My client Kay has figured out a way to save herself time & money. Kay prefers to give a sentimental gift for those in her social circle and rather then driving to Kohls or Target, shopping for an hour or scooping up a gift card, Kay simply calls me & tells me 3-5 things her recipient is interested in & .
Hello, Just wanted to share new pics I received from Go Daddy today. We recently spent a Sunday together in late April shooting videos & still photography for their upcoming small business campaign.
