Shooting kids athletics for sale to parents

I have seen guys shoot kids in athletics to sell to parents....I had a site were I could sell downloads, or prints to people. I was wondering if this type of business requires permission and what other problems does it intail ? .......Rich

You'll need a business license, seller's permit, and all that other great stuff to carry out business in California if you don't have one already. You may find that the spec work with youth sports is not worth the expenses and time to get everything set up.

I shoot my son's hockey team. I asked permission from all of the parents via email, promised not to use their kid's images to promote my site and use Zenfolio to sell. The Zenfolio galleries are password protected and I emailed the password to the parents. Hopefully I avoided any concerns that they had. I've had decent business, considering that there are only 20 kids on the team.

Good luck,
Jeff

I'm wondering what age the kids are? I've noticed here that the younger they are, the more that parents tend to buy the images.

I'm confused, why aren't people buying?

I feel like I might be selling myself short...

Don't you just hate exclusive contracts for high schools

Check with your city's Tax office. They may have wonderful things to share with you, or some horrific paperwork.

Good luck.
