To clarify one point on the meals, you can only deduct meals if one of the following is true:
1. You are traveling away from home on business. (Traveling away from home means you are away overnight, outside of your "tax home" i.e. the general area in which you regularly live and work).
2. There is a business meeting (for example, with a customer, client, etc.) at the meal.
In other words, if you are conducting your regularly daily real estate photography business, around the areas you normally work in, and you stop and grab a sandwich that you eat by yourself, that is not a deductible business meal.
