What Do I Do Whilst Waiting For 'My' Baby To Arrive?

Many photographers have primary or secondary jobs to support their creative work. I'm not talking about 'hobbyist' weekend photographers but people who are dedicated to providing a professional service. I've chosen to be a full time professional photographer ~ concentrating on my business 110%  ~ but there's a lot more to running a full time photography business than the shoots. Apart from all the usual aspects of running a small business, there is the booking, editing, ordering, follow-ups and so on. And after the maternity shoots have to wait for the babies to arrive so that I can schedule those beautiful newborn sessions!

So what do I do whilst I'm waiting for 'my' babies to arrive? Well one third of my work supports Disability & Community Arts and this can involve documenting events or running workshops, working to help raise the profile of local organisations. Rarely do I get a chance to disappear with my camera to shoot purely for myself, so yesterday was an absolute joy! I spent the day at Westbury Farm with some of my fellow Catchlight Collective members ~ a group of the best photographic artists from MK and the surrounding area. With no clients to capture I was out of my comfort zone initially, but soon got into the flow and had a brilliant time exploring this fabulous space. These are some of my favourites . . . in management speak the experience was professional development at its finest!
