We had the good fortune of connecting with Kelli Jenay or K and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kelli Jenay or K, what do you attribute your success to?
I believe the most important factor or factors are mental health and purpose. Those two play a major part in why I am, where I am now. I’m starting over, but I’m more driven, resilient and ready than I ever was.
In August of 2023, I rebranded my business from “A Taste of Phila” doing videography and interviews, to “Snapped” where I mainly provide photography and content creation services. Why? Because I started this business for fun, then I started making money, and it gotten to a point where it was serving me anymore and I was doing it JUST for money. I was damn near crying everytime I had to edit a video lol.
I had to make a change. I was on and off with my business. Once I started to take care of myself, making sure that I don’t over work myself, my mental, actually getting to know myself and my purpose.
I knew that my purpose was to serve and assist. And then I started to think about what I actually felt good doing. And that was taking pictures, making ppl feel and look good, and make content. I woke up one day and literally said “Oh Snap” lol and it was up from there. It took me two weeks to rebrand, once I did my roll out I book 2 shoots/events.. then 2 more.. then another.. and another..and well you get it.
My official email is ohksnapped@gmail.com until I get a more professional one.
