I am currently an upcoming Junior (3rd year) in high school, and I think that I have made my decision to pursue a career in photography. Next year I will be taking film and digital photography classes offered at my high school. Ultimately, I just want to know what should I do after that? What classes should I be taking? And what steps do I need to take in order to become successful in what I want to do?
Honestly, I do not want to become a "big shot" photographer. My dream--I guess you could say--is to work in lifestyle portraiture (weddings, engagements, new borns, families, etc.) I want to capture life as it is, not posed.
There is a local photographer here (working around the Emerald Coast) where Iive that has inspired me, and his shots are just breath taking. Like him and his wife, I want to be able to connect with my clients from their engagements to their newborns and to their family portraits. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to talk to him and find out his experience?
I have also heard of the low annual income that this job would bring. Is this true?
Please share your thoughts and experiences!

P.S. I was not sure whether to include this in the career section of the business category or here.
Vanessa,
Definitely talk to that local photographer you mentioned. It's a tough field in which to be successful, so you need to arm yourself with as much information and insight as possible. As as matter of fact, talk with every photographer you can. Bug everyone, spare no one.
As for education, many, if not most, working photographers have a college degree or technical school degree/certificate (though not necessarily in photography). When working in the arts, talent is crucial, but it's nothing without a complete understanding of the technical aspects.
All that said, THE most important trait you need to have at the beginning stage is commitment. I've seen many, many young photographers who don't have the drive or ambition to practice their craft on a regular basis, thus are not able to grow as artists and ending up having to find another line of work. One particular aspiring photographer is a dog catcher....seriously. So, practice, practice, practice!
Good luck!
Currently, my company is called Patrice Studio Images (PSImages). However, i need a better branding/marketing name. I do professional photography, specializing in weddings, maternity, newborn, family, fashion, etc.
So while I love Three peas in a pod or Everafter Photography, I don't want my name to be targeted to only one of the types I shoot. Ideas??
If you are local and you name my company, I'll do a free photoshoot of your choice.
There isn't anything wrong with my current name and i'm still opporating under it. I just wanted something a little more catchy and with pazazz!
The trend nowadays when in terms of branding is to get a name that is not that associated with the service at aLL.
It is a strategy to move away from the clutter and create a distinction among competitors.
For instance:
McDonalds name doesn't connotes food or service at all
Macys is just a single name but it created a lot of buzz.
I suggest that you name your company
LAMP POST
It exudes mystery, and if your going to visualize it- it is so photographic in nature.
or FLASHBOX
if you really want to create a little connection with the name or service
*And YOU know what??
I created your new logo for free.
You can check it and have it printed or used as a billboard.
I'm giving you full authority to use it. All i want is just a little acknowledgement in your own little ways (like in brochure example: Company logo and design by....)
Check the logo and name at
