An acquaintance of mine asked me if I ever do photos as a side biz, and approached me to see if I would be willing to take pics of her family. It makes me extremely nervous because I'm really only able to take pics of my kid because he is so loosey goosey and I can take about 1,000 at a time. Working with someone else makes me anxious, I don't know if I would be good at breaking the ice to make the people feel comfortable, nor would I have unlimited time to get a good shot.
I don't think I would ever consider taking photos as a size biz. I feel like the market is too saturated, and I don't think there is much money in it once you consider how much gear you'd have to buy to compete with other more accomplished photogs. Plus I just don't think I am that good with a camera. I can take photos and get 1 great one, but I get 500 crap ones.
I told her I would consider it if she didn't find anyone else but I wouldn't charge her and I also directed her to a cousin of mine who does this for a living and is really good at her job! But now I'm wondering if I should have taken advantage of her offer and not been so down on myself.
