I am not really a professional (and by that I mean I do not have my business set up yet). I am trying to get into weddings and do the occasional family portraits where I can. However, business is starting to come in faster than I ever imagined it could, and now I am scrambling just to come up with pricing for my potential clients (this mostly pertains to on location portraits). I wanted to know a good approach to this. How do you (or did you) figure out how to price your services when you first went into business?
Also, it couldnt hurt to ask the additional question- what is the first step to getting my business started? Should I first register my trade name with the secretary of state?
This is all new to me and I did not really anticipate the interest there is for my services. Thank you all very much in advance for any advice you can give (there are so many great people here on TPF). :thumbup:
