A fair call?

wow, to me, the people you would be taking photos of , are the most paying customers, they are just paying with tears, and heartache instead of money .
No offence to your DH , but often the best things we do in life are the ones we do for no recognition and no reward except to see the smile on someones face .
I think you know that too , which is why I think you should talk to him again, and do it , its your business , and it seems you really want to do this, (which is a great idea btw)
Its so worth it, things like this , DH and I made my friend's mum a beautiful collage of my (dead) friend, the look on her face when she opened it up was worth the hours I'd spent ordering DH to put this pic and this pic on whilst I watched TV

I agree with the others, this takes no time away from your familly or finances and gives so much to another family. I think it is a great idea (and would surely help your photography business as well).

You should totally do it! It will give you fantastic experience as well - you are after all just starting your business so what better way to promote it than charity - I think its an awesome idea!

Im with Kate - what about all the hours and hours he spent working for free at the bike shop!

Least this is going to take you some where and help grow your business.

The BEST form of advertising for any company is word of mouth (good word of mouth that is haha) and the exposure would be awesome!

Do it, you know you want to and you know it would be great for you and for your new venture.

Will you put the photos onto CD for them? Or actually print some?

kaiz231 Anyhoo, I signed up Don't even know if they would accept me I think you have to be pretty professional and have a well established business.. but even if I don't perhaps I could do a fundraiser for Aria or something to keep me feeling good [/QUOTE wrote: Good for you hope something comes of it, what a wonderful thing to do.

Good on you!!! I would have just signed up anyway... And I also don't "ask" my husband before I do things, I am an adult after all!

He said 'no'?? for shame. Good for you doing something to help others and also make your self feel good. Fair enough he doesn't want you taken advantage of but he's hardly protecting you by making you feel bad, or that you can't do what you want to do.
