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

Hi Corrin, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
I am inspired by the unseen memories that we tend to forget exist while being in our daily routine. As a Photographer there are many things that inspire me; it could be the way the sunlight reflects off a certain object in the morning, walking the dog and seeing something bright in a dark area, colors, breathtaking scenery, driving and thinking “dang that will be a great picture”, or just freezing a beautiful moment like children playing. Having the ability to create beautiful images and sharing what I see through the lens of my camera to the world. In my opinion having a lifetime memory to share and give to others is far more valuable than anything in this world. Nothing inspires me more than taking an authentic image that captures the true image of my subjects. Their personality, their life, and their own reflection of which they know and love. Sharing and giving that to people makes me absolutely thrilled about what I do.

What should our readers know about your business?
Well Captured Moments Photography is my business. I am an outdoor family Photographer who offers many different sessions from maternity, children portraits, newborn, family portraits, lifestyle, and special occasions. Photography sessions are located throughout the greater Houston area to Katy. Natural light is my specialty. Being outdoors creates a relaxed free zone for my clients. As a family they are less tense, the kids are wild, happy, free to run, and jump around as they please without the worries of breaking expensive equipment. With a stress-free environment, I get beautiful canned family portraits, which creates the best images of themselves. I am not a posed photographer; I will however direct my clients into a shot, but my portraits will tell their story of them in that moment. What sets me apart from other photographers? My work and my ability to not treat photography as a job that is the beauty of what sets me apart from the rest of the photographers. I passionately believe if you love what you do it will not feel like work. I am deeply passionate about my sessions and it shows from the beginning to the end. Now, I must confess that I do tend to get a little trigger-happy (okay so not a little, I go overboard) but there is no limit for a perfect shot. I am the proudest when my finished products are sent to my clients. The feedback feels spectacular, knowing you have made someone’s day by simply doing what you love. That is priceless! I am where I am today because of God and people who love and believe in me. I have had several challenges starting my Photography business. But that did not stop me from continuing this journey. Was it easy? No, it was not easy! I have had my doubts about my work but each time I did it I saw my mistakes and that encouraged me to do better next time. I overcame my challenges by having someone in my corner rooting for me, they saw me before I even knew who I was or what I was capable of. It is important to have people in your corner helping you along the way because the sad truth is, we can be our worst critics sometimes. The lessons I have learned along the way is do not give up on the one thing that truly makes you happy. My brand is lifestyle, I want the world to know that you can be beautiful in your own skin. I aim to capture yours and your family’s unique beauty, so you can see yourself the way others see you.

Any great local spots you’d like to shoutout?
Downtown Houston, just because it has a lot of creativity and hidden gems all around it. Houston has a lot to offer in different parts of the city from art to its unique restaurants.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would give my recognition to my family and friends. Without their support photography would only be a hobby as it once was before. My dearest friend Cynthia has always been supportive and pushed me to do something with that passion I have for photography. Honestly speaking, it was a frightening move to do Photography full-time and I cannot thank my ex enough for his full support while I was creating a brand for myself. I have so much support from everyone it is over overwhelming. A big shoutout to all the people who have done my model calls, y’all have truly helped my business grow and I am very blessed for that. Thank you to Rhonda & Megs for allowing me to be creative y’all are always supportive while I explore new things.
