any photographers on here? I have a few questions!!

I really want to start my own photography business...but I don’t know much about photography or cameras tbh.

I absolutely have loved taking photos since I was a little girl and now that I have a one year, I really want to be able to learn so that I can capture all of those special moments for myself and others!

I’m thinking a newborn/family photographer (both indoor and outdoor). But will start off practicing on my son!

What camera would you recommend?

What lens would you recommend?

I naturally am fairly shy (in big groups of people), do you think this would be a problem for me?

Any tips?

How long did it take you to get good?
