Video: A Mom’s Blend of Aviation Career and Life

As any career-minded professional with young children can attest, striking a balance between work and family life can be a challenge. For pilot and professional aviation photographer Jessica Ambats, assignments can take her anywhere in the world on short notice, not always easy to pull off with a daughter at home.

In this inspiring video, go behind the scenes as she devises a solution that works for everybody, preparing for multiple missions conducting a series of photo shoots in several locations while also caring for her young daughter in her down time.

It's a poignant reminder of the sacrifices parents happily make to manage a full-time career with the round-the-clock duties of being a working mom or dad, with a healthy dose of inspiring aviation footage as the backdrop.
