Finding it difficult to navigate the site though. What do you suggest I search for that can be most helpful and beneficial to a new business owner?

There are several webinaires to get started. Workshops PPAedu
Also, look to see if there is a local affiliate to join as well. It's one thing to read and watch videos. It's another to actually talk and practice with other photographers.

Ah, thank you!

I'm trying to start my own business in dog portrait photography, and I don't see how PPA will help. I went to a local seminar of PPA, and it is really about becoming elite photographer. If you are rich, have a lot of skills, and a lot of resources, then that's maybe right for you. In addition, they had photo competitions, and the judges scored very harsh. The photos have lavish background, and they had put a lot of money and effort to these. If I submitted a dog portrait, I just made myself looked bad and degrading.

Just curious, who do others say about your portfolio, beside your friends and family?

They love my work and I feel very lucky that they're being so kind because I know I have a lot to learn. I am currently in the process of working on my portfolio.

A friend of mine shows me this, and is a friend of her.

She's very good. I hope to get better at it down the road as well and be able to open up a studio.

Just a suggestion, but I think you mean you are in the process of developing a starting portfolio.

Every pro out there is constantly in the process of "working on their portfolio." The competition never stops, and neither can you.
