A year on the Coronacoaster. Self-employment during a global pandemic.

Wowee, it's been quite the year. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Hannah, and I quit my corporate job to be a fully self-employed photographer in January 2020. I had a busy wedding season lined up and all my ducks in a row financially - or...

“What do you do?”

I'll be honest, the news is making me want to deactivate my social media accounts this week. However, that’s not who I am. I LOVE social media. I love to stay connected with my friends and family, and I love making new connections in my industry or...

My First Year In Business

Hello, I’m Hannah! I’ve been a professional photographer for almost a year and I thought I’d start my first blog post by telling you how and why I got into it! In a nutshell, I was pretty unhappy in my corporate job having returned to work after my 2nd maternity leave...
