Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Chandra Pinger. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Chandra , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?

Being successful comes from a mindset. You need to believe you can succeed and push yourself to succeed. There will always be rough patches, it’s pushing yourself to over come those rough patches where you will begin to see your success.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I love creating a space where people are themselves and feel beautiful. I began photography three years ago. I modeled a lot for my friends who just started photography. One day I bought a camera and practiced on friends & family. I fell in love with the craft of making people feel beautiful. Each session I do I feel I learn something new.

One thing that sets me a part from others is I see small details in each image. I take my time and make sure each image is perfect.

Im very proud of how far I’ve come in the photography world. I’ve met some amazing people along this journey! A lot of the people I’ve photographed are still some pretty close friends.

Im very big on making sure you’re comfortable and feel beautiful! I love showing the back of the camera and seeing peoples faces light up and saying “ Is that what I really look like? Cause I look good!” It’s a joy and it gives me life.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

What helped me most is word of mouth and my portfolio! Each post has a meaning to me.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

A lot of my new clients come from word of mouth or on social media.
