Chelsea Tornga, a brilliant Tacoma-based portrait photographer, received funding to purchase new equipment, including a drone, lens, a second camera, lighting gear, and a photo booth.
“Receiving this Small Business Grant will have a tremendous impact on my business,” Tornga said. “With the new equipment, I can offer a wider range of services and attract new clients.”
The photo booth rentals will be especially beneficial, providing a steady revenue stream and keeping her business active year-round, she said. And with the increased business, she also anticipates hiring a second photographer.

Thank you to the Washington State Department of Commerce for partnering with Local Workforce Boards on this initiative that allows local small businesses grow and thrive.
