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

Hi Nihar, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I am a big risk taker. The one thought that motivates me with every decision in my is that it is a risk to not take a risk.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I was always an introvert, very reserved and very reclusive in life. One day, it just struck me, I wasn’t introverted, I just am very empathetic and aware of emotions and energy. Working with clients has taught me to not only balance, but steer my passion in helping others feel their best version of themselves while working together.
It was not easy, but became easier as I opened and allowed myself to break down my shields to feel what others did. To get to know them and relate my experiences with theirs.
My brand is simple, I do not offer services or capture moments. I allow people to experience, create a memory.
As I like to say, ‘I come in as a stranger to capture your big day, and leave as family, forever tied to your memories!’

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?
Scorpion’s Gulch. It is this little plot with walls and no roof. Standing in the doorways and looking out, you can the horizons with no roof nor door to hold you back. You can step over the threshold and see the horizon lit with sunlight and it just, well, it simply opens up your dreams, and you realize they are reality.
