Well most of the family portrait session at these stores are franchises which means you have to buy yourself into this and become self employed.

if you are looking to becoming a general practitioner and want to earn some good money do Weddings and School portraits. They give the most returns. Most of your money does not come from the initial pack but from re-orders., which weddings will give you with certainty.

Otherwise, drag your portfolio to Marketing companies who are looking for good staff photographers. General good basic salary to start with, but you have to have very good skill levels and a degree in photography would help

How about photojournalism, again take a course in photo journalsim and maybe also journalism as both skills are need these days.

To make good earnings in photography you must become in dependant/self-employed. This would mean hard marketing and initially get more no thank you’s…just keep going.

That is how many photographers start out, my dear.

So yes, you spent $$ on your camera. You spent time in front of your computer converting / burning the files onto the disks. So yes, yes, yes!

Unless of course you are doing it for someone who is dear to you (and someone whom you care about), for example, your best friend. It will be a nice “gift”. But you just simply can’t “give it all away” for free or people will be “using” you in time.

If your photos are exceptionally good, then $50 for now will be worth your skills and time, and surely it won’t kill them to do that.
