Business Description
VISUAL IMAGE combines the advantages of high mark-up photography with the low overhead of home-based business. Because we do all our photography on location, you save the high cost of retail space and the confinement of retail hours! We go to pre-schools and pet shops and take portraits for busy, working parents. Because we do studio-quality portraiture, preschools love our work and invite us back season after season. Creative, fulfilling work, financial and physical rewards.
