We had the good fortune of connecting with Amber Coleman-Saliu and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amber, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Venturing beyond the confines of comfort has been the cornerstone of my journey. Leaving my hometown of Memphis with my young daughter Brooklynn to embark on a new life in the DFW area, devoid of familial support, was a leap of faith. Sometimes, the best space for growth is amid total discomfort. Coming out here that way certainly ignited a new passion within me, and there was no going back.

What should our readers know about your business?

Honestly, entrepreneurship came naturally to me. Even as a youth, I always aimed for perfection, which made people want to pay for my products and services, from highest-selling fundraisers in middle school to shaping eyebrows in high school and professionally applying eyelash extensions. This hustle mentality goes way back and has gotten me to where I am today.

What I do and how I do it involves so many factors, especially with my high level of perfectionism and customer service attached. I’m always working and staying on my toes with the passport consultation/travel advisor side for the constantly evolving travel alerts, documents needed, etc. I leave no stone unturned when it comes to capturing the perfect moment through mobile photography. Ensuring appropriate lighting is a non-negotiable, as it plays a pivotal role in creating timeless photographs. I take great care to provide clients with multiple options for their photos, recognizing that the image they choose will represent them for the next decade. I care about smaller details that make up, the bigger picture. However, the results speak for themselves, and I believe that the extra dedication and precision I invest in my work are what truly set my services apart.



If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Deep Ellum is an absolute must, especially during the week and daytime hours! It’s a vibrant hub of art, Rooftop brunch spots, and fun activities in the area. Trinity Groves is also a nice cluster of eats/bar scenes. Personally, I cherish Lake Hubbard as one of my favorite spots. I love the open-air boats on the lake, listening to music and enjoying adult beverages.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My heartfelt dedication goes to my daughters, Brooklynn and Bristol. Their tiny eyes and little feet are always watching and following my footsteps. To my supportive village, thank you for your unwavering encouragement, belief, and cheering along the way. Above all, I appreciate my former employer, the United States Postal Service, for pushing me beyond my comfort zone and illuminating the path to my future.
