool Tip from Kay
If you haven't had the opportunity to visit Vintage Villages in Scottsdale - you MUST!!! It's absolutely the coolest Olde World home furnishing and accessories boutique. If you're looking for a unique gift, a "little something" to freshin' up a room's decor or need someone to come in and completely help you with home design . . . Vintage Villas is the place!
It has been my extreme pleasure to work with VV's owner, Jody, on a few recent projects. Yesterday we spent time visiting some of the amazing homes that showcase her 'design magic'. Here are some images to give you a taste of her (and her awesome team's) talent. You can also check out her website:

Portrait of the Month for May
Welcome to our new blog feature: Portrait of the Month!
The team here at Images by Kay and Co. will be voting each month for our favorite image and sharing it with you as well as the story that goes with it.
Megan, Chris and Mia Wall visited the studio last week for her One Year Portrait and brought a wonderful guest . . . Mia's Grandmother. We created this 'ladies only' generation portrait and we're sure it will be a treasured image for a long, long time.

5 Ways to Build & Maintain Client Ties
Pleasing clients is a fine art. Whether in photography, carpentry
or dentistry, business owners can take years developing an effective
formula for delivering quality services that help build client
ties. People-centered businesses, such as photo studios, flourish or
perish based on their ability to make clients feel good, appreciated
and satisfied with each and every interaction. This knack is the key
to building enduring client ties.
One photographer who has mastered the art of nurturing
client ties is lifestyle portrait artist Kay Eskridge, of Images by
Kay & Co. Photography (www.imagesbykay.com), in Phoenix,

Now you can see that I wasn't in my pajamas while giving it!

Successful Paws For A Cause Event
Saturday, May 9th was our second 'Paws For A Cause' portrait event and once again, with the help of loving pet owners, we were able to donate a lobby full of food, blankets, towels, toys, etc. to the animal shelters who so desperately need help. Through the PACC911 (Phoenix Animal Care Coalition, http://www.pacc911.org/) the donations were able to reach many small rescue shelters and the pets in their care.
The day was filled with wonderful animals, lots of fur and even two tortoises. Here are some images showing our 'pet wranglers' Kristin and Jamie hard at work, the results of their efforts and a few fuzzy little faces.
We appreciate those that supported our campaign and will be contacting you as soon as your images are ready to view on our website. Your complimentary 5x7 and our thanks will follow.
Look for our next Paws For A Cause event coming later this fall.
(I'll have the Benedryl and Red Bull restocked by then - yep, I'm allergic to dogs!)
