Starting off as a freelance photographer.

[mowglette]

Hello All, I've just left the company i've been working for as a portrait photographer to be a full time Mum. I'm now going to become a part time freelance photographer too!! Any advice and tips for success! Whats the standard procedure? I have my own lights & backdrops but as yet no laptop.

I think setting up a website with examples of your work would be a must - there are loads of web designers around who can design and host quite cheaply. Also advertise in yellow/white pages. Get some cards printed - i use goodprint.co.uk.
Then hopefuly when people are aware you should get some commissions.
Good luck
