March 2009,
We decided to go with Smugmug for our photography business web site ( www.hdelitephotography.com ). We contract to have the initial web layout modified for our needs. Now starts the process of populating it with photos and getting it customized.

The search for a studio location is on. It is not an easy task in our small community. Trying to find a good building with high ceilings, sufficient space, a good location at a decent monthly rent is challenging. We have looked at several building so far, and a couple have possibilities.

There is a lot of paperwork involved in getting the studio started. Contracts have to be drawn up, price lists for services have to be produced, model release forms completed and much more. Fortunately there is a wealth of information for these things on the Internet and from books. I have been doing a lot of reading and typing.

I have started taking a few photos which I will share. Nothing too fancy yet, still getting familiar with the new equipment.
