Very hard, unless you know what the hell you are doing. Got to take professional pictures, have the correct camera and lighting equipment, professional looking website with examples of a variety of portraits (not just those only of one or two kids), and really, really need to have a knowledge of photography business and what to charge for you services.

It's not one of these professions where you get a DSLR and two months later want to start making money. You have to know your equipment inside and out, what the various S-stops and shutter speeds can do for you.

Takes years of training and experience to become successful in this business.
