Andre Toro of www.andretorophotography.com is a US-based, Venezuelan mother of two.
Before photography, she was an electrical engineer with an MBA from MIT. She is a self-proclaimed nerd, math lover, and businesswoman to her core.
Five years ago, she had a life wake-up call following a massive concussion that stopped her for literally months.
She decided that life was too short not to follow her biggest passion, so she quit her corporate job and pursued photography full-time—a hobby she had loved until then.
When she started five years ago in photography, she had zero clients.
In 2023, her revenue was $440K, and she says she's just getting started!
She runs an IPS studio in Lexington, north of Boston, specialising in family portraits and headshots.
In this interview, learn how to evolve your business from zero to huge success by finding your direction and then going all in on the business side to grow and profit quickly.
