GIGI

New York Portrait and Brand Photographer

If you would have told me years ago that I’d be a full time photographer running my own business, I probably wouldn’t believe you. 

And not because I didn’t think I’d be successful. 

But because my idea of success was more like getting a solid 9-5 in the creative field that paid really well. Being my own boss wasn’t even a thought in that little ambitious head of mine.

My Story (but quick)

I was born and raised in The Bronx. Yea, I have literally Iived in New York City my entire life lol

I always had a camera in my hand growing up, but interestingly enough, I always wanted to be a screenwriter and run my own tv show. That’s why when I got accepted to NYU Tisch, I took a ton of screenwriting classes under my film major. Little did I know that after college (well, after my corporate job phase) I would slowly start getting gigs here and there to do shoots and events. I tried to focus only on video, since that’s what I was most comfortable with. But the amount of photography inquires I received made me realize that I was missing out on a huge opportunity.

So I started taking photos. Best creative decision ever :)

RANDOM FACTS

I was obsessed with The Vampire Diaries growing up. Oh and High School Musical. Yep, I was that girl.

I’ve actually had the name Lens of Her since I joined Instagram in 2012. I just thought it fit perfectly when it was time to take my craft seriously.

I LOVE the sun. It inspires me & can change my whole mood. I will soak it all up then be nowhere to be found in the winter. Catch me having a picnic at the park or at the beach :)

My favorite book that inspired me the most as a creative is Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert.

“This is not transactional, it’s meant to be transformative”
