Talking I Started a Portrait Business in 2009
...and as I spent a LOT of time reading the DPS forums before working up the nerve to do so;
...and as I have never shared any of my photos before

Here are a few of the pictures I took!











It was hard to pick four. Anyway thanks for unwittingly helping me out.

Congrats! I love the first photo, Is it a composite? It looks surreal. I hope to start a portrait business myself one day when I get more expirence under my belt.

It is indeed. The original shot looks *almost* exactly like that, but I liked the gradient shadow on the right side of the fence so much that I copied it to the left side for drama.

Great lifestyle images. I love the one with the lady beside the wall, great idea and a nice texture to that shot.

Best of luck to your new buisness
