We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Terez Balboa. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Terez below.
Terez, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Day to day the world can seem like a tough place, but there’s also so much kindness in the world and we think talking about that kindness helps spread it and make the world a nicer, kinder place. Can you share a story of a time when someone did something really kind for you?
I stepped into photography May if 2020, and my birthday was in August. Now surrounding my life around this new found found dream my friends Chelsea & Latifah bought my entire Amazon wish list that was things i needed to really step into my photography business journey!
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 started photography in 2020 after being a photographer’s assistant for almost two years. I made my friends be my models which turned into actual clientele. Aside from photography i also do content creation, influencing, i have my own podcast, and i have my own photography studio i rent out for other creatives.
I truly feel like my brand separated from others, because my target audience isn’t the “BBL Instagram Model” image. We strive to find everyday people and give them the famous life they deserve.
Know by booking Balboa’s Multimedia Company we’re capturing temporary moments that will last forever!
Have you ever had to pivot?
Ever since i started my company i did something called “Campaigns”. These were monthly photoshoots i did for free to introduce and collab with local models. I started to notice not only was i giving my creative ideas away for free, but i was so focused on models i didn’t give that energy and time into my clients.
So not only did i start doing campaigns weekly, starting charging for them, and opening it to the public, but it was a way for me to expand my business!
How did you build your audience on social media?
Building an audience comes from one thing and that’s CONSISTENCY. I live, breath, and eat content but that also has to show on social media as well.
