PROPERTY...

Real estate agents need photographs to promote their properties. Let the word out that you're available on call.

INSURANCE COMPANIES..

Insurance companies sometimes require documentation to reimburse policy holders for a loss. Insurance adjusters recommend a photographic inventory of all items covered by the policy. This is a big market.

FAMILY PORTRAITS...

Many families want to have a portrait done annually. This year you may suggest doing the photo at an activity that the whole family enjoy.

Photographing some of the school events like graduation and plays offer double opportunities for your photography business, the rehearsal as well as the actual event. Don't forget to make arrangements with the school before you shoot.
