Nouf Dulaijan from Karmoosha Photography
When and why did you decide to go into children’s photography?
My love for photography had been there for more than 10 years, but I found myself in love with children’s photography right after my son was born and his sweet smile was the bright star of every image I took. I kept getting deeper and deeper into this art form until I finally started Karmoosha Photography in 2013.
What is the best part about your work?
Hands down it’s having these joyful, tiny people as my clients.
What are the benefits of working from home?
I get to be close to my family and I never have to be separated from my child who needs me most at this young age. I don’t miss out on special moments, emergencies or even everyday routines.
And the challenges?
Trying to balance family and work at home is a major challenge. I have to make a strong effort to close my computer after a certain hour and leave the office to be with my family. It’s so hard to clear my mind off work and focus on my life because my office is a constant reminder of work.
What do you love most about your office?
It’s cozy, full of light and a constant reminder of my achievements.
What is one feature you are most proud of in your office?
My desk, where I spend days and nights editing, printing and working away from the camera. I created a happy little office with lots of quotes and inspiring words to help me stay positive.
What advice would you give to our readers about being an entrepreneur and a photographer?
Invest in courses and learning tools, but most importantly you must dare to experiment. The hardest thing is learning how to trust and believe in yourself and your work.
As a photographer, learn the art of business and marketing because while snapping a photo may happen naturally, selling that photo is something you need to learn.
Finally, seeking professional help is never a sign of failure like most people think; it’s actually a sign of strength and a healthier business.
