opening my own photograhy studio?

hi my name is Linda
my dream would be to open my own photography studio.
i love taking pictures. i always carry my camera with me. my son is my inspiration and there is not one inch of wall space uncovered with a photo.
i know some people think im nuts for shooting a million at their baby shower or wedding until they see their photo album or a dvd slide show.
theres olny one problem i dont know where to start.
do i need a degree/certificate? or just some classes and experience? props to buy etc….
how much to charge??
i would appreciate some feedback
thanks for reading
Linda

There are others on here that could answer better than I, but before you even start, ask yourself a few questions:

1) Do I have the capital necessary to open a studio… I would guess that you would need $25k to $50k, just to rent the premises, stock the supplies and merchandise, advertise the shop, and many other things that I can’t think of right now. Don’t forget that you have to have something to live on / pay yourself (unless you have other means of support).

2) Are you ready to work 12, 14 or 16 hours a day for the first few years to launch the business?

3) 90% of all studios fail (for many reasons, but most often due to lack of business experience). Are you ready to take that kind of risk?

Good Luck whatever you do….
