photography home business

Home business photography.?
I want to start a home business about photography for fun and a little money additional. I have a Canon Rebel XTi and a 75-300 zoom lens with the lens that came with it. I am learning photoshop at the moment and have done some really cool improvements. I want to do only the location where my clients want me to go and do the shoot. I have already created Motherhood shoot set up to start a portfolio. Is there anything else I need to know before starting? As with the purchase of more equipment, etc. Do I need to get a business license for it or can I do without? And Im in Florida if that makes a difference. I also have a tripod.
ahhhhh, the Internet age. When an idiot with a digital camera and printer and 2 semesters at a community college is now a professional photog. Let me tell you what my master told me …. The good news is, yes, you can start your own business your home. The bad news is, you will be competing against me. Good luck, you'll need.
