How to start a photography business.
The steps marked “Your AI team does this” are the ones SoGood builds from your brief. The rest are yours, and they come first.
01
Choose your specialty
Weddings, portraits, families, events, products and real estate each have different clients, hours and gear. Pick one or two to lead with so your portfolio and marketing speak to one kind of client.
02
Build a portfolio in that specialty
Clients want to see work like the job they're booking. If you're short on it, run a few shoots with friends or local businesses and choose your strongest images, not your most images.
03
Set packages and get covered
Offer a few clear packages with hours, number of edited images and delivery time. Use a written contract for every booking, register your business, and look into insurance for your gear and for liability.
04
Get a brand as polished as your photos
Your AI team does this
Your AI team suggests names, designs a logo and builds a brand kit that sits quietly behind your images instead of competing with them.
05
Launch a portfolio website

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to start a photography business?[ + ][ − ]
If you already own a camera and lenses, the main costs are editing software, backups, insurance and registration. Your website and marketing are the other big piece. SoGood is free to start. You upgrade to Pro only when you want the full website on your own domain and ads.
What photography niche should I start with?[ + ][ − ]
The one you already shoot well and enjoy. A focused niche makes your portfolio stronger and your marketing easier, because every image speaks to the same client. You can add a second specialty once bookings come in.
Do I need a website for my photography business?[ + ][ − ]
Yes. A portfolio site is where people decide whether to book you, and it's the one place you control how your work is shown. Your AI team builds it from your brief, along with the brand and launch posts.
Am I still in charge?[ + ][ − ]
Always. Your team checks in before anything ships. You say yes or no, and they take it from there.
How much does SoGood cost?[ + ][ − ]
Free to start, with enough to test an idea. Pro is $49/month when you're ready, with no long-term contract.
How fast can I launch?[ + ][ − ]
Fast, when you’ve answered enough for your team to build. Of the founders whose site went live, half were live within about 20 minutes of signing up and nine in ten inside a day. Payments and a custom domain need a few steps only you can do.
Can I cancel anytime?[ + ][ − ]
Yes. Plans are month-to-month. You keep everything that’s already shipped — your site, your assets, your data, your accounts.
Start free with your first business case and a draft landing page. Pro adds a full website on your own domain, a brand kit, SEO, payments, ad campaigns and 1,225 credits each month.
Credits cover AI usage; ad spend is billed separately.
