Short answer: Tax Id Nys: in New York, what most people call a wholesale license is the Certificate of Authority. With it, and a Resale Certificate (Form ST-120) for your suppliers, a photography business can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
New York calls its seller's permit the Certificate of Authority. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Resale Certificate (Form ST-120). New York treats sellers of tangible goods as vendors who must register, and a buyer needs a Certificate of Authority to issue Form ST-120. A New York Certificate of Authority must be displayed at the business, and buyers list its number on the ST-120 resale certificate. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.

A photographer who sells prints, albums or other physical products generally needs the Seller's Permit, since those sales are taxable goods. Photo services alone are treated differently, so tell us what you plan to deliver. Choose the business name carefully; if it's different from an LLC's exact name, a DBA is needed. We can set up the entity and the EIN.
Short answer: Obtain License For A Photography Business: for a photography business in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, the core set is a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.
The Wisconsin version of the seller's permit is the Seller's Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form S-211 Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate. Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. Wisconsin is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its S-211 form covers resale purchases. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.
