I’m in the process of opening a small portrait studio. Please pray for my success. I have earned less than $9,000 from real estate in the past 16 months. Savings are nearly all gone.
Will do...as well, hoping that recessionary times don't keep potential customers away.

You better open it this weekend because you only have a few weeks to cash in on the Christmas rush for portraits. After that you won’t have much business at all.
Best of luck to you! We send prayers and all best wishes for your success.
Even in down times people want to record major life events. Parents of newborns are especially good potential customers. Check with local hospitals, read birth listings in newspapers... send the parents a congratultory note and enclose your business card. Keep records of birth date, send follow-on birthday cards.
Also, get friendly with clergy and houses of worship personnel who could recommend engagement/wedding photos. Wedding planners could give good referrals, too.
You will be in my prayers as you open your new studio. My best to you.
Good luck, FRiend.
This Atlas is shrugging, too...
another potential client base is church sports teams (upward etc) and dance studios. I usually spend about $100 a year on pictures from these activities. If the packages are at a good cost, most families buy (usually I pay about 20 -25 bucks for a set...a 5x7 and a few wallets plus a team shot). Praying you are successful!
