We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kaetlin Brown. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kaetlin below.
Kaetlin, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
I remember in the beginning stages of growing my business, I was very indecisive about choosing/creating my business name.
I kept creating names that didn’t really feel like me, so I just went with known usernames like: visualsbykaetlin, ktvisuals, etc… I was really vibing with it at first, but later along the road, I wanted something I knew that would stick forever, gave a aesthetic vibe to it, and something that no one can take! So, I decided to use my name!
It was so simple and I liked the way it looked. It definitely felt more ME!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
How I got into the business is so clear to this day. I remember I got into this because of my cousin. I was so fascinated with photos I decided to start! But before photography, I wanted to do youtube, so I got a Canon Rebel t3i and started making videos, which I then ended up doing photography. However, I wanted to step up my game! So fortunately, my dad had his camera that he did not use and everything took off from there.
Being a creative, it was a struggle as there were many other talented creators here in the Houston area. But I strived nonetheless and continued to showcase what I wanted people to see from my work. I will say though there were times where I didn’t know what I was even going for, so my inspirations (other creatives) turned into me “copying” them. And I’m pretty sure we all had that phase in some point in our lives! But how did I solve that?
Well, it is now 2022 and I have come back from a LONG haitus! After gathering so much from my vacation, I realized so many things about me and my craft and what it really was that I wanted to showcase: The Earth. After traveling to so many places, I found my love for wanted to blog more about that places I’ve traveled and with friends.
So to those reading this l, wondering where I stand right now in my craft, I AM STILL HERE! I’m growing and learning so much about myself and how I want to implicate that into my photography. Its the passion that is still continuing to drive me.
I want to be different, I want to grow outside of the box that I’ve been so kept in! I want to show you guys the new Kaetlin!
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
Traveling! That is the goal! After realizing what I wanted to do secularly and just in general where I wanted to be, it was seeing the creations of the world and meeting new people around the globe. And with that, being able to share with them many memories through my photos. And so far, my path/plan is already in motion! I just have to push through!
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
I think the most rewarding aspect for me is being able to get lost in the art. When I am so consumed in my mind with other things that I have to worry about, releasing it with art helps so much. Photography, painting, & dancing have always been my outlet! And I am glad that art exists!
