We had the good fortune of connecting with Arin Vicrtorian and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Arin, how does your business help the community?
My passion for photography drives off of helping people and my community! Not only do I keep my prices affordable so that EVERY couple has the chance to have amazing photography for their special moments, but I also donate my services to non-profits and organizations around my city. Some of those organizations involve my photos possibly being the only thing they will have to remember a loved one or pet, other than memories.

I strive to make memories with people while I capture them so looking back they don’t only see a beautiful photo, but remember an amazing time they experienced as well!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Being a photographer has definitely come with challenges. It’s not just a point-shoot concepts like others may assume. When you’re not proud of your work, especially in the beginning it can be so discouraging and make you want to quit. Then comes the other side.. when you ARE proud of your work, imposture syndrome sets in and you feel like people won’t see what you see.

Thankfully, the feedback my clients provide me with and the support from everyone around me is extremely reassuring! Do I still get imposture syndrome? Absolutely! Do I ever wonder if my clients will dislike their photos or experience with me? Absolutely NOT!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
When visiting Dallas, I 1000% recommend booking a photographer and capturing some memories around the city! Find a great rooftop parking garage and capture some views and sights of the city or if you prefer a little more quiet and relaxed, take a stroll through Lakeside or Dragon park.. and for my shopping lovers, you can’t go wrong with the Dallas Galleria! No matter what you’re into, be picture ready and ENJOY!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My business could not and would not be where it is without the help from my amazing wife and life coach, Amber Phoenix Victorian! Her passion for helping others and her knowledge for every type of profession’s success is absolutely incredible.. I just so happened to get to be married to her!

Without the tools she has taught me along the way, I would have been lost! When telling other small businesses about her, I always say, “when you have a passion for something and want to make it a business, you almost have to have a passion for business too or it won’t be successful. That’s where my wife came into play and I’m forever grateful!”
