Why Start a New Portrait Photography Business?

By T Stevens

Firstly - I’m a parent, and there are certain pictures of the children that take center stage, and that’s well done portrait photographs. I can stare at them for ages. My mother had little portrait shots covering every available space on her dining room cabinet of friends, children and pets too. Everybody will buy a good portrait photo if if captures a special memory.

Ollie, a good friend of mine, has always loved taking all types of pictures, the walls of his cottage have beautiful prints of shots Ollie and his wife favor mostly, their children - four-year-old beautiful twin girls. As you can imagine there are quite a few pictures of the girls all around. He has a canny way of “capturing the natural” in his photography. In fact, on first looking at his photographs I thought they were professional prints!

Anyway, Ollie’s hobby took center stage. The twins often had friends over to play, and when the parents came to collect their children they saw all the photography. Like myself they assumed they were professional portrait pictures. So when finding out that Ollie took them they would often ask if he would take portraits photographs of their kids. Soon enough he was taking bookings for portraits, christenings even weddings. He was getting very busy just by word of mouth.

I got a call from Ollie one morning, quite out of the blue. He said that he was considering starting a new portrait photography business; to be completely honest I knew he was good but I wasn’t sure he could make a living out of it… Until he explained to me, that even I pay $70 for a single portrait picture of my kids. I thought about it for a second and then smiled to myself as I knew that of course it’s possible.

So there you have it starting a new portrait photography business can be done quite easily if you have a good camera and a passion for taking pictures. I for one can’t resist buying pictures of the people and the animals I love … Who can?

If your thinking about starting a new portrait photography business have a look at how my good buddy Ollie got his venture off the ground. He essentially works from home now and says he’s earning far more than he ever expected. Starting a new portrait photography business even whilst your working, is a great second income.

Listen to what Christina has to say: “”I have been taking my childen’s portraits for over 8 years with extraordinary results, and I love it!

I was tired of hearing stories of other people’s bad experiences at the portrait studio, as I thought, ‘Why not take my daughter’s portraits myself?’ After experimentation, I learned how to create a mini-studio in my home with items I had around the house. I also used my digital camera that I already owned.

Living near wooded land made for a natural backdrop for taking her pictures outdoors. Many other locations around my community also became my studio.

It was then that I decided that I would never go to a portrait studio. I can do it myself and get outstanding results. My pictures turned out beautifully and my friends and family started raving about them and asked me how they could do it too.

Now, what I am going to tell you will blow you away. You, too, can take your children’s portraits at home and it will not cost a fortune. My eBook tells you exactly how to take their portraits, step-by-step.

It is filled with wonderful content such as audio from my own personal stories, and video explaining the various methods of taking your children’s portraits. Best of all, I have included over 100 of my personal photos of my children and my friend’s children.”
