If you’ve been around my site for a day, or even a year, you likely know that a few years ago I wrote a book, Say NO to Auto for beginner photographers and Get Focused for intermediate photographers that I sell right from my site (see sidebar). Did you also know that one of my most popular posts is, How to Start a Photography Business?!?  It’s high up on the google search, which is pretty exciting for me!

I’ve written lots of posts with other photo tips for the mom taking pictures of her kids, and even more about more info and details in starting a photography business. NOW, I’ve got a THIRD book with even more nitty gritty details, titled How to Start a Photography Business.  I’ve teamed with Amy Fraughton, who shares a lot of business lingo that even confuses me!!  Read on to learn more about it, and our intro sale!

cover pageWhen I started writing my posts about how to start a photography business,

I never dreamed they’d get such exposure!  Because I remember how challenging it was for me, I wanted to help other people avoid some of the same pitfalls.  It’s been really fun to see so many comments and help others figure out what to do to get started.  I didn’t have many guides or blog posts like these to help me and there were many times I made big mistakes and lots of little mistakes too.  But through it all, I’ve really loved learning photography and growing a business that I can work around my family.

A few months ago, Amy from Photo Business Tools reached out to me and asked if I would co-write a book on how to start a photography business.  Like me, Amy started her own photography business while balancing motherhood and life.  But she noticed so many people needed business advice, that she started a website just to help photographers get their businesses to the next level. 

My first thoughts when I read Amy’s email were, “this could be fun, I’ve wondered if I could crank out another book.” Together we went down the road, remembering what mistakes we made, what decisions were wrong turns, and what turned out well.

In the process, we also invited some of our friends share their advice in the book too.  It’s so fun having friends that are photographers because we can swap ideas, share in our successes and get through the frustrations that we sometimes have together.  These awesome 10 pro photographers all shared their own insights of what they found invaluable to building a photography business, and believe me, you will love what they had to say!  You might know some of our friends, we think they are fabulous!
