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

Hi MJ, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
I absolutely love photographing people. Truly getting to know people and capturing them and their personalities is so important to me. Making women feel beautiful and capturing families is special because you never know when those are a memory.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I capture people in their best light. I love to create an environment for them that is calming. I provide professional hair and makeup to help each woman feel and look beautiful!

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?
Gringos is a top for me! So good!
If it’s in March, we have to see the bluebonnets down in brenham. And we must have coffee from Puere in Fulshear!
