Looking for simple grass roots ways to promote my small photography business. Would like to do some type of event where they could bring their children, family, pets, etc. to be photographed. Any other promotion ideas? Any good experiences?

A couple of ideas - (1) Get hold of the local Humane Society and see if they would be interested in doing some sort of fund raiser where people could come and have their pictures taken with their pets for a small donation to the Humane Society (from which you would get a cut or just do it for publicity and hand out your card).

(2) I know a guy who did a cool thing just as a hobby and ended up with a second business. Go to your local Little League or Soccer or Football games and take action shots of the kids and hand out your card with the information of where the parents can see the pictures. This guy set up a website where the parents can log on and see the pictures and then can order some if they want to. He has it protected from anyone being able to just print the pictures from there (I don't know how you do that but it is worth checking into). Anyway, parents love to see pictures of their star athletes in action and will order copies to send to grandparents, etc. He has even been hired now by different teams to do team pictures and/or to take pictures of certain games. It has turned out great for him.

My Husband, daughter, and I want to get family photos done. Also Solitaire photos of our 4 month old daughter.
I know of Kiddie Kandids at Babies R us, not sure if they do family photos though.
And Sears does photography too.

I just want to get the most for my money.

Also I live in the USA.

Any Ideas?

the picture me studio in walmarts are pretty cheap, they have a package going now that is $5.99, you get 8x10, 2 5x7, 4 - 3 1/2x5, 8 wallets, and 16 keepsakes. its pretty cheap, sears portrait studios sometimes runs offers like that too.

I have a few years experience in photography and was asked by my boss to take her family Christmas photos at the beach. I was planning on shooting a couple of rolls (yes I shoot film) and giving her all proofs in 4x6 prints. I use a Canon Elan and will use professional film and a professional lab. I usually just charge my friends for processing, but would like to make a little $$ this time:)

Are you ready to be your own boss? Then remember he knows you are not a pro yet, so why should he pay you like you are? Think of this as a friendly shoot. My thought would be to charge him for all the lab work + $50. Be fair you will still have to work for him until you turn pro.
