Welcome to the new Melanie K Photography, LLC!
When I started MK Photography in August of 2020, I never dreamed it would take me as far as it has. What I thought would be a way for me to tap into my creative side and make people happy at the same time, turned out to be a burning passion inside of me. A passion that I have now turned into an actual business that has been officially registered with the state of Ohio as an LLC!
If you know the story of MK Photography, you know how hard it was for me to take that initial leap into this adventure. I'm resistant to change, no matter how good it may be, and am always afraid of putting myself in the spotlight. These same feelings came rushing back at my 1-year anniversary when I did some deep reflecting on what that last year brought and what I envisioned for the future. I knew I needed to take the next step, but was terrified of falling.
After many talks with my support system, I finally decided to take the plunge. Why not? What did I have to lose? I already have an amazing client base (for which I am eternally grateful) and an ever-growing portfolio, so rebranding and becoming "official" was just paperwork, right? Actually, right. I'm still the silly, quirky, always tripping over air, talks too much woman behind the lens. I'm still the woman that will laugh with you, cry with you, celebrate with you, and say "oooh, I love that" when I am looking through the viewfinder. I'm still the woman that is so excited at the end of your session that I will send you sneak peeks the same day. I'm still the woman whose heart flutters when I see your social media profile photo change to one I made. I'm still me.
I'm still the woman who wants everyone I know to experience these same feelings. To look back at their family photos and not think about the stress of coordinating outfits. To look at their maternity session and remember every baby kick and flutter. To look at their Senior and wonder how they grew up so fast, right before their eyes. To not question whether or not they should spend their hard-earned money on a photo shoot. I still want an affordable, laid back way for my friends and family to have these memories to look back on and be overcome with the who, where, and why.
Thank you for coming on this journey with me. I couldn't be where I am today without you. I cherish the new friendships, the friendships that have grown stronger, and the moments I have gotten to share with each of you. Here's to more of those moments, and more memories together!
