I have always had a passion for pictures as long as I can remember and truly believe every person’s story needs to be told. After graduation from the University of Kansas with a business degree I started my career in corporate America. As the proud mother of two amazing children, I decided to take on one of the most rewarding jobs of being a stay at home mom. It is in that life change, when the decision was made to take my passion for preserving photos and telling people’s life stories to a whole new level; KJ Designs was born.
My love for sports and my passion for pictures mixed when I went to work as a independent contractor for the San Diego Chargers documenting every season game by game, complete with photos, articles, stats and memorabilia. I have worked with many professional athletes and organizations. San Diego Chargers, Darren Sproles, Eric Weddle, Andre Johnson, Quentin Jammer, Brandon Graham, Nick Hardwick, Kris Dielman and families all over the United states and abroad. Every product was catered to their specific needs and tastes and yours will be as well. Every gallery piece will be customized to your individual specific needs and tastes, and we will bring you and your family's moments back into your life. I look forward to working with you.
This is an amazing gift for that athlete in your life. Surprise him or her with a documentation of their career from beginning to the current.
In short, I become the historian for your loved one’s career. I am able to research any athlete and find articles, memorabilia and pictures capturing all major career highlights, milestone and statistics in chronological order. These legacy albums are archival museum quality scrapbooks for you and your family to enjoy for generations to come. Start with their high school or college, collect stats, pictures and articles specific to your individual athlete all the way through their professional/college career.
If you have personal memorabilia, i.e. ticket stubs, magazine or newspaper articles, or family pictures at games, all of these make amazing personal additions to the books. I will use all of that but if you have none of the above no worries I will find it all!! I will dig into your individual athletes past seasons and find amazing pictures and articles all highlighting them and their individual accolades through the years. My specialty is finding all the amazing photographs, highlights, stats and milestones that capture you or your loved ones legacy in their sport.
Several athletes, wives/girlfriends have contacted me to document their significant others or their personal career. Here are just a few of my satisfied customers.....
Do you always have your camera with you on amazing trips? How about capturing your child's first step or first birthday? Don't we all make sure our camera is packed for that school graduation or the big game? All of us do this, yet those photos we “had to capture” are still ending up in shoeboxes, plastic tubs, or clogging up your hard drive.
These albums encompass Trips and Travels, Birthdays, Weddings/Love, School Days, Holidays, Teens/College, Kids, Pets, and we can’t forget our Heritage photos passed down from past generations. All of our life experiences and adventures we capture throughout our lives become part of our legacy. Let me make your memories come “back to life” in your life!!
It’s my passion and privilege to help you bring life’s moments back into your life!!
