We had the good fortune of connecting with Britney Kelley and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Britney, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process of start my own business wasn’t much of a thought process at all. I started doing photography because I loved taking photos and capturing my own memories . I always loved the out doors and how it made me feel so I wanted a way to remember that and share that. After a while, and the power of social media I was able to share my photos and my work through that and grab the attention of others. Then the thought process kicked in, “wow I could do this and make a living” from there I learned more from the business side of it and just decided to go for it!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I always wanted to combined what I love with photography. These days there are so many photographers, I didn’t want to be a studio or portrait photographer. I love, love. I love the outdoors and to travel. I wanted to able to capture couples in love but with more real moments from the outdoors and natural lighting. I love that my work shows that but also can take a hike with my dogs and people and other brands love that. I wanted to be able to mix everything together. I have definitely made mistakes along the way and learned to slow down and not take on more than I can handle. Ive always told myself as long as im happy with what I am doing I can push through. I want my brand to show the outside things a women can do and still create love and natural moments through the outdoors.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Ive always had good work ethic and self motivator. it helps that I come from a good supporting family that has always pushed me to work hard. Growing up we were always outdoors (camping, hiking,beaching) it was already part of my lifestyle at a young age. Bringing it into my adult life wasn’t hard. My parents always worked hard to give my brother and I the best home life. I respect that and always admire it and knew that I would bring it in my business and everyday life style. I definitely am who I am today because of my family.
