Nicole Smith: Flying High With Her Unique Photography Business That's Changing The Travel Industry

Drown the Noise

Have you ever gone on vacation, only to return with way too many selfies and blurry photos? Well, that almost happened to the founder of Flytographer, Nicole Smith.

She was a few days into her trip with her best friend in Paris, when they both realized that their photos weren't properly depicting the great time they were having. Instead of taking more selfies, and settling for horrible images, they asked a friend to come along for the day to take some candid shots.

That's when it hit her. This was a time when experiences and photographic memories were so important. Why wasn't there a travel company offering this type of service?

Once home, she researched the topic and realized there was a hole in the market. So she started small, by offering photography sessions as gifts for friends that were on vacation, in order to test out her idea. And the rest is history.

Take a listen to see how Nicole bootstrapped her vision, while raising little kids and turned her dream into a reality. It wasn't easy; but her story proves that was your can dream, you can achieve with a lot of hard work and dedication.
