FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When first speaking to a new customer for weddings or special events, we strive to reduce the stress in hiring. These events are extremely exciting but the stress of booking everything can be quite negative. Many times, individuals are not knowledgeable because they've never had to hire a photographer before. We provide free consultations over the phone and in person to answer all questions and provide support where needed. When it comes to commercial photography, we understand business. Work done quick and efficient is the way to go. At .KAM.ography, we have a mobile studio to come to you. Whether it be products or portraits, we are flexible to meet your needs.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am self-taught with professional training under well established Michigan photographers and through working with a Detroit event photography for a few years. Combined, I have over a decade of professional photography experience. Second photographers hired are required to have at least a couple years of professional experience. - Kristi Owner & Lead Photographer
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
When I was young, around 14 or so, my father started to become interested in photography. I was the tomboy so my dad and I were (and still are) quite close. I strived to be just like him. Of course, him and I were and have always been quite competitive so with that, him and I were off on a race to see who could do what. He focused on lightning photography so I did other nature photography. Over time, my dad became interested in other things and lost his photography obsession but I held on to my love it. I was published when I was 18 in the UK Reptile Care Magazine with five photos in a featured article. The thrill of that recognition fueled my fire. From there, I went and worked for an event photography company in Detroit for a couple years and ended up creating .KAM.ography in March 2011. - Kristi Owner & Lead Photographer
