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

Hi Emily, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My journey started off taking pictures of close friends and family who struggled finding a photographer without ridiculous prices. While understanding the importance of capturing every milestone and moments of other people, I had came to my conclusion with my business. I want to continue to capture and create content that won’t be just captivating, but also affordable.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Creating and capturing content that is not only captivating but affordable is what makes Shutters unique. I am so grateful to have finally taken the leap of faith to start my business this year. Making a business work requires a little thinking outside the box, from using my sons room to set up a mini studio to lots of DIY props. I always find a way to make things work professionally and personally. It definitely has not been easy, but with a great support team behind me I have been able to make my dream a reality.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
A few of my favorite places do not include vast amounts of tourist or the hottest brunch spots. What they do include is lushes greenery and brick pavement. I love unwinding in natural parks or venturing in and out of downtowns alley ways. Of course not only to get the prefect picture, but Fort Worth has a lot of culture and natural open areas. You have to be able to look past the many longhorns and cowboy hats to find those hidden locations.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Definitely would like to give a shout out to the best support team I know, my family. Thank you to my husband, son and mother who who have always supported me since day one. Shutters would not be possible without them and many more. Love you guys!
