Well after 30 years in the commercial cabinet business working for other business owners, I was pushed out at age 50 (Laid/Off) with no reason given. I was called into the office one morning and told "We No Longer Need Your Services" Ha, What a shock especially after having worked overtime for the past 6 months. So with a wife in Pharmacy School at C.U. Denver and an 8 year old son, suddenly I was no longer the "Bread Winner" in our family.

Hello Everyone My Name is Kim Harris Owner of Kim Harris Photography. Photography is a passion... It fills me with joy and enriches me like nothing ever has before. I feel so grateful to be able to earn a living with photography. It never feel's like a job. I have met so many amazing people and played with some really great kids. I have felt like a part of many wedding parties and left afterwards thinking, I was actually paid to be there. I am doing what I love and it cannot get any better than that!

The economy hit small business hard, shops were closing in my neighborhood and I knew the time was right. I saw more and more going out of business sales and I thought "If only they spent the money they are spending now on going out of business sales and spent it on marketing, they wouldn’t be going out of business". The idea was born. I needed to help small businesses with their marketing and make it affordable, creative and specific to their small business needs.
