I finally did it!

Denise:

Congratulations... this decision has been a long time coming.

Having people pick the shots they want to purchase off your web site seems reasonable, and having them professionally printed is a good way to start.

This was a hard decision for you to make, and I think you made the right decision. Now that you have chosen to go forward, please keep in mind that in front of your clients you need to project confidence (and you have every reason to). If you do , then they will have reason to have confidence in you, and are likely to buy more.

Good luck.

Thanks, Pat! I hear what you are saying and I will most definitely work on the confidence issue. Also, anytime before a shoot I will study other online photos for ideas on locations, poses, etc. so I'm not stumbling over ideas when I get there.

I am hoping that with my lower rates, families that are tight for cash in this economy will at least call for less expensive senior portraits to start with. We will see!

I also ask my customers if they have any ideas in mind. I have had customers bring a magazine to show me someting they like. Now days they pull their phone out and show me Pintrist photos.
I have created a facebook page for my business seporate from my personal page. When I shoot seniors I post a few of their photos on my facebook and tag them. When I do that all their friends see them. Instant advertising. It is awsome
