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

Hi Vivian, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my photography business is the happiness and gratitude in my clients when they receive their pictures. It motivates and pushes me to continue to do what I love!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Photography has always called my name. For a long time I wasn’t sure what my true passion was, I knew taking pictures was always in the back of my mind and even though I always tried new things I always came back to photography. Behind the camera is where I’m meant to be. The gratitude and feedback I get when a person receives their pictures is the best feeling in the world. I hope I can continue to be apart of people’s life journeys and document a part of their life that will forever change mine.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My favorite city to shoot in is definitely Pasadena. There are so many beautiful spots to take pictures and create magic. I love the vibe and every time I’m there I seem to experience new things!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
@dostheband they are special people in my life that have helped me in my photography journey and they deserve to be seen and heard!
