Help launch my freelance photo business

Photography has been my lifelong passion. Now I hope to use my growing portfolio and skills to establish a freelance photography business. I've put the framework of my business in place, but I am looking for support to really get going. Here's what I envision for the first phase:

Selling cards, prints, books and other items through my Etsy shop
and through brick-and-mortar specialty shops

Enable selling of my photos as stock images, through my Photoshelter website


Booking more custom jobs - portraits, celebrations, special events

Mount a gallery show (s)


To do these things, I need:

Equipment: A new computer with improved functionality, expanded storage and specialized photo-editing

Inventory: photo paper, cards and sleeves, supplies for matting

Marketing and web: hosting fee for improved website, annual fee for Photoshelter stock image site, fees for Etsy

Framing: photo framing for gallery show
