 L.H. from Cirencester……

...started with little experience of photography other than taking the usual family snaps.

This was the ideal opportunity as I have three children and am a single mum. I wanted something creative and challenging, have time for demanding children and feel I was building something positive for me and the family.

I also needed school holidays to be free, but as the children are growing up I am now finding I can add new markets and opportunities which gives me even more potential.

I have even built a small studio in the garage! I am very impressed with the support of the magicMomentsdirect team, the service of the laboratory who take care of my work and the colourful products and presentations.

For about 20 hours a week, the chance to work when and if I want, meeting other mums similar to me means I have found this an ideal business. I am at my busiest in the Autumn term and run up to Christmas…..

I cannot think of any real downsides and would have no hesitation to recommend this market and the team at magicmomentsdirect.
