[QUOTE="wud, post: 191902, member: 13578"] Just started! VERY happy and excited about it (and falling apart with nervousness lol). This month I can say yes to number 1, but since I'm new, annual isn't anything I can look at yet. There have been a lot of start up costs. Have no idea how next month will turn out. My primary photography is of dogs and this is a very small genre, so customers aren't falling from the trees. Secondary, I really like shooting family pictures (mostly because it includes kids). So for now, I'll keep my halftime job, maybe someday I could get fewer hours and photograph more, would really love that. I have talked to my accountant (he is amazing! so helpful) and he said, it would be fine doing this business under my social security number for now, if it keeps growing, then open a firm. Am just about to write my bank if they could open another account for me, so I can transfer tax money every time I get paid, just to be sure not to have to pay a lot all in once out of my pocket. Studio I don't have yet. I cant really see how to make it at home, but have been looking at renting some space in a pro studio, but for now, I'm not doing it. I shoot outdoors. But I would love a studio someday and I know how I would like it already. My biggest problem is setting the prices, if people write to me they don't have so much money, I reply with way to cheap offers, sigh ;) But other than that, people are SO supporting to what I do, they share my offers and advertise (for free) for me, I feel very lucky.
