The Rise of Social Media & New ways of Building a Brand

Building a Brand 2009

The year was 2009 in this year we begin creating and selling customized party decorations.

As we were developing our party decor business and capturing images of our products and posting online we begin to build a wonderful fanbase that like our images and shared our business with others in their network with this type of organic support we were able to grow sell our business and services with a regular flow of orders.

At the time it was so amazing to develop something put it out on social media and begin to get inquiries and orders.

Who would have known that my love for crafting using construction paper , glue sticks & scissors would become a whole business and we have many years of success.

We will always be thankful for these humble beginning all of the clients that supported us by ordering our items and sharing our work with others for that we are grateful that we have this story to tell.

It's Our Anniversary! Cheers to 16 years

Our Photography Journal: Day 19: Kustom Celebration Decorations

We are telling our story of how we entered into this photography journey and how things began for us……Our Story!

The Year :2009

Kustom Celebration Decorations

Oh what a pivotal year this was so before we dive into it.. this major event change things for us totally.

When my Aunt called onto me to co host my cousins baby shower I was thrilled to be apart.

We put ideas together and we would meet plan and shop

My Aunt allowed me to have creative control and add all the little fun details.

So we were able to make the shower so cute.

So the day came shower was a success so what happened next and when something new in our business occurred After the shower one of the guest inquired about the décor and was interested in our supplies.

So they reached out to us and ask us about our décor packages.

At that time I just did stuff for my love to craft and create I had no décor packages or anything… so after the inquiry I reached out to my nephew (Antar) who assisted me in putting some packages together…

So just like that we added custom décor to our photography services

So we are now : Kustom Kreation Photography & Celebration Decor

The guest from my cousin shower booked us for décor and special event photography….

Alright now we are on the move…

Thank you Sharon & Alisya (RIH) I've always been grateful for the call

It’s Our Anniversary!

2006 When It all began- My anniversary journal

It’s My 11th Anniversary in Photography Service, For the next eleven days, I will journey through my experience of beginning Kustom Kreation Photography…

2006 is when my journey officially begin after history of creating picture art and always toting my camera around capturing many amazing events in my journey in life. After encouragement for others I finally decided to invest in my 1st DSLR camera (Nikon D50) thanks to my personal photographer friend Willie Ross of Ross Photography that advised me of what camera to get started with. Once I was able to purchase  my camera I was eager to capture any and everything. I was now a professional photographer and it was time for friends and family to get on board and hire me for all their photography needs. My initial goal was to be like the 20 minute mall photographer where you go right in take pictures and prints done in less then an hour. I would have my new clients come to my in home studio take pictures and print them off from my inkjet computer and viola! I had a studio & printing facility right in the comforts of home. Over time ideas information and processes change. Grateful for all opportunities that came my way in the very 1st beginning. Every dream has to start somewhere and here’s to my evolution in my photography journey!

Remembering Yesterday- Life is a Gift Baby Shower... Purple Passion

The year was 2012 and we were ask by our client to create a stylish Life is a gift baby shower in purple. We were delighted to create this speciality party and incorporate images that we had taken during their maternity session a month prior. 

We created a dessert bar focal point using cupcakes, chocolate fountain parfait and water bottle favors. Using tulle and paper lantern to accent the table. Also a large sign was placed  above the hand made cupcake stand (we created using a large box wrapped in wrapping paper with ribbon and we used custom favor tag to place in the front) 

Custom water labels are always a great takeaway from your celebration! 

Such an exciting day for your girls to celebrate you and welcome your new bundle of joy! 

Life really is a gift!

Remembering Yesterday- Hello Khalilah Baby Shower

The year was 2013 and we were over the moon excited that my niece was pregnant with her 1st child. Our whole family celebrated  the news. As time went on  we knew that we wanted to throw her a nice shower.

Once my niece found out she was having a girl and she began to love Hello Kitty… and since she had already picked out her daughters name (Khaliah) we decided to play on the name… Hello Khali ( that was the name she was planning to call her for short.

Well as life would have it .. we planned the shower and Khali couldn’t wait to make her entrance in the world… so we still move forward with the shower the baby would just be in attendance.

We had a wonderful intimate celebration of baby with very close family friends and small group of family members which included grandma and grandpa who were over the top excited.

Since that time Khali has continued to bring lots of smiles and joy to our family!!!

Remembering Yesterday- Life is a Gift Baby Shower

The year was 2011 and we were on fire... creating and designing custom party collections!

When we were contacting by Andineka and her God mother with the idea to create party decoration for a "Life is a Gift" baby shower using the soft baby colors green and yellow. 

We jumped at the chance of creating these supplies and also assisting with the setup of the celebration. 

We began with custom invitations (a invitation always sets the tone for an event) 

Guest were welcomed as they walked through the door with a custom Life is a Gift Banner

Welcome table was right inside to sign guest book and pick up a game sheet. 

Classic baby shower games were played including unscramble the words, word find and ice ice baby! 

Aj's Catering set up a beautiful food displayed in which guest enjoyed the delicious delights followed by your choice of vanilla or chocolate cupcakes for desserts.
