We had the good fortune of connecting with Vanessa Palomino and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Vanessa, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
Hi, guys! I am from West Palm Beach, Florida. My parents raised me to be academic focused, but I remember taking an art class in college and fell in love. I only understood art as pencil to paper not realizing that art can come in many forms. When I started dabbling in photography, I realized that my artistic side would come out through photography.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Building a business is not easy. But like a dear friend once said, nothing worth it comes easy. To overcome the challenge of building a business is to just do it- make the jump, seek out mentors, create art that speaks to others. One of the greatest lessons I have learned along the way is to be transparent. Many of my clients know who I am, and I am not just talking about knowing my name, they know me- they know my trials and tribulations, they know my dad’s cancer battle, they know my niece’s name- they truly get a snippet of the person I am.

I want the world to know that I am not just a business- I am a woman pouring their heart into creating a business. I want my brand to be personal for you and for me.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My father is one of my greatest mentors in life. Not only has he encouraged me to pursue college and beyond, he encourages me to be the best at what I am doing. He is my best friend, mentor, and greatest advocate.

Bela for her ever-encouraging words, wisdom and help.

Although no longer together, I would not have made the leap into this business without my ex-partner, Tom. Without his encouragement and help, Vanessa Palomino Photography would have never become a business. Thank you.
