Genuine, loyal, trustworthy..this is how we like to describe Karyn Kelbaugh’s philanthropic photography business. Karyn came to Doodle Dog with a unique selling-point: for every photography session that is sold, she gives one to a family who may not have the resources to afford a photography session. The value she places on the legacy and healthiness of taking family photos, giving all groups of people the chance to hang timeless treasures around the house, sparked the creation of her new logo: Genuine Photography.
Karyn’s joyful orange and purple business emblem spans across vintage-modern business cards and promotional materials, as well as throughout her website, which Doodle Dog helped re-vamp for the consistency of her new design…
Tell you more? Here’s the word from Karyn herself, on Karyn Kelbaugh Photography:
How long have you been in business? Since 2009
What do you do?:I help personalities shine in photos. I AM here to make friends and do my best to share the love.
Why did you start your business? It is what I love and have always loved. Capturing moments. When life finally presented me with the real opportunity to make it my profession, I took that chance.
What is unique about your business? My business has 2 unique qualities. I LOVE digital files and they are the focus of what I give my clients. I take your digital files and make them awesome. Secondly, but I think MOST important is that starting this year I am giving away a session to a family in need for every regular session purchased. Get a session, Give a session. Share the love. =)
What is the process like to work with you? Imagine you have a little sister who talks your ear off and will do anything to make you laugh. Now imagine that she wants to take you on an adventure and photograph the whole thing. That’s pretty much what its like with me. I love my clients and I want them to know it.
Why did you decide to work with Doodle Dog? Nikki is awesome! She understood what I was looking for in my new design and was really helpful with ideas. She really got to know my style and how to make it stand out. She’s a wonderful designer and person!
Tell us about your family. I have a wonderful husband and a brand new (2 months) little boy. He is sweet and precious and silly and probably about to wake up right now so I’d better hurry.
Do you have any pets? Just that darn cat, Bonsai. He was a rescue kitty. I got him at 4 weeks and he just turned 7. He is a perpetual kitten, and is in serious need of attention these days.
Where do you like to shop? Ha. Everywhere. The interweb in general. Etsy. SOBO in Fort Worth, Target, you name it, I’ll shop there. =)
Describe yourself and your style: I am laid back and love spending time with my friends and family and just enjoying their company. I like pretty and fancy things but I love my jeans and t-shirts. I’m always up for an adventure though and can’t wait to get back into running crazy events.
Where do you find inspiration? My clients! They are the best inspiration. I love getting to know them and learning about what they love and turning that into an amazing experience and saving those memories for them. My other inspiration would honestly be nature and the way that light affects how we see the world. I love me a golden sunset!
A Day in the Life of Karyn Consists of: My current daily “schedule”…. Wake up sometime between 2am and 4am and feed the Dude, go back to sleep if we’re lucky. Wake up for real between 6am and 8am. Feed, play, change diapers, put him down for a nap. Repeat. And occasionally in between there I photograph, edit, eat, sleep, shower and clean. Not necessarily in that order. It’s a simple life right now, but we love it.
