Coming Soon......

After many, many emails from new photographers, I have decided to expand Foundations a bit. Therefore, Business Basics for Photographers will be opening soon! BBP will be a complete program to help new photographers get into the business of photography. Not only will you be able to learn the basics of photography, how to WOW your clients, but you will learn how to open, manage and market your business.

There will be three main areas of the program to start with:

Step 1: Learning Photography
Step 2: Starting a Photography Business
Step 3: Marketing your Photography Business

Step 1 has not changed from the extremely popular Foundations program. This program will help you capture amazing images that your clients have to purchase! You will learn how to compose an image and use your camera in manual mode, plus TONS more.

With Step 2 you will learn all the steps needed to start a photography business. There are many programs like this out there, however, most of them seem to lack in substance. Many programs do not explain how to legally become a business. It's not just about taking photos and selling them. This will help you get everything right (and legal) from the start.

Finally, with Step 3 you will learn how to successfully market your new photography business. What is the point in being open for business if you don't have clients? With this program you will learn how successful professional photographers market their business and fill their schedules with clients.

The best part is that you can purchase each program separately or together. The choice is yours! A HUGE and AWESOME vendor list is included with each program! No more searching for hours on end to find the best proofing solution or template designer. It's all in there! Also, I will be adding a child posing guide later on!!

Each program will be $125 on their own OR you can get "The Whole Picture" for $300, which includes ALL three programs PLUS my popular action set! That's a $410 Value!!

These programs will be debuting soon! Keep checking the blog for more info and introductory rates! Or email at businessbasicsphoto(at)yahoo.com (change the (at) to @).

Partial Program Options

Now that Christmas is over I have decided to update the Partial Program options. You can either purchase the program with or without my popular Action set. With the action set the price is $150 and without the action set it's only $125. To join, all you need to do is click on the appropriate button to the left of the screen {<---- over there :o)} and follow the directions. The lesson information will be emailed to you within 48 hours (usually sooner). You can also purchase the Action set separately for $35.

The Partial Program is a great way to learn the basics. You still get the same lessons and assignments that was offered with the full program (which I am not offering at the moment due to time constraints and personal reasons). I will continue to offer this deal until further notice (you never know when I will change it - I'm crazy that way). Take as long as you need to complete the lessons!

Here is what is covered in the Partial Program:

I have extended the September Special due to such a high demand! Thanks to everyone that has signed up already! The special will be good through November and maybe longer. It's a great deal so don't pass it up!

September Special

For this month I am offering the partial program and my action set for $125. You can also get 10% off both template sets if you purchase them at the time of signing up. So instead of getting them for $55 you will get them for $49.50. So you can get the partial program, my action set, and both Storyboard and Christmas Card template sets for $174.50. That's a savings of OVER $85! Templates examples are in the previous blog post.

Yes, I'm a slacker....

There has been soooooo much going on behind the scenes lately and I've had to take some time off. I am slowly getting back in the swing of things, however. I'm trying to return all the emails that have been sent. So hang with me, I'll get caught up as soon as possible. :o)

In the mean time I thought I would share the templates I designed back in June. These are all easy to use PSD files, created in PSCS2. Full instructions come with each set. If you have any questions on them please email me at byerleyphotography @ yahoo.com (remove spaces) and let me know.

The Storyboard Collection:

The great thing about this collection is that each template comes with a matching 5x7 of the same design! Therefore your clients can purchase cards that match their storyboards! How cool is that! Included in the set are 10 full size templates and 10 5x7 card templates for $30!



To see each template larger please visit my site at http://www.vickibyerleyphotography.com/, enter the main site, click on the Clients tab and enter the password Templates.



The Christmas Collection:


I really like this set, if I do say so myself. :o) Included in the set is 10 easy to use psd files for $25!

To see each template larger please visit my site at www.vickibyerleyphotography.com enter the main site, click on the Clients tab and enter the password Christmas.
