Surviving on Freelance
Finding more freelance gigs can be challenging. I’ve been working hard ever since I lost my job in October 2008 (wow about a year now!) Jobs I’ve had since losing my job:
A story and photo for Everyday Christian, modeling photos for Halos & Harlots, a few stories for Greenville Magazine, photos and a story for Greer Now magazine and I found some odd jobs on Craigs List. Right now my main sources of income are from MetroMix where I am a “Party Crasher” and take photos at events around town and Out of Debt Christian where I blog about finances. I am hoping to still get more work from Everyday Christian and Greer Now.
As for the future, I have a wedding photo shoot coming up in November and one of the most exciting things for me right now is working on a couple of Christian books. (More details on those to come later.)
I continue to search for more opportunities and hope that some of my regular jobs will lead to others. I met with a friend of mine who shoots weddings the other day and she gave me some advice. It’s always great to talk to other photographers. You can see her work at Christine Mason Photography.
As I write this I am thinking about an interesting MetroMix assignment that I have tonight. You ready for this? It’s Zombie Prom at Ground Zero in Spartanburg. My neighbor, with Haughton Lab, and my husband Kevin, who works for SynTerra, are going with me. Should be an interesting night.
