Good luck to you! I think this is a great idea! I have not done photography but I started my own business teaching music when I couldn t find any other jobs. Your idea about business cards and so forth is great. Definitely do that. I would make up some flyers and post them anywhere you can like coffee shops, schools, anyplace with kids, bridal shops, etc. Depending on where you post your flyer, you can focus on a specific service such as birthdays. You might consider offering a discount or at least advertise great rates for a starting photographer. Maye say something like, YOU WORKED HARD TO GIVE HIM/HER THE BEST BIRTHDAY PARTY EVER. NOW MAKE IT MEMORABLE! Photographer available for professional shots of your child s special moment. Fantastic rates!..etc. What about talking to your local recreation center - parks and recreation - to see if they would like to offer holiday pictures. You could set up a camera on a Saturday with a background of some sort and take pictures for five or ten dollars. This could help you promote your photograpy business and it may bring lots of people to meet you. Even better, if you could find a good Santa Claus to put in your pictures, you would attract a lot of people. Hope this helps. I m starting to fall asleep!! Good luck!
