Today we’d like to introduce you to Aracely Cuenca
Hi Aracely, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Photography has always been my passion, the ability to freeze moments in time and relive them over and over again is what truly inspires me.
In 2020, my husband gifted me my first DSLR camera for my first Mother’s Day because he knew how much photography meant to me. As a mom, I wanted to capture every precious moment, but in those early days, I relied solely on auto mode. In 2023, I decided to take my passion to the next level and pursue my dream of becoming a professional photographer. Now, a year later, I look back on everything I’ve learned with gratitude and excitement for what’s ahead. I specialize in capturing families, couples, maternity, and more; because to me, every moment is worth preserving. Whether it’s a familiar setting or something entirely new, I’m always up for the challenge. I am also expanding into wedding photography and in just my second year in business, I am proud to have already booked three weddings; an achievement that fuels my passion even more.
If you’re looking for a photographer who truly values storytelling through images, I’d love to be the one to capture your special moments.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Throughout my journey, I have faced many challenges, but I’ve learned that consistency and determination are the keys to success. Stepping out of my comfort zone has become a sign of growth for me, when I feel challenged. I always remind myself that if I’m not learning, I’m not growing.
There have been moments of doubt when I’ve questioned whether I should continue, but one thing has always remained clear: this is my passion, and I refuse to give up on a dream I’ve had for as long as I can remember. I am committed to learning, growing, and overcoming every obstacle that comes my way in pursuit of success.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a passionate lifestyle photographer dedicated to capturing candid moments for families, couples, maternity sessions, and more. Known for my commitment to an amazing client experience, I take a personalized approach to ensure each session reflects my clients’ unique visions. Beyond simply taking photos, I go the extra mile to make my clients feel comfortable and fully enjoy their time with me. I take great pride in delivering high quality work to each of my clients, but what truly fulfills me is hearing their feedback and seeing them share their joy with family and friends. Word of mouth has been my most valuable source of referrals, allowing me to continue connecting with new clients through genuine recommendations and shared experiences.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
Over time, I have learned to trust my vision and have gained confidence in my creative ideas. When I first started, I often doubted myself, but I am grateful to have overcome that uncertainty. Embracing my creativity has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally, shaping my work in meaningful ways.
