It's a beautiful sunny afternoon.

You’re in your kitchen & suddenly notice the gorgeous sun filtering through the window, falling on the basket of vegetables.

That light is so striking that you’re mesmerized & drop everything you’re doing, go get your camera and take photos all afternoon capturing the light in all its glory.

Such is your love for food and photography & when others see it they tell you, “if you love photography so much you should do it for a living?”

It seems like a natural course of action, right? Make your passion your profession is what everyone says. 

…But what if you don’t want to? 

What if the idea of being a professional food photographer does not excite you?  

What if the idea of commercial photography does not appeal to you? 

Join me as I speak to fellow podcaster and photographer, Becky Hadeed who is an amazing food photographer but does not pursue it professionally. Becky has a strong purpose behind her food photography and she shares why it is ok to not make photography your business.

She talks about how to stay inspired, bring storytelling to photography, keep the joy in your art and use your love for food photography to compliment other business opportunities.

With so much buzz on social media, it is possible to feel the pressure to turn our love for food & photography into something that brings in the dollars. But not everyone wants to be a professional food photographer - some out of choice and some out of limitations.

We can be terrific photographers even if it is not our full-time job and also use our photography for other opportunities, something we may not have considered. Becky tells us how.
