The TRUTH


So Amelia and I met in Ireland for a photography workshop... That much is true!
But here's the real reason why we came up with alpha kappa camera:
The workshop we went to was the Zero-60 workshop with Melissa Jill Photography and Arden Photography. Melissa and Arden met during a Photogirls retreat. One night we were all hanging out in Melissa's room when Amelia asked Melissa if we could be part of Photogirls, but I guess we just didn't make the cut. So we were totally kidding when we said we would just come up with our own "photogirls". We just started laughing and throwing names out: photochicks, shutter sisters, photogals - you get the idea - until I blurted out alpha kappa camera and that's when we laughed real hard! So Amelia runs and gets her credit card and buys the domain name! Then really late the next night I decided to blog about it, so I guess it's official now. Which is crazy.
So there you have it, the whole story! We are basically "photogirls" wannabes. But no worries, we'll still have a blast :)
We are coming up with some really cool ideas for our first retreat - Stay tuned!

P.S. We are still trying to convince Melissa to be our "house mother". She's thinking about it.

How We Got Started


Amelia and I met while in Ireland for an amazing photography workshop. We immediately hit it off and had a blast hanging out. From that we had the brilliant idea of forming a photography sorority so we can meet other girls who want to hang out and talk about photography and just have a really great time!

If you are a girl photographer and you want to become an Alpha Kappa Camera send us an email! 

We have lots of fun stuff coming up!
