You've heard me talking a lot about stock photography so far, and I've touched on starting a youtube channel - but this year I set myself the goal of testing out 10 - 12 ways to make money as a photographer from home, that I could do around the kids and the rest of life! And since it's half way through the year now - I thought I'd share in case you were wanting to get some of these going for yourself by the end of the year.

What I’ve learned in my first 6 months doing stock photography, including the BIGGEST lesson I’ve learned (which was only last week!) and how that’s totally changing the way I’m doing it from now on.

Life, Interrupted. My stock photography journey took a detour…

Month 4 and 5 of doing stock photography, hitting pause: when life says “hold your shutter!”, my sales for April and May, + expectations for June.

Month 3 of my Stock Photography journey - and I’ve realised that it seems like discussing Stock photography around photographers is a bit like mentioning a 4 letter word in polite company.

Starting as a brand new Stock Photography Contributor! Super excited and can’t wait to share my journey - joining in the conversation in the same way others have inspired me.

Interested in starting your Stock Photography journey? Come along on mine, while I share my income, uploads, challenges and learnings! Month 2 - February 2024

I believe we’re put here to be the best versions of ourselves - whatever that may be. But this is my take on living a life less ordinary.

Crazy idea’s and using a speedlight for the first time! And this is what we came up with….

I was going for 100, but I managed 40 ways to get better at your photography. ;)

I stopped sharing my craft, my joy, my photos - because they weren’t “curated” or “cohesive” enough. But it paralyzed me to stop doing the thing I loved the most - just capturing life.
