Hi Susan - hope the phone call helped?
G'day Susan
Like others, I have followed this thread with interest
I admire you for posting the question in the first place - to open one's self like this is a very brave thing to do
And also if I may add my 2-bob's worth ... the old saying "work smarter, not necessarily harder"
Your skills are/appear to be your photography & your organising (of events etc)
>> May I therefore suggest that you do the camera work, give 'em the CD and walk away from the job
>> Give them a standard pamphlet for commercial printing - both pro & retail and let them do what they want with your images
>> Tidy up your web site - on my laptop many colours & fine details are visually illegible - it doesn't help you get business
>> Keep smiling & keep trying
Hope this helps a bit
Regards, Phil
Of all the stuff in a busy photographers kitbag, the ability to see photographically is the most important

One thing i would like to point out is your wording for the portait packaging is gonna cut your throat, some familys consist of 5 or more, limiting your portraits to 4 people and if there are more will incure a fee will have people looking elsewhere.
speaking from a family of 5's point of veiw here . if i seen that on a photographers site i would go looking elsewhere
Canon 50d - 300d backup - 28/135mm IS usm - 50mm 1.8 - ettl flash - Assortmant of other stuff I hardly useI think a photography class should be a requirement in all educational programs because it makes you see the world rather than just look at it. ~Author Unknown
What a great thread... very informative... answered questions, I did not know I had.. .. even if I never set up a photography business which I had considered a possibilty for the future, I am more educated for reading this...and a big thanks to Susan for her post that started it.
I have this silly idea, that I should actually go and take photos with all this photography gear I have already accumulated, before I collect any more!
See some of my photos here.
