becoming a photographer?

i love taking pictures of my daughter. i do the holiday pictures myself with my digital camera and then take it to walmart to have the different sizes printed out. it is cheaper and more fun than going to a studio.

i want to start a photography business where i do just that. and also go to weddings and baby showers, ect. and create albums and stuff witht he photos. i have a program on my laptop that lets me add background pictures and frames and it comes out oerfectly at walmart. any idea how i ca get started? i wouldnt have a studio to start, just my home and go to other people’s homes. my prices would be cheaper than most studios.
i am willing to go to school for this but was wondering how i can get started beforehand. i have a good talent for taking pictures and making memories last using pictures. i dont have a lot of money to get started, but have a few family memebers who may be willing to help if it seems like a good thing to get started.

Enlarging Pictures?

I have taken some pictures using a 5.0 digital camera. I want to enlarge and frame some of them.

How big can I enlarge them without losing picture quality. I would like to make them as large as possible.

Also, where can I so they look professional? I would think that Kinkos and places like that would not have the high resolution I am looking for.

Well my girlfriend is getting a digital camera for Christmas from her mum and i was going to get her a digital photo frame to put pics of us in it so they get set on a slide show…but i don’t know whether the camera her mum is buying her is compatible with digital photo frames!

So are most modern digital cameras compatible with digital frames?
