Today we’d like to introduce you to Daisy Ortega.
Daisy, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I was interested in Journalism & Yearbook when I was in high school. I didn’t really have much interests at first but once I advanced to Yearbook I was more and more into taking photos of the soccer games, athletes and student life. I began working a little more and more on detail for the pictures and started to see what others couldn’t and being able to capture it was pretty amazing. Once I graduated from high school I bought my first actual professional camera and began freelancing. I started taking pictures of my family, objects, pets etc. One day I got the idea to begin my own photography business and page on Instagram. I began the year of 2018 and started taking maternity, birthday parties and family shoots. It was more of a weekend hobby for me, & to be able to make some extra money. I grew to love photography more and more and the way people reacted to my skills and being able to capture beautiful moments for others was and is a great feeling to me. It’s more about just taking pictures.. it’s about capturing these moments and others being able to trust me to capture those moments and make something even more beautiful out of them. I took some time away from photography during the pandemic of 2020 but towards the end of the year I began to be more inspired and creative. I’m looking forward to seeing what 2021 and the rest of the years of what they have in store for me and my business!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It’s been a challenge. To challenge myself and my creativity but every shoot gives me a new opportunity to be different and be more creative and to be able to gain more experience and learn.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about ShuttersoundbyDaisy – what should we know?
I am a Photographer. As a small business owner I am proud to be able to have created my passion and love for photography into something I can share with others and be able to grow more as an individual and a photographer.
