Today we’d like to introduce you to Norma Chavez.
Hi Norma, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
As a young girl, I remember always carrying a single-use Kodak camera and taking pictures of my friends. At the age of 15, my parents bought me a reusable Kodak film camera but didn’t think of the price that would come with that. I would be at CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart every other week, developing film and getting more. By the age of 18, I was able to get a better film camera by Canon 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥．𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘪 𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘢.

That moment changed my life forever. I have been shooting every life milestones for friends and family ever since.
We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has definitely been a hit 𝘢𝘯𝘥 miss situation with life and all the curve balls that it throws． 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘢 𝘧𝘦𝘸 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯． I love photography and being able to capture those special occasions for all.
