A typical week

Less shooting than you imagine. Maybe one or two shoot days: a product session in a rented studio, a portrait booking, a wedding that eats an entire Saturday from 9am to midnight. The rest is culling thousands of frames, editing, backing up, answering inquiries, writing quotes, chasing invoices, posting work and meeting clients who may never book. Busy season and dead season are both real, and you have to budget across them.
