Question by suushi: How can I start my own photography company?

I'm 16 and I want to start my own little photography company (I guess I can call it that?)
Some people around school want me to take their pictures, but I don't know how much I should charge or do what.
I want to make some cash, because I don't work, and I honestly don't want to work at the mall or at some restaurant.

I have taken photography classes, I am good at it, but I have NO idea where to start at, please help me out here.

Check around in your area to see what other photographers are charging for what services they are offering.

Since you'll likely be taking more casual shots of fellow students and not using a formal "studio", etc. just charge them a reduce value to those going rates by the pros.

Have fun ~ I ran a dark room for years and loved it.
