Hello Mary,

I think you should give it a shot, what have you got to lose, except some time? (although I know, as a mother, you don't have much of that).

I would disagree with you and say you have a body of work. Go back and find the absolute best commissions you have done, and photograph them. If you can, also add a few other things, like a still life, or a landscape.

Resume? List your clients, when you've done work for them, and the cities they live in. Letters? contact 3 people you are comfortable asking from here, show some work and ask if they can write.

Better to try and fail than to not try at all...BUT, think POSITIVE! Best of luck.
