Here’s what’s in it for you!
I came full circle so I can give you my honest advice and opinions. I started doing wedding and portrait photography while serving in the U.S. Air Force and living in the barracks. Then, after being discharged, I worked out of our apartment, then several home studios before operating a shopping center studio location for twenty more years.
After that I sold my studio in PA and my wife and I moved to NC where I opened a home studio, worked out of our home for nine more years and came full circle. This time it was much easier starting over, since I had done this all before and I knew what I had to do to make my business successful again.
Now that I’m retired from wedding photography, I do occassional photography assignments and spend much of my time coaching and training photographers to become better photographers.
One important thing I learned is that there is a market for each segment and I’ll share with you how to get the most from your current situation.
Take this course today. Someone has to not only photograph the many weddings that are out there but if done properly you can earn a very good income. Plus, in addition to wedding photography, you’ll get additional business by offering engagement and pre-bridal portraits.
