Today we’d like to introduce you to Valeria Simon.
Hi Valeria, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I got my first camera in back in high school, when MySpace about the only form of social media. A digital camera was a highly requested Christmas gift I begged my parents for the sophomore year. It all started just taking pictures of Random scenery & things. I then looked into documenting food at one point and then ventured into family & friends. During the isolation of the pandemic, I found myself interested in learning more about documenting milestones & life events. In 2021 I went full-time & haven’t looked back since with the support of my husband & those that book with me yearly. I’ll continue to perfect my craft & get better each session.
Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I struggled at first because I’m on the more reserved spectrum. But as time continues, I’ve become more open & have developed strong relationships/ friendships with my clients.
