I have been playing with the idea of opening a photography business for a while now, but just haven't gotten all my ducks in a row. Things such as ideas for a business name, logo, brand, etc. all seem to change as time goes on. I have been waiting to advertise my services until I was completely set up and had made sure I had "dotted my I's and crossed my T's". However in casual conversation with a coworker, I had mentioned my goal of opening a photography business and she immediately said that she was wanting to get family portraits done and that she had been looking around and couldn't find someone they liked. She particularly was interested in having a large print to showcase in their living room. I was initially caught off guard, but ultimately agreed. Now, I am nervous that I won't be able to create images to their liking, and posibly hurt my local reputation even before I actually get up and running. Do you guys have an suggestions on how to help limit their expectations/create a more comfortable or relaxed workflow? I know a lot of this will just come from time and experience but in this case I feel like I'm short on both.
