one of my co-workers liked the shots I took from the company party and asked me to shoot her husbands 50th b-day party. :barb I said sure I woudl be interested. Then she asked me what I charged and stuttered and stammered and told her "uhh..I will get back to on that!" Took me by surprise! A few e-mail exchanges later and I think we are set.

I suppose it is time to get business cards, contracts, pricing, etc more formalized so I don't look like such a noob.:scratch

    Don't forget
    Don't forget the insurance and make sure you register for a sales tax/re-seler's permit; If you are not using your own name, make sure you file a DBA/Fictious Business Name and get a business license too.

    Your local chamber of commerce or your accountant can help with those things.

    Congratulations.
