Our Artist and Coach, Anita Marie Trujillo.
How it all started…
From a young age, Anita found light and inspiration in the world of dance and the captivating essence of beauty. Beginning at the age of four, she embarked on a lifelong journey through various dance realms—from the disciplined grace of ballet to the passionate rhythm of ballroom. This ongoing journey has allowed her to master the art of visual storytelling, where every movement tells a tale!
As a pre-teen, Anita's love for aesthetics ignited, driving her to self-fund an education in professional modeling. Her earnest desire to learn and passion for creating naturally led her to explore film and digital photography in high school, where she learned to freeze moments in time and capture beauty from her unique perspective. Following high school graduation, Anita channeled her creativity and vision into a small portrait photography business, 930AM Photography.
In her twenties, Anita ventured into the world of business and finance, gaining valuable insights while working with prominent banks. These experiences armed her with the knowledge to foster growth and sustainability in businesses, serving as a Business Banker, Private Banker, and Strategic Initiatives Manager.
Now in her thirties, and over the past year (2023-2024), Anita has modeled in over 70 local shoots and continues to do so, enriching her approach and interactions with clients. This extensive experience allows her to guide and coach not only aspiring models and entrepreneurs but also her regular clients during personal portrait and video sessions, ensuring each session is a harmonious blend of comfort and breathtaking artistry.
Anita weaves together these diverse threads of experience—art, dance, modeling, and business—to inspire and mentor aspiring artists and entrepreneurs. Her art aims to empower, redefine beauty, and elevate the human spirit.
