Photography Business Startup

Hi, I'm currently a student at Penn State University and I've been wanting to start a small photography business on the side to help pay for my degree! I'd be open for many types of photo shoots including but not limited to High school senior pictures, weddings, birthdays, holidays, and private events. I'm trying to raise funds to purchase a Nikon D5600 DSLR Camera. Thank you so much for your help!!!
