As a Photographer, I would like Clients and Potential Clients to register to the website

As a Photographer, I would like to collect the following information from the client

• First Name
• Last Name
• Gender
• Email Address (Should be validated)
• Postal Address
• Phone Number
• Mobile Number
• Date of Birth
• Anniversary Date
• How did they find us?

I would like to able to capture the following in addition to the above which should not be visible to client

• Customer Since
• List of Galleries
• Number of Orders placed
• Notes

My suggestion here to have a "User" entity. Then, we can have other entities that will inherit from the this entity:

• Photographer
• Client

What would be the different between Client and Potential Client? My suggestion is to have only a Client entity.

A Client can then have potentially orders etc. which would make them a paying client. Just like on Amazon - you can register with them but do not really need to do any transaction at all.

As a photographer I will have a different strategy for Existing vs Potential customers. Also identified a new type I.e Guests invited to view by existing customers.
