The Early Days
I’ve been professional photographer since 2006, prior to that I studied Professional Photography and Digital imaging for 3 years…and before that….I worked in dental health settings for many years as a dental nurse and then a dental health educator!
I loved my job, I held clinics, I developed education materials and I worked all over the west coast of Scotland. However I’d always wanted to be a photographer for as long as I can remember. In 2003 I went back to full time education. I loved every minute of it, but learned nothing about business… and in 2006 I opened my first studio.
As you probably already know, being a photographer and running a business are two completely different things…if you did know that, then you are already leaps and bounds ahead of me when I opened my first studio, but I learned fast!
