Expanding...

    As most people know I have been serious about photography since high school and now work solo professionally. I have a great list of contacts, most who have also started their own business. Others who are working professionals who are great supporters and always have great advice. With that, I also have to thank my customers. Thank you to everyone who has previously hired me. My dream would not have started taking off if it weren't for you. Your time and interest in my business is greatly appreciated.
    Recently I have been working on expanding the business name, trying to get it out there for the exposure and gain more customers. There is a bridal show coming up Feb. 19th that you can find me at and soon to be on TV! WBNG and News Channel 34 offer specials from local businesses. Kristys Imagination Photography has been working with both stations, who have been excellent to provide new or returning customers with discounted offers. These will be airing soon, so stay tuned to the Facebook page for more details and how to purchase. This is something that is new to my business and if all goes well will continue to participate.
    Other local media sources are also being considered for advertising so keep checking back for current events and updates. Once again I want to personally thank everyone who has hired, supported and continue to support the growth of Kristys Imagination Photography and ask you to continue supporting and follow as this business grows into what will hopefully someday be one of Greater Binghamton's top photography businesses!

Hello and Welcome!

     I am creating a new blog page to keep everyone informed on what I am doing and how the business is doing. In case you are a new visitor and are not quite sure who I am and what my business is, let me tell you! My name is Kristy and I am the owner/ photographer for a local business called "Kristys Imagination Photography". I opened the business officially on April 29th,  2011 and have been working on it everyday to help it grow and be successful. The purpose of my business is to provide professional photography services for any occasion on location, by appointment. I photograph portraits, weddings, events, pets and more.
     Working on location gives me the ability to use my creativity and experience to capture the photographs you are looking for in an environment you are most comfortable with. I also provide a series of products and offer online viewing and ordering as well. All the equipment I use is professional equipment and the collection of it is constantly growing and changing.
     Some people have asked me....how did you name your business. The business name "Kristys Imagination Photography" began as an idea which led into a photography project and then an entire show at Buffalo State College, Buffalo, NY. Here I began making collage portraits and creating a different perspective on human life in a "small" entertaining way. A great deal of precision, time, patience and creativity went into this. When I finally decided to make this idea into my senior project and put on my first ever art gallery I had to not only brainstorm all the ideas but had to use my creativity and very limited budget to make it happen. In the end only one word could describe the entire project...imagination.
     Imagination really began taking shape into a very colorful, entertaining creation. Many colleagues and friends devoted their time modeling for me and enjoyed watching the composites take shape. In the end the project and show was a success and all the images can be seen on my website under the "Living Experience" folder, under "Galleries".
     After a couple years my business plan began taking shape and all ideas were forming into one solid concrete plan except one thing...a business name. After considering many different options I knew Imagination was either all of it or part of it. Researching competitors and other local names I knew I needed something in addition to Imagination and needed to personalize it and "Kristys Imagination Photography" was chosen. I know it is a long name but it goes with my creative approach and I put my heart and soul into what I do so personalizing it with my name seemed just right!
     So today, almost 1 year into business I have accomplished many goals I had set for myself and am working on new goals. This blog is a new expansion to my internet networking and intend to use it to inform, entertain and talk to people so you know what I am doing, how I am doing and the progress of "Kristys Imagination Photography" as it grows!
