Hi Shyrell,
Congratulations on all you have accomplished. That's really great.
I'm unable to get into the site to see your studio. Could you check the
address you gave us, please and see if it's correct.
Thank you.
Marilyn

Hi Everyone,
Now that I finally have a digital camera and my home studio is finished
(all but extra backdrops), I'm ready to start having customers. Outside of
newspaper adds and discount coupons, how do all of you in business do your
advertising?
When you began your business, did you get business loans, grants, fund
your business all by yourself?
We converted our garage into a studio, no rental overhead. Pictures here:

Any and all advice on how to build a customer base is greatly welcomed.
Thanks...
