Testimonials from clients we’ve worked with.
Diane Casey Luong | RE/MAX Vision
Joe at Kill the Ball Media is an integral part of my business. His talent for photography is outstanding and his creative ability to bring my ideas to life never cease to amaze. Joe also does an incredible job managing my website and social media activities. We’ve worked together for more 10 years, and I hope we’ll be collaborating for at least 10 more.

Worcester Central Kids Calendar has had the pleasure of working with Joe/Kill the Ball Media on website projects, social media training and most recently commercial photography at our Summer Camp Expo.
He is very talented and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.
JoAnn Diverdi | Podcaster, Author
When you work with Joe at Kill the Ball Media you get a one-man full-service agency. But, it’s his photographic eye that impresses me the most.
With each shot, Joe is sensitive to color, composition & lighting, creating a dynamic image.
But, that’s not all! He’s there to tell a story. His CLIENT’S STORY. And he does that in such a way as to help his clients sell their passion & their product with a nod to quality & respect to their prospective customers.
Jane Shivick | Opera Singer, Educator
Joe is an excellent photographer who always brings an artistic approach to his work. He is extremely reliable, punctual, and comes to any shoot ready to work!
Joe recently photographed a musical performance that I produced and starred in recently at historic Mechanics Hall in Central Massachusetts. The performance was in honor of my beloved husband who tragically passed away from Covid-19 complications 32 months ago. Joe was able to literally capture my passion, my hope for the future, and my pain in his shots. He understood the event so well and was very “present” all the while working in the background. I was thrilled with his work, his demeanor, and his overall artistic style.
I would recommend Joe and Kill the Ball Media to anyone (specifically in the Performing Arts industry), in addition to anyone who is as critical as I am when it comes to photography.
Thank you for helping me to capture this special moment in my life, Joe! I’ll always be grateful for your attention to detail and for making sure I had what I wanted from the event.
Ben Lefebvre | Professional Carpenter
The best kept business resource secret in Worcester County!
Kill the Ball Media has been a fantastic resource for my small woodworking business. Joe is able to display my work in a way that I cannot, and as a carpenter that is extremely valuable because I can’t lug around every table I’ve made to show potential customers. He is very easy to work with, has years of business experience to share, and has a valuable network of relationships with professionals throughout the region.
I greatly look forward to every opportunity I have to work with Joe Santa Maria and Kill the Ball Media
Danielle Desrosiers | Owner, The Green Plate
I had the pleasure of meeting Joe a few years back. His energy and passion for his business and life was infectious.
Joe and I spoke on a number of occasions and when the time came, I knew there was no other choice but to hire Kill The Ball Media to reconstruct my website. From the moment we started to discuss the layout etc, I felt he understood exactly the direction I wanted to go. (I have worked with a number of other web designers and NOONE compares to Kill the Ball Media!!) EVERY time we discussed adjustments, Joe was punctual in making the changes.
I could not be happier with the site he created for me, the individual attention he gave it, and most of all his undenying passion in perfecting it to my liking.
I highly recommend Kill the Ball Media!!! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Joe!
Patrick Hare | President, Planting the Seed Foundation
I’ve worked with Joe now for a number of years, both on website design for a local nonprofit and my business hiring him to do professional photography. Joe is an absolute professional, very responsive and does amazing work.
When it comes to web design, social media, media events, and photography Kill The Ball Media is always top of my list!
Katherine Butterfield | Swim School Director
Working with Kill the Ball media is always a positive experience and I look forward to collaborating with him on new project ideas for our company! We always receive positive feedback from parents who have navigated our website.
Highly recommend Joe and his team.
Christine Murray | Worcester Public Library Foundation
I have had the pleasure of working with Joe Santa Maria and Kill the Ball Media over the last few years when Joe has taken photographs at our annual fundraising event.
He is very professional, gifted and creative.
Each year, the beautiful photos he has taken have truly captured the atmosphere and feel of the evening. I would highly recommend him!!
Rex Macapinlac | Bay State Savings Bank
Joe of Kill the Ball Media is an absolute delight to work with. Knowledgeable, open to ideas, and a great communicator. Over multiple visits this year, Joe has assisted our Bank with employee headshots (indoor and outdoor) as well as management photo-shoots. No matter the environment or number of people in the shoot, Joe always manages to set up and produce a clean shot. He’s got the eye for it. Lastly, he’s an endless well of information, with plenty of perspective on visual branding and how to deliver content to customers effectively. Joe’s been around — a media vet in content creation. So it’s extremely refreshing to see someone still so engaged in their craft with a wide-eyed eagerness on set. So, thanks Joe! Keep “killing” it.
Jocelyn Coughlin | Fit Club Foundation
I have had the pleasure of working with Joe Santa Maria and Kill the Ball Media on multiple projects, personal and professional. Not only does he take the most beautiful images but he is kind, professional, and honest.
I would recommend Joe and Kill the Ball to anyone seeking quality products and exposure to all!
David Gonick | The Kingsbury Club
Joe has been has been doing an amazing job designing flyers and other printed materials for my staff and I over the past 3 years. He does everything that is asked of him and more in his work. Thank you Kill the Ball Media, you make all of our jobs that much easier.
Tony Economou | RE/MAX Vision
Joe and Kill the Ball Media hit it out of the park. Joe presented a new, fresh web site for my real estate business. His patience with me, working with my additions and requests was priceless. You owe it to yourself to reach out to Joe and Kill the Ball Media. Thank you, Joe!
Laura Savage |Praesom Healthcare
After a less than satisfying experience with another company, I made the switch to Kill the Ball Media for several projects for by local business including architectural photos, professional head shots and even a photo shoot with models and I couldn’t be happier. He has always been more than accommodating, punctual and extremely professional. Communication time is practically immediate with him. Turn around time is basically nothing to receive your photos and pricing is more than fair. I will continue to exclusively use Kill the Ball Media for any future projects of mine! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Andrea Shliapa | Worcester Fitness
Joe is one of the best hands down!! I have known him for years and I don’t know where I would be without him helping me both personally and professionally.
