  1. How to Set up a School Photography Business

  2. Develop a website and get business cards printed Make sure your website showcases your best work as your website is your online shop store and often what school’s will first visit once you start talks with them. Make sure you have your business cards handy to give to parents as this can lead to family portrait work as well.

  3. Find a printing partner that you can trust Finding a printing partner that already has a workflow system that you can use is essential. Not only will they help you with obtaining a license, but they will also be printing and delivering the work which will help with organisation. They will cater to all your professional photo printing needs, whether you require large or small prints, scrapbooks, greeting cards, canvases, or frames.

  4. Decide How Many School’s You Want to work with You should not work with too many schools as you don’t want to be overloaded. Once you decide the number and have the contracts in place, make sure you diarise them and be organised in advance.

  5. Marketing The key to success in a photography business is marketing. You can’t get paid for photos if no one hires you. So, along with business cards, brochures and a website, use your personal and professional networks to spread the word about your business. Attend trade shows and events geared toward your market yearly and keep an up-to-date social media presence.

  6. Develop Your Business Plan You will need to know how many schools you need to work with and what pricing you need to charge if you are going to only work with schools as you need a sustainable business model that will make enough profit as a self-employed photographer. An accountant can help you with this. Make sure to think about the out-of-season months and what you can do to fill those gaps as you don’t want to be in a position where you’ve got no work booked in and no income.
