Wow...a second career

This past fall I was recruited by my mom to take my brother's senior pictures. Being in a small town, there is only one photo studio. They either had to book a sitting early in his junior year to get a time they wanted, or go someplace out of town so my mom decided that since I like taking pictures, and I'm pretty good at it (if I do say so myself) I could save them money by taking Spud's pictures myself and ordering prints online through Wal-Mart.

This worked out pretty well, and he got quite a few compliments on the pictures. I was pretty proud of the work I'd done and showed the pictures to some of my co-workers.

Monday one of those co-workers approached me and asked if I would be willing to take senior pictures for her daughter. After much discussion I agreed. I'm a tiny bit freaked out about it. Spud's pictures weren't any less important, but he wasn't paying me to take pictures. This time I'm getting money.

Momma L told me to come up with a price and let her know, and when I told her she actually laughed and told me she was definitely paying me more than that. So far I'm no good at the business part of it. Wish me luck!
