    Hi Robert,
    I have a series of questions. What type of paper do you use to print the pictures on? What website do you use to create your order forms? And what type of paper do you use for the order forms? Also, do you use Lightroom for all editing and to place on the order form?
    Best regards,
    Courtney

    Do you charge the school to come in do the images or you just make your profit through the packages

    Hi Robert, thank you for the videos. I'm wondering how do you keep track of the students you photograph? For example, do you have them fill out a index card? Take a mug shot before the real shots? Thanks
