Kahran and Regis, the dynamic duo behind Creative Soul Photography, have turned their lens towards fostering diversity and promoting self-love among children, particularly emphasizing the beauty of natural hair and melanated skin. Initially spurred by the stark lack of diversity in children’s fashion photography, they embarked on a mission to alter perceptions and encourage children to embrace their natural beauty.

Breaking Barriers in Children’s Fashion

The journey of Creative Soul Photography began with a simple observation: the fashion industry’s narrow standards of beauty, especially for children. Kahran and Regis noticed a concerning trend where parents felt compelled to alter their children’s natural hair for industry acceptance. “We’re teaching these kids that they’re not good enough, that their hair is not acceptable,” Kahran remarked, highlighting the early seeds of self-doubt planted by such practices. Determined to change this narrative, they leveraged their platform to celebrate the natural beauty of Black children through fashion and beyond.

Empowering Through Stories and Images

Their work transcends mere photography; Kahran and Regis have crafted a movement centered on empowerment and representation. Through creative shoots and the publication of two photo books, they delve into the personal stories of kids like Bakari, whose burgeoning confidence is a testament to the impact of their work. From historical tributes to campaigns focused on albinism awareness, their projects serve as a beacon of representation and empowerment. “We really just serve as dream-makers for them,” Kahran stated, underscoring their role in fostering self-esteem and leadership among Black youth.

Extending Impact Beyond Photography

The influence of Creative Soul Photography stretches into classrooms, where their books and messages of self-love have resonated with educators and students alike. By partnering with schools and focusing on campaigns like albinism awareness, they have cultivated an environment where children like Journie can stand as leaders, embodying confidence and community spirit. As Regis aptly puts it, the enduring confidence that remains even after the costumes come off is the true measure of their success. Their mission, rooted in empowerment and representation, continues to inspire and transform lives.

In a world quick to impose narrow standards of beauty, Kahran and Regis of Creative Soul Photography stand out as beacons of change, encouraging children to embrace their unique beauty and potential. Through their visionary work, they not only challenge prevailing narratives but also build a foundation of confidence and self-love that extends far beyond the camera’s lens.

Kahran and Regis began Creative Soul Photography as a passion project to work in the children’s fashion industry, but seeing a lack of diversity in terms of children with natural hair, they say they found their purpose.

“They would have their kids’ hair straightened before they came in, because they thought that’s what they needed to do to get their kid into the industry. And so we thought, at an early age, we’re teaching these kids that they’re not good enough, that their hair is not acceptable,” said Kahran. 

Since then, the couple has produced many creative shoots, which has helped them gain a social media following ,and create two photo books.

“We were able to dive into more than just hair and fashion, it really delves into the stories behind each one of the kids,” said Kahran. 

Kids like Bakari, who shot with the couple several times now. His confidence continues to grow. 

“When I saw what it was, I was like, wow, I’m gonna be wearing that? I was definitely surprised,” Bakari said. “It’s like I’m doing the ‘Wakanda Forever’ from ‘Black Panther.’ I was really like, is that even me? Because I actually looked very nice in those pictures.”

His mom Kimberly says the pictures are a confidence booster for him. 

“I love the fact that they are about positively highlighting melanated kids with their hair and letting them know that they’re just as special,” said Kimberly. “He also got to be in their HBCU photo shoot, which he loved that, and also be a soldier. And he got to do the 50th hip-hop tribute, which that was my favorite. And he was part of the group A Tribe Called Quest.”

The couple has also been spreading the message of self-love, and it turns out many schools were hungry for the kinds of messages in their books.

“We’ve been visiting classrooms, and either doing hands-on activities with them, you know, for self-empowerment, or really just partnering and collaborating with educators on how they can use our books to teach about, you know, self-love and empowerment,” said Kahran. 

The couple completed an albinism-awareness campaign for children with albinism to also feel empowered. 

“Journie was born with albinism. Albinism is a lack or no pigmentation in the hair, skin and eyes. And they, some of them come with vision impairment. We decided to put her in modeling so that can build her confidence and creative soul just blended right in with that,” said Larcenia Muse, Journie’s mom. “It lets people know that she is very confident, and she wants to carry that out as being a leader for the albinism community.”

Kharan and Regis have come a long way from their passion, to what they now say is their mission.

“We really just serve as dream-makers for them. So that serves as a catalyst for us for what we do. Now I like to say that we are more than just photographers, you know, we really are an empowerment brand for Black youth,” said Kahran. 

“When everything comes off and makeup and the costumes, that confidence is still there. And that’s how I know that we’ve done our job,” said Regis.

February is Black History Month, and Melvin Morgan Jr. has been working all month long on a project that honors that history by recognizing well-known African Americans in Uniontown.

Morgan, owner of AOP Visuals (Aopvisuals), a Christian-based photography business, has been using his talent to create Giants of Uniontown, a photo series focusing on a different member of the Uniontown community each day. Along with a photo shoot, Morgan conducts an in-depth interview with each person covering such topics as their inspirations, differences they hope to make in the community, and the messages they want to send to the city and African American youth.

Morgan said Giants of Uniontown is an idea that had been brewing for a few years.

“The idea came back in 2019, right before COVID,” he said. “My vision was for African American people who have been active in the community, or a big part of it, to be recognized – African Americans who own businesses, or maybe are heavily involved with the youth, or are simply trying to make Uniontown a better place.”

Morgan said he chose subjects based largely on those who have inspired or encouraged him.

“The people I picked were mostly people I’ve had good personal experiences and encounters with – people I’ve looked up to, people who’ve inspired and encouraged me, even if from a distance, from artists to preachers to athletes to teachers, politicians, electricians, hairstylists, DJs, and everything in-between,” he said. “African Americans have successful people here in Uniontown, a lot living and serving on the east side. I want our youth, especially our troubled youth, to see a future, to see they, too, can walk in the footsteps of people who have been and are big parts of the very same community they live in.”

Morgan started Aopvisuals five years ago but has been interested in and studying photography for twice that amount of time. “I first became interested in photography almost 10 years ago,” he said. “I took a photo of a seagull, perfectly frozen in motion, and thought it was cool.”

Morgan continued to shoot wildlife photos, and read articles and watched YouTube videos to teach himself the art of photography. Though this is the first year for his Giants of Uniontown series, Morgan’s talents are already being appreciated.

Angela Brown is a Uniontown city councilwoman who works in behavioral health and co-owns Brown Innovators. One of Morgan’s first featured subjects, Brown said the project has the potential to do a great deal of good in the community.

“One way to erase the divide is through education,” she said. “I feel, if others outside of this community actually see the good, hard-working residents in the city of Uniontown, they may be more compelled to join us in the efforts to bring life back into our community. We do not want to move from our lifelong homes. We love our community and want to bring back the days when we all were safe and thriving in life. Melvin’s vision sheds light on us all.”

Terry Vassar, co-founder of One Voice One Community, also was chosen and said he liked the idea of spotlighting people within the community. Vassar noted many of the community’s youth are unaware of the sacrifices and accomplishments of people they see daily, and the Giants of Uniontown project is helping to spotlight them.

“I thought it was a great thing to do because we always look to (recognize) people outside the community, but there are a lot of people right here doing things that these kids are seeing every day,” he said.

Morgan posts his photos and interviews on the AOP Visuals Facebook page and said he has received good feedback.

“The response has been amazing, just seeing everyone showing each other love,” he said. “Even if it’s just on Facebook, people are uplifting one another, sharing stories of how some of these giants helped them or even changed their lives. After seeing the outcome of this project, I want to do it again for February 2025.”

He also might consider expanding the scope of the project.

“This project was created to highlight Uniontown, but after seeing the response it got, I would love to highlight other towns throughout Fayette County in coming years,” he said.
