72 || FASHION MAGAZINE || JANUARY 2017What parts of your work do you enjoy the most and what are your greatest stresses at work?The part of my work I enjoy the most is coming up with concepts meeting and talking with my clients, I always have a great time during my shoots. My number one favorite has to be creating the final artwork in Photoshop, that%u2019s when all the time, connections and ideas come to life. The most stressful part would be overbooking myself and feeling overwhelmed by impending deadlines. Finding a perfect balance between time, life and work is always the challenge.What impact has your family had on your motivation and desire to pursue photography as a career?I have been an artist my entire life, when I was 16 in high school I decided that photography would be the most lucrative business for an artist. The last thing your parents want to hear is that you are going to be an artist for your career. All my cousins were going to be accountants that is more what your parents want to hear. Being told this is not a career you can make a living at, always motivated me to prove everyone wrong. In the end my parents were supportive and are proud of my accomplishments. As far as my husband and son go, well they didn%u2019t have much of a choice, I have been a professional photographer for years before they existed in my life :) Owning my own photography business has worked out great for us as a family since I am incharge of my own schedule.
