#Fully booked meaning full
In the effort of full transparency, I wanted to share what a sample work schedule looks like for me based on last week. On the other days I am doing some of the following tasks: What this really means is that I am working ON LOCATION 3 days per week. Only working three days a week? Sign me up! From the outside, that might seem like a low number. For me, fully booked means that I have 3 sessions per week, which comes out to 12-14 per month. As I said above, the magic number is different for every business. I can only speak for myself on this topic.

Let’s chat about what fully booked means to me! This is why finding the balance is vitally important. While I do 100% love what I do and have fun, it is a full-time job with a six figure income! Balancing a full-time job while ALSO trying to care for young children can feel impossible. Lot’s of people wrongly believe that photography is my side job that I do only for fun while being a stay-at-home Mom. Without finding that magic number you can either feel totally overwhelmed, or conversely, not be profitable/busy enough to stay in business. Factors that determine what ‘fully booked’ means for each individual might include: childcare needs, editing process, length of sessions, weather and more.Ī major part of owning one’s own business is figuring out what your “magic number” of clients is. The answer to this question varies for every family photographer. As a client, you’re probably wondering: what does it mean when a Boston family photographer says they are ‘fully booked’? Why can’t they squeeze one more session in for me? Surely they aren’t photographing families every single evening? What does ‘fully booked’ really mean for a family photographer in Boston? If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll remember that I chatted about this in my stories over the weekend.
