Conversations with Mercedes Salas

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mercedes Salas.

Mercedes Salas

Hi Mercedes, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I started my photography business when my son was born in May 2019. Absolutely loved making themed sets… After months of friends and family asking if I can take their photos as well. I took the big leap. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I would definitely say I have been blessed with a smooth(ish) road. There have been a few bumps as any new business goes threw. 

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I would say that I’m specialize in photographing family, wedding, portraits, and boudoir. 

I’m extremely proud in my boudoir work in particular. But I also am extremely proud of my work with fellow autistic families and getting their picture dreams come true. As a mom with an autistic son myself, I know how tricky photographing them can be, 

Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I am not a natural risk-taker, but over the years, I have developed the confidence to take risks when it matters. When it comes to professional decisions, I have taken a significant amount of calculated risks that have paid off.
