I am finally taking the steps to order business cards and set up a website for my photography.
I am also in the process of creating a pamphlet with pricing and packages.
I have had much interest lately in my photography,
but when people ask for my prices, I have no idea what to tell them...
So, what do you think of my potential business card and company name???
Zia means Aunt in Sicilian.
(Don't try the web page - it isn't created yet. I am planning to have Karise help me with that.)

oh joc, that looks really pretty. if you want to look at the pricing that we were giving with our photographer i could probably dig it up for you... if i have it still. at least that would give you an idea... but i don't know if i would start out too pricey til your business gets a little more stableized.

it was so funn to stop in and see you guys at work today.

we miss you,

love,

Yeah, I def. do NOT charge as much as professionals. Some people think I don't charge enough, but as I get better and have more experience, my prices will rise. I have gotten advice from TC already on what to charge for my "range".

It was fun seeing you and all the kids yesterday!

The card looks great! The colors are beautiful. Will you do them glossy? (That's what I would recommend)

Hey ZIA! :)
i think it looks nice. Have you thought about using your actual photos for your page? That attracts me to photgraphers.
I am making porchetta for dinner - i had a mama pagano craving! hope it tastes close!!

Wow! I think this is the most comments I have ever received! Thanks.

I am doing a matte finish on my cards. I think I prefer that look and it was cheaper :)

Shy, the picture on the business cards is mine. I took it at a conservatory in St. Paul. Since I have a range of services I would offer, I didn't want to make it child, wedding or portrait specific. Yummm...porketta (or however you spell it). We can't really find it here... Mom has made it a few times though.

Thank you Heather for the encouragement. I am meeting with a girl this Wed. on possibly photographing her wedding in October!

Jen,

I wondered why there were so many comments from you :) LOL! My website is up and running - it is www.ziasphotography.com. I am still working on it, but the basics are there.
