You can charge twice to four times as much as those portrait photographers who use lights and flash. Make some very nice prints of the natural window light photos for advertising and label them as "natural light". Charge at least twice as much for natural light as you do for artificial light. Put up some advertisements in gourmet supermarkets. Clear your calendar to be swamped with orders. You'll be overwhelmed. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
