It’s really simple, fun and easy to make money in a flash by simply using your digital camera and a few simple props to create and sell absolutely irresistible and adorable pet portraits!

The way to not become a highly paid portrait photographer is to follow advice from people who are ready to tell you that it can’t be done because they themselves haven’t done it therefore neither can you.

On a internet discussion forum someone asked if it's possible for a new photographer to make $500 per day photographing people and pets.

Here’s the first response from a dream killer who obviously doesn’t know what she was talking about and has no idea of how to find paying customers without resorting to buying expensive advertising…

“Photography is exceedingly expensive just as a hobby - the equipment and overhead cost of pro equipment is thru-the-roof. Even without a studio or proper equipment you need PAYING CUSTOMERS. A small 1'x1' ad in small magazines/newspapers is $100. Professional photofinishing would be a must and it's not the price range of Wal-Mart and Costco. Developing equipment is thousands. If you are an aspiring shutterbug, I would suggest you freelance. Get out there and take some great pictures and sell them to newspapers and magazines. Keep your money in your jeans for now - buy some filters or lenses for the camera you already have. Good Luck!”

I'm sorry but this is like telling a French Chef that he or she needs to forget about using their old fashion cast iron cookware and start buying better pots to become a good cook.

If you can't get good results shooting with one light and a 35mm film or digital camera you can waste all the money you want on extra filters, lights and lenses and you will end up going broke before you ever make your first dime.

Photography is now cheaper than ever before. A Canon rebel film camera is under $300 and the digital rebel is under $800. 4X6 inch prints cost under .30/cents each and 8x12 prints are under $6 each. You can shoot a one hour family portrait session and burn the images onto a CD for about .50/cents and sell the CD copyrights for $500.00 There's not many other service type businesses where someone could invest under a thousand dollars in the tools of the trade and expect to earn a six figure income working part time hours.

So why take advice from a starving artist or any well intention friends who have never owned nor operated a successful photo studio who tell you it simply can’t be done unless you invest many thousands into all the latest equipment and spend years practicing before you dare try to sell your skills as a portrait photographer?

Why listen to those who advise you to wait until everything is picture perfect? Get started shooting and selling right away or just be another dreamer instead of a doer. As far as being a freelance photographer goes... I wouldn't want to compete in that market against the worlds top photographers. I'd rather tap into the easy, simple and highly profitable portrait market and start making Cash in a Flash! Wouldn’t you?
