Kaleidoskope Portraits By Keya focuses on Vibrant & Emotive Boudoir & Beauty Photography and is located in Northeast Houston.

The word kaleidoscope is actually derived from the Greek language. It is three Greek words molded together: Kalos, Eidos, and Skopeo

Together these words mean Beautiful Forms to Behold.

I chose this name for my business because that is EXACTLY what you are Mama!

The other amazing thing is that when looking through a kaleidoscope, the shapes and colors change as you turn and change directions.

So just like a kaleidoscope, we too are always changing, but we are ALWAYS beautiful.
