Hi friends! My name is Deborah, though my family and close friends call me by my middle name, Zuleima. I’m a 31-year-old creative at heart, a go-getter, and a full-time professional photographer.

Creativity has always been my passion. I love challenging myself to design unique sets for every photoshoot, often building and creating everything by hand with the help of my parents. Family is at the core of who I am, and I’m proud to come from a hardworking, humble background that continues to inspire and motivate me every single day.

My story began when I moved to Las Vegas with my parents and siblings in 2008. In high school, I discovered a love for editing and spent countless hours teaching myself Photoshop. After graduating in 2012, I enrolled at UNLV with dreams of becoming a teacher, but life took a different turn when I learned I was going to be a mother.

As a young mom, I tried many ventures — from selling candy arrangements to handmade flowers, babysitting, and even Avon — but nothing hit off for me. That all changed when I picked up a camera. Photography quickly became more than just a skill; it became my passion and my career.

Today, I’m a proud mother of two beautiful little girls who keep me busy and inspired. Running a small business while raising them has been a challenge, but also my greatest joy. Through photography, I’ve been able to connect deeply with families, laugh with them, sometimes even share tears, and capture memories that last a lifetime. Many of my clients become like extended family, returning for milestone after milestone and sharing my name with their loved ones — something that means the world to me.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better. I can’t wait to hear your story and create something beautiful together.

With love,
Deborah Zuleima
