You should be getting active in your local Chamber of Commerce, and seeking out where your local Pros hang out... and joining your local camera/photog clubs so you can come into contact with the local Pros...  that serves more than a few purposes... gaining credibility within your own area...and giving the local Pros an opportunity to meet you...  there are probably more than a few professional associations that will welcome you, and as a benefit, you'll gain insight/knowledge into what other Pros in your area are charging/doing...</blockquote>
