Photography studio – 2020 a year like now other!
When I started to think about writing my photography studio 2020 review my heart sank! Â How was I going to be able write something positve and uplifiting? Â But actually once I started to prepare my material I realised that 2020 had been pretty spectacular for my photography studio. Â The year like no other has forced me to think outside the box and push my boundaires like never before.
Despite my photography studio being closed for over 4 months of the year I have been able to photograph lots of adorable new babies. Â The first Lockdown back in March meant that by the time some of the babies were able to visit the photography studio they were as old as 10 weeks. Â Prior to 2020 this would have sent me into a wave of panic but the reality proved to be much easier than I imagined and I was able to still create stunning baby photos despite them being less interested in sleep then I was used to. Â
 Being closed for 12 weeks was a very challenging experience and I know I am not alone in the financial worry that this caused.  Creating the wonderful digital creations via photos taken by my clients gave me a little income and gave me something to keep me busy why my photography studio was closed and trapped at home for days at a time.   Â
Photography Studio Lockdown Project
The lockdown had a massive impact on families and businesses across the world but it also had a massive impact on the funds that chairities recieve. Â Many many charitable events were cancelled and so the money raised from these also lost. Â I wanted to do something to help them, so in my little corner of Lincolnshire I did my own little Lockdown doorstep project. Â As we were only able to leave our homes for exercise I took to walking the local area with my camera and capturing families at their front doors in return for a donation to the Lincolnshire Air Amubulance. Â I loved that as well as supporting a local charity the project reflected life in 2020.
During the first lockdown I spent some time in my little photography studio working on some personal projects. Â It was nice to be able to work on some things for myself and experiment a little. Â Sadly my youngest isn’t always a willing model but my eldest was keen to help and as alway my four legged children were keen to co-operate in return for sausages.
In the absence of squiggy babies to photograph I was also able to finally take time to put together a panel of images for submission to the Guild of Photographers and was delighted to be awarded my qualified status.  I have since started to think about my panel for craftsman and look forward to submitting another panel in the future.Â
As restrictions started to lift in June and I was able to reopen my photography studio I noticed a shift in enquires. as well as capturing my usual babies, sitters and cake smash clients there was an increase in Family photography enquires. Â I guess the change in lifestyle and not being able to visit family had brought home the importance of capturing loved ones and making memories. Â It has been a true honour to record so many wonderful families this year and I really hope this trend continues going into 2021.Â
Finally I would like to say thank you to all of my wonderful clients for trusting me to capture your memories for you. It truely has been a pleasure. Â It really is true, Â If you do a job you love then you never have to work a day in your life. Â I am really blessed to be in such a postion.
I look forward to meeting many more adorable babies and families in 2021, along with seeing lots of familiar faces who have sessions already booked. I do love that you all come back time and time again and I am able to enjoy watching your little ones grow.
Wishing you all a fantastic 2021!
