Depending on the type of photography you do, I would get in touch with event/wedding planners, schools, churches, etc. and offer your services for a discount in exchange for referrals. You can eliminate the discount later once your business is up and running.

I don't know what kind of Photography you do, but we have found may Photographers we have used at fairs, Craft fairs, wedding fairs that sort of thing. If you are really that gifted you should drum up some business by just going to these things and displaying your work.

I am a stay at home mom too. Have you heard of MonaVie? It is a natural health drink that is good for the whole family. I am helping others and meeting moms like you and making new friends. I have never had so much fun! I make my own schedule, my own goals, and making money! We have tasting parties every week. I would love for you to come and try this drink that kids love too!

Hi T.!

Try listing your services on Craig's list. That is where we found a great freelance photographer for our baby's photos. Try listing in several sections. Good luck!
