Creating a Paper Trail

DSC00396
I came up with these flyers to get the word out about my photography.

As Ariel and I were busy stapling business cards to the flyer and then rolling them up to be stuffed in mailboxes or doors. I was reminded of an Oprah Show where she asked the question, "How many of us know our neighbors?" The people that live next door or down the street from you for years and never say anything more to them than the casual hello. So I vow to stop and chat with each neighbor that I encounter on this fine Saturday morning! So go on, stop and chat with your neighbor today. After all it's Saturday, no need to be rushing off to work.

That's what me and my trusty box will be doing today.

I'm Official!

Yes, I'm official.....there's no turning back now! I have been working on these promotional cards (not sure this is the official name for them) to hand out to people I meet on my daily excursions. They just announce my Grand Opening and are choke full of pictures detailing my work.

Me.....

DSC00231(blog)

Hello! I'm Keshia of KLC Portraits. I am a married mom of 2 beautiful girls, ages 11 and 2 years. My hobbies are photography (of course), cooking, and reading. I love watching the food network channel. I can watch it all day, much to my family's dismay. I just have it on the t.v. as background noise. I also read constantly, it is pretty what I do in my free time. The kids and I visit the library at least once weekly. Just give me a book and a quiet house and the day will silently slip away.
My husband, Jerry wasn't in love with this picture I posted of myself. He said that I should have used a more flattering image. I should have dressed up, but I protested and said, "This is what I look like 90% of the time". This is me with no make-up, growing out eyebrows, and my usual standard clothing- t-shirt, cargo pants, and flip flops. I guess he was sort of correct, in that I do dress up some of the time; like for weddings and other special events.
I'm ecstatic about the start of my photography business. I am finally doing it and I just can't believe it's true! Can you feel my excitement?! Yep, I am open for business and ready to come and hang out with your family! I can't wait to meet you!
Thanks for stopping by

About the Photographer
My love of photography has always been there. It blossomed when I had my first child. I always kept a box camera around and would often snap pictures of her playing, drawing, and us just hanging out. I found what I loved the most was having her look at the albums I'd created and really enjoying the stories that the photos reminded me of. She loved (and still does) hearing stories about her younger self.
My obsession :) with photography started with the birth of my second child and the breaking of my digital camera. This is when I discovered DSLR cameras and the bells and whistles of photography.
So, simply put- I love what photography stands for- memories and I love capturing celebrations of love and family. I believe everyone should have portraits detailing the relationship between you and your loved ones. I would love to do that for you. If you would like to contact me about a photo session or for more information, drop me a few lines by email at KLCportraits@gmail.com
