We had the good fortune of connecting with Olivia Kristin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Olivia, what do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to three things: Alignment with God’s purpose, genuine love for others and self-care and well-being.

I always want to make sure that I am walking in alignment with God’s plan and purpose for my life. I know success will follow as I commit to fulfilling His desires.

Secondly, I believe true success goes beyond financial gains. To me, success includes establishing meaningful relationships and positively impacting lives.

Lastly, I attribute my success to focusing on self-care. I am committed to prioritizing my well-being: physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, socially and financially.

What is a successful brand if it doesn’t align with God’s purpose for my life, fails to positively influence others, or bring me genuine fulfillment?

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
While working as a registered nurse, my journey into entrepreneurship began in 2016 after purchasing a digital camera. I started off taking photos for family and friends, just for fun, while sharing my work on Facebook. This led to multiple people reaching out asking, “How much do you charge?” I thought, “I don’t, but I could…”

 

That’s when the idea of Olivia Kristin Photography was born.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend were visiting my city, our first stop would be for food. We’d go to my favorite taco truck, Los Agavez Taqueria, a local gem on High Street. If she’s in the mood for a sit-down meal, I’d recommend options like Lindey’s in German Village, 4th & State Vegan Restaurant Downtown, or Kitchen Social in Polaris.

After eating, we’d go get facials at Oasis Face Bar in Worthington or just sit on the swings at Easton Town Center with Starbucks enjoying meaningful conversations. To end the day, we’d either go to The Escape Game or catch a Columbus Clippers or Crew game!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to extend a special acknowledgment to my pastor, Bishop La Fayette Scales. Since starting my path of full-time entrepreneurship, I’ve wrestled with the question of whether I am truly aligned with God’s will in my business endeavors. My pastor has consistently affirmed my pursuit of success as promised through my relationship with Jesus! His unwavering support, insightful teachings, and indirect mentorship have been invaluable aids on my journey.
