so we get different reactions to our name, and questions -which is totally fine. i like a good conversation starter.
how did we (val & kellie) decide to go with crooked photography as our name? cause we're all about ripping people off! (LOL! TOTALLY KIDDING!)
okay so i definately didnt want to use my name. and then things like precious, reflections, treasured, memories etc all great words to describe things in life a photographer catches... but we're just not the cutesie name type of people. we wanted our name to fit us.
crooked though? let me try to explain. i am definately a very relational person. i love people. love getting to know them and the things that make them different. i also LOVE JESUS! and i love the way that He looks at us. it's SO very different than our harsh society that seems to thrive on picking everyone apart. it makes me so sad. even the most "beautiful" celebrities fall short of the standard and get ripped apart for something. i can't tell you how amazing it is to be able to photograph people (especially women) who feel insecure and see the reaction when we show them images of themselves!
how do you get crooked from that? there's the way society looks at people, but instead i prefer to tilt my head, change the angle, and catch a different view.
