This is another reminder to do self portraits every now and then. This will help you relate to anyone you take pictures of which can only help make the session go more smoothly. Furthermore, it helps you practice poses from the perspective of the subject. This can only help you pose other subjects later. It is easier to tell someone how to get into a pose if you have been in the pose yourself already. Finally, it just makes for good practice.
Anyway, this is a short post because I am finishing up our business plan at the time of this post (and the time of these photos). If you lack a business plan, now is the time to working that out. Assume your competition has one, and if you don’t, they are going to be one step ahead of you at every point of the year.
