I have developed my hobby into a small business too. it will take lots of energy for it to become financially profitable. I would write up a business plan. Having the equipment off course is the main purchase. Having GOOD equipment too is a must. If you sell a product, the product has to be worthy of selling. You can only leave a first impression ONCE. If you disappoint a customer, they will not come back for repeat business. You need a marketign plan too, a sign in the window stating you do portrait photography will not suffice.<br>
This site has excellent links and wonderful photographers that are all willign to help you. Seek out some photographers that resemble your style, or a style you like to create or produce....and start askign them questions. Asking a person that loves to photograph cows, clouds or architecture will likely not guide you in the right direction, asking a person that also produces portrait photography very likely will able to help you and and communicate with you about his or her passion.<br>
