Today, we have a very special guest, Linette, a Latina portrait Photographer and Creative Director who has an amazing story to share.

 

Linette graduated with a Bachelors in Communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 2012 and started her career in photography in 2014, quickly becoming a rising star in her industry.

 

Life took a drastic turn when she had to do a cross-country move with her family where she welcomed her second child a month later. As a mother of two, without a village, Linette slowly lost control of her purpose.

 

Through self-discovery, moving back home, and psychotherapy, Linette was able to find her footing again. Raising multicultural children, Linette's goal is to build community and empower women through photography to see and be the best version of themselves. Her journey has been both inspiring and uplifting, and we're excited to hear all about it.

 

Linette is also getting ready to launch her own podcast this year around self value within us and becoming a mental health ally to empower others to get the tools they need in their mental health journey.

 

So, let's get started and hear from Linette herself about her experiences as a mother, a photographer, and creative director. This is a conversation you don't want to miss!
