Alma Creatives – What’s in a name?

When you start a business, you dream big. You want to connect with the world and the things you and your business offer will be the piece that is missing, and everyone will love it. So, it is personal, right? You must have a name for this shiny new solution that everyone didn’t know they always needed. Amongst all the other mundane tasks of bringing this to life, like getting a bank account, and finding something available on the Godaddy servers, you must call your business SOMETHING. And because it is so personal you can’t just slap an ACME on it and start cranking out the next best thing since sliced bread. So HOW do you name it? For personal it shall be, because you are going to put your personal blood, sweat and tears into it.

Our way was to find the piece that is special about us as a couple. Sara and I share a connection that I have found to be unique. Not to say we are the only ones that have it, but we believe it is what keeps us together while others have not enjoyed the same joyful journey through life. There is a story about the Native Americans (part of Sara’s heritage) that says they did not like to have their photos taken because they felt it stole part of their soul. While many have said the eyes are the windows to the soul, we feel there is a connection between these two. When you want to capture a moment in your life or of someone you feel connected to, you can capture this moment with photos. The soul is reflected back through the eye of the lens to reach through time and bring you back to that moment. The creation of the soul connection. We started this personal business deep within Central America, so to pay homage to its roots, we blended the Spanish word for “soul”

Alma.

We want to create that same connection that we share together as a couple with the world as it searches for the moments in each life that are so special. To steal a moment in time and forever memorialize it in the images of your trip through time.
