This home grown family Jersey girl is absolutely wonderful! Family is not just important, it's her why. Like many of us we do what we do because of them. She is a surgical coordinator at a local hospital and loves it. But in her free time she's guaranteed to have a camera in hand! Photography has a beautiful way of growing from a hobby into a business. Meet Lissette Pajaro of Lissette Pajaro Photography and learn about her photography journey!

Tell me a little about your photography business!

I started my business in 2010. I used to shoot everything from events to boudoir. But recently I have rebranded and my specialty is families big and small. My journey has had its ups and downs and love to learn new editing techniques and everything about photography.

What started your photography journey?

My husband told me to follow my dream and he encouraged me to open my own photo business. He has been my best supporter since day one. My family and my husband are my why and my inspiration.

What is your favorite thing about running a photography business?

I love capturing the unity and love from families and getting to know them! Family isn't just important it's often who you do life with.

What is something you’ve achieved that you’re proud of?

I was featured on a small photo magazine a few months ago. It felt so good!

If you could tell your past self one thing, what would it be?
