What do you mean you're working?

I just read a really great article on BrideTide, a wedding blog. Sometimes I have family or friends call and ask what I'm doing. I usually always say working and sometimes they ask me to explain. I get the feeling that many people think a wedding photographers job only involves taking photos and editing them in Photoshop. I snagged these nifty pie charts from BrideTide and I hope you follow the link and read the whole blog entry.

The above chart explains what most people think a wedding photographer’s work week is like. The bottom chart is an example of what most PROFESSIONAL photographers do in a typical week. One thing all my colleagues and I have in common is that we wish our work days resembled the above chart. I would add a few more slices to my pie below which would include reading wedding blogs, learning opportunities and brainstorming with other wedding professionals. This is a HIGHLY competeitive business and quite honestly it's not very easy!
