Me and my boyfriend are starting a photography business in the DFW area. We are mainly going to market to local businesses at first to get our pictures displayed (for free) and then hopefully people will start seeing our products and want to purchase for their homes, offices, etc. I was just looking for any suggestions, advice or any helpful information that we could use. We are still in the planning stages, but hope to be up and running in a few months. Thanks for all your help!
