I have created a new blog through Word Press. I am still working out some bugs. I wanted to unify and simply. I hope I did that. www.kimjamesphoto.com/blog This new blog will take a while to develope. I would LOVE to hear comments....
Over the last couple of years I have been taking a close look at how I am branding my business. This is a word hundreds of books have been written about. It also took me quit sometime to understand. In a nut shell. I Kim James, with all my assets and flaws all of my talents and character defects, personal tastes, preferences and dislikes, my values and principles, are my brand and yes also the work,. Who I really am is my brand. I can't think of branding myself to just turn a profit. My understanding is I must take a real inventory assessment of who I am and my impact on people.
My work has been called honest, warm, bold, vivid, classic, original, enduring, sensitive and beautiful. I have also heard those comments about my personality and nature.
I have been considering, the color, the font, the logo. I have settled on all of these things. Now every choice I make about my business is run by my list and if it doesn’t resonate with my style, it’s out.
Tricky…..
I am creating a hybrid blog site. I bought the template through word press, but it isn’t as easy as big folios blog. I wish big folio would have had blog sites. It will be up in a few weeks, I hope. I am so pissed I wasn’t more of a nerd and didn’t pay more attention in school especially in math and science. It is such a stretch for me to learn this stuff. If I can remain focused and patient enough it will be up soon.
So my sites will be going through some changes to get on the same page of my personal brand.
But for now I am frustrated and tired of computers. I am going to work out!
My son Tristan plays 3 sports and for almost all of them Dan has coached him, drove him, took him to eat, dropped him off.
The way I raise my kids is to live their bliss, find out what you love, do it for yourself. I have investment in what they do as long as they are passionate about it. Don't do it for me.
We are an insanely busy family and I want to support my children playing sports, hence why we work so hard to pay for it. Many times we are unable to make out of town games and Dan and his wife Christine have been there for T.
The least I can do is a portrait.
It was an amazing sunset. Every image ws in camera. I had to tone down the color it was the vibrant.
Really cool family!
Nicole is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fun and gorgeous!!!! I knew this when she was 3 and would not get in her car seat!
Zoe and I embarked on a collaborative effort to create a tasteful pin up gift for her husband on their anniversary. Neither one of us has done a shoot like this before. We both researched pin ups and this is what we were able to come up with. I think Zoe is such a sport and I am really pleased with the way they turned out.
Rebecca says she wants to go into the culinary arts. I think she should be an actress. Great in front of the camera she has so many different expressions. I enjoyed myself so much I lost myself in time. I hope it was as good for her as it was for me!! FIERCE!
