We had the good fortune of connecting with Gladys Gonzalez Lopez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gladys, what are you inspired by?
I am inspired by the moments, the little ones, the timeless ones. The ones that you look back on and smile, breathe in the memory and feel it all over again.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I believe what sets me apart is that I built a team of 6 models, 1 hair stylist and 1 makeup artist. once a month we get together and I direct the styled/creative shoot theme for that month. My thought process on this was to show myself, along with everyone else, something new and bold. it isn’t everyday that you see a modeling team of 6 girls with a certain theme creating unique magic. And that’s what I have prouder myself with, that one I took the leap and just DID instead of continuing to wait for it to come to me, I am proud of myself and my girls for getting out of our comfort zone and just doing new beautiful art. The lessons I’ve learned along the way is that it tales a true, united team. Sure I come up with the ideas but my girls, my team help bring them to life. I couldn’t do it without them. I want the world to know that I am about unity and team effort and support. Without it, I simply couldn’t come this far.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Oh that’s a good question, I would first suggest for us to visit Pi social. Their Buffalo cauliflower wings are the BEST. I would then want to take them to visit the Paleta Bar, their Mexican ice cream is uniquely satisfying. There isn’t a whole lot to do in good ole Midland Tx, but we for sure would make the best of it, maybe drive 2 hours away to visit Lubbock or even go to big spring tx to visit their state park.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My family, my husband. They above all have believed in me, encouraged me and invested time and money into my business. It isn’t easy being a mom and wife and a small business owner. The family also feels the weight on their shoulders, they to carry the business even if it’s me editing and coming up with idea’s and shooting the sessions, it’s because of their time and understanding that I am able to do what I do.
