Certainly it does when it comes with an insurance package…
I just joined PPA – Professional Photographers of America. It’s an opportunity to get me more exposure to the business side of the business… as well as some good networking, education, and other discounts and such. Since the business is just begining to grow [after all, we’ve only done a couple of weddings and some church events so far] I felt it was time to make it official. Of course, I joined at the associate level which doesn’t put me in the referral database. I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet. I want to get through the rest of the year and all of the vacations/holidays coming up and then maybe we’ll start marketing and promoting the business.
I guess I’ll have to hire an accountant then… maybe even get some legal advice.
