Spring: A lovely reminder of how beautiful change can truly be 💐

As a first-generation college student, it always warms my heart to capture seniors at one of the biggest milestones of their journey.

It's truly a celebration of how far you've come while making memories that will last a lifetime. Senior photo experiences are the perfect way to honor all of your hard work and preserve your legacy.

"I think, therefore I am."

It was such a pleasure working with Richale Reed on her rebrand. She wears many hats as a counselor, coach, and author, and speaker. Her 'I Am' platform helps women find and embrace their authentic selves.

I love when the vision comes together and thank you for trusting me with your brand!! Be sure to check out her new website www.inpoweryou.com

A wise person once told me there is no such thing as the right time, situation or place. I've been going back and forth with finalizing this for what feels like forever, but now is the time. After months of hard work, I am super excited to finally introduce my new website!!

The best gift is seeing the people we love smile 😁

Alexa play "All I Want For Christmas Is You" 🥰🎁

We may be spending the holidays at home, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun with it! Mom is in the healthcare industry and wanted a little something different for the Christmas cards this year.

Y'all stay safe and wear your mask!

Let's fill this holiday with family ❤

Spent a little time with the Williams Family on my travels to Atlanta. They were my very first wedding a few years ago and their album is still sitting pretty in their living room. It's always love with this family, be sure to check out their YouTube channel!

There’s nothing greater than making memories that will last a lifetime. Family ❤

2020 taught us to cherish the NOW, embrace the moment, and love the ones around us.

With that being said, I've opened a few last-minute slots in the Picayune, MS area this week. Get the family together and capture your memories this holiday season!

"Side by side or miles apart, brothers and sisters will always be connected."

Had a great time capturing the essence of this brother & sister duo! This year has definitely shown us that you have to be intentional about showing love to those that mean the most because the world as we know it could change within the blink of an eye.

I'm glad I could capture these moments so that they will be able to look back over the generations as they grow older and build their own legacy!

You make the memories, we'll preserve the moment in still ❤️

Life is a gift and love is the key to open it up ❤️

"Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like & celebrating it for everything that it is." - Mandy Hale

I had the complete honor of capturing the essence of this beautiful soul. Clarisa was burned in a hot water heater explosion at the age of 2 and has since had over 2,000 surgeries to fight for her life.

When she first inquired about my services, she had reached a point in life where she simply just wanted to celebrate who she was and all that she had been through. This was such an amazing experience. I created a style guide and we met via Zoom to prepare for her session. Everything went perfectly and we had an awesome time (even her son who didn't want to smile at first lol). I even had a chance to sit down and formally interview her about her journey.

When I delivered her gallery, she immediately texted saying she was in tears and so overjoyed with the images. I'm super excited about going to deliver her wall art.

This experience was the perfect reminder that life should not only be lived but also celebrated. Celebrating the essence of life!

I am so thankful for the opportunity connect with such a beautiful soul & capture her essence! Thank you for doing this much needed work in the community ❤️

Support Wilson Oasis!!

More Black people are reaching out for mental health help, Charlotte providers say Between COVID-19 and the most recent racial unrest, more conversations are being held about anxiety, stress and trauma.

I know it is officially spring now, but with everything going on I figured y'all could use a little holiday cheer lol so here's some self-portraits.

I knew the Lord told me not to take down my Christmas tree for a reason. 😂

Your truth. Your business. Your brand.
The essence of who you are should be visible.✨

I found the essence of me through the lens of a camera. I knew then how important it was to capture this same essence within others. The foundation of who they were. The authenticity that made them unique. The quality that connected them with others. This how I knew my passion and purpose was in alignment, and I was destined to help others.

Has your essence been captured?

Growth is such a beautiful thing! Recap of Meet Your Mentor, it is always a pleasure to network with fellow entrepreneurs. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing event Metropolitan Administrative Professionals!

Take me to Target so I know it's real!!

Spreading some love today with the Love’s ❤️🌹

Last year I had the opportunity to capture the She Did That. premiere screening here in Charlotte produced by this amazing soul, Renae Bluitt. The film just hit Netflix & if you haven't already go check it out -- you won't be disappointed!

Y'all, I had the absolute pleasure of capturing the essence of The Love's! When is the last time you got all dressed up and slow danced in Target? 😉

Huge shoutout to Target Charlotte North for allowing us to make this happen! The manager was like " Wow, can I take a picture of you guys? We definitely don't see this every day!"

Last year after I completed a family session, I let them see a few of the images from the back of my camera as usual and my client immediately started to hug & thank me. She went on to say that in the years prior her family visited had Portraits Innovations to take their family portraits. She literally compared the experience to an assembly line.

That right there let me know that I am right where I need to be. Purpose. I'm just glad that I am able to provide a memorable & candid experience for my clients. Capturing your essence allows me to live in my essence.

“Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas.” ~ Peg Bracken

“Branding demands commitment; commitment to continual re-invention; striking chords with people to stir their emotions; and commitment to imagination. It is easy to be cynical about such things, much harder to be successful.” – Sir Richard Branson

This is how Ashley of B2 Consulting & Tax Preparation is stepping into 2020!

Let’s get to know KZW Capturing Essence, LLC on this .

I’m KZW of course, I chose my initials because my dad & I always call each other by our initials & if you know me, you know I’m a daddy’s girl so that was my tribute to him.

Now let’s break down what it means to capture essence..

By definition, Essence is the nature that determines character. For me..Essence is the core of what makes you, you. It is intertwined with purpose & there isn’t a single soul on this earth without a purpose. With this foundation, I get to work with some amazing people.
