Can You Really Start Your Own Photo Business From Home?

The short answer is yes, you can! I did it. Many other photographer’s have also successfully done it. There is no reason why you can’t do it, too! All you need is a love of photography, the talent to produce beautiful images, a little extra space and the right equipment.

An extra bedroom, a basement, or even a garage can be converted into a studio space. However, if you don’t have any of these, don’t be discouraged. Before I had an extra bedroom, I simply set up my photography equipment in my living room whenever I had a portrait session. It was a little more work, but it wasn’t too difficult.

In addition to your photography equipment (a digital SLR and photographic lights – check out www.alienbees.com), you are going to need a computer and some editing software. Photoshop is the industry standard.

The best part about working out of your home is that you can work only when you want to. When I first started out, I still had a “day job,” so I only did portrait sessions on the weekends.
