Kenton , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I am a professional photographer passionate about capturing moments and telling stories through my lens. My journey in photography began at Florida A&M University in 2020, where I initially discovered my love for the craft. Over the past two years, I dedicated myself to honing my skills and cultivating a robust entrepreneurial spirit in the dynamic world of photography.

In 2022, I faced the challenges of establishing my presence in Orlando, but by the latter part of the year, I witnessed significant growth in my business. In 2023, my efforts have paid off. I am proud to share that I have completed nearly 100 photoshoots, continuing to capture the essence and beauty of individuals through my work.

As an entrepreneur in the photography industry, I specialize in providing services that cater to diverse needs. Whether it’s portrait sessions, events, or creative projects, I aim to craft images that resonate and leave a lasting impact. I am committed to solving the visual storytelling needs of my clients, ensuring that each photoshoot is a unique and memorable experience.

What sets me apart in this competitive field is my technical expertise and dedication to understanding and connecting with my clients. I believe in building relationships beyond the camera producing authentic and compelling photographs. My clients appreciate my personalized approach to each project, creating a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere during our sessions.

I am most proud of the tremendous growth I have achieved in a relatively short span. The journey has been challenging and rewarding, from my humble beginnings at Florida A&M University to establishing myself as a sought-after photographer in Orlando. I want potential clients, followers, and fans to know that my work reflects my passion, commitment, and the joy I find in bringing moments to life through photography.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Building a substantial audience on social media has been a gratifying journey that I’ve undertaken deliberately and with dedication. When I first began sharing my photography, I recognized the importance of creating captivating visual content and engaging with my audience authentically. I sometimes do collaboration posts. I consistently shared high-quality, visually appealing content aligned with my brand and style. I also leveraged relevant hashtags to expand the reach of my posts. This allowed my content to be discovered by individuals interested in photography, creating a broader and more diverse audience. Collaborating with other creatives, photographers, or influencers allowed me to tap into their audiences and vice versa. Cross-promotions exposed my work to new communities.

My advice to people who are new to social media and also struggling here’s my take. Define Your Brand, Know Your Audience, Understand the difference between quality and quantity, and, most importantly, be patient and persistent.

Where do you think you get most of your clients from?

My most successful source of acquiring new clients has undeniably been through the strategic utilization of Facebook. Since joining Orlando Business and Promo Chats in late 2022, I’ve witnessed an overwhelming majority, approximately 95 percent, of my clientele originating from this social media platform.

Through Facebook, I have tapped into a targeted audience within the Orlando business community, leveraging the promotional opportunities provided by business and promo chats. This engagement has increased the visibility of my photography services and directly translated into a significant influx of clients.

The interactive nature of these groups has allowed me to showcase my work, connect with potential clients, and establish a credible presence within the local business community. The success I’ve experienced on Facebook is a testament to the platform’s effectiveness in fostering meaningful connections and generating tangible business results.

Moving forward, I intend to continue capitalizing on the momentum gained through Facebook and explore additional avenues for growth within the social media landscape. The success of this approach underscores the importance of strategic online networking and utilizing platforms that resonate with the target audience, ultimately contributing to the sustained growth of my photography business.
