Five years ago, with not much more than a camera and ambition, he started his own business. Originally he was working in an IT job, making pretty good money, with set hours and plenty of vacation days. It was a good job, but it was not his passion. For years his true passion was photography, it was what he loved. He wanted to pursue that further but knew it wasn't going to be easy. He named the business after himself, his initials, which made sense cause it was all him. There were countless hours - he would go to work all day and build the business on the evenings and weekends. He may have been sleep deprived but he was personally fulfilled. And soon came the turning point, It was now or never - follow his passion all the way or not at all, he had to go full time with the business. He knew he had to follow his heart and make the jump - it was one of the scariest moments of his life but at the same time, the most exciting and liberating as well.
She was inspired by his ambition. She has always been a creative person, but she had never found a true outlet to express that creativity. Her background was journalism. She had worked in several publishing jobs and liked them- but she always loved the visuals more than the words. She loved designing pages, telling stories with a mix of words and pictures. When she watched him designing a wedding album one day, it clicked. That's what she should be doing! It's exactly what she loved to do, telling a story through pictures. So when he started teaching her photography, it clicked even more. What better way to tell a story with pictures than actually taking the pictures as well? Pretty soon she was hooked, she couldn't wait for the next shoot, the next wedding, the next album to design. And it was time for her to make the jump as well.
It had gone beyond just him, it was them. Today, they make yet another jump together renaming the business to reflect it as it truly is today - a team effort.
- ROBERT & KATHLEEN -
The day has finally arrived. We are now officially Robert & Kathleen Photographers. After a year of planning, we are ready to launch this new business name AND our brand new, custom-designed, “truly us” blog. The incredibly talented Dave & Brock of Infinet Design made all of our ideas come to life in an incredibly beautiful web space, we are so thankful to them. We are SO excited to finally have a business name and a blog that reflects who we are - as photographers, as people, and as a couple.
One of the things we love the most is travel - we find so much inspiration in discovering new places together. That's why it was so important to us to have that incorporated into the blog, along with a bunch of other fun details. From the stamp logo on every post reading 9.07 (our wedding date), to the new rust color that actually matches the leather of vintage suitcases we have in our living room, we really feel this blog has become an extension of our home and, more importantly, an extension of us. So welcome to our virtual home where you can visit us every day. Sit back, relax, and spend some time with us. We promise to keep it interesting! |
