new design and less services...

Working with a marketing agent to reword the site...

any thoughts and comments would be helpful!

I think you have too many packages to choose from on your rates. Simplify.

Why do you care how many times they change? Let them know that the more time in the dressing room, the less time in front of the camera.

It should be EVENTS, not EVENT'S. The Event doesn't own anything. Same with portraits.

Your fashion photos look like they were all done at a workshop.

It still looks like you are trying to be all things to all people. Specialize more and select your best pics - less pics from each shoot. A Fitness gallery with a bunch of pics of the same girl in the same outfit doesn't really demonstrate a mastery of fitness photography.

Random doesn't sound good when you are trying to convince people you are a professional. Lots of snapshots. Anyone can take fireworks pictures - it isn't special and no one is going to hire you to shoot fireworks. The pics out of a plane window are terrible unless it happens to be of the last shuttle or something. Get rid of that entire gallery and everything in it.



Your stuff has gotten a lot better and your website is a ton better than the old iWeb one. Good job. Keep up the improvement. Edit tighter. 10 GREAT pictures are a lot better than 10 GREAT with 20 mediocre. Only show your best. If it isn't the best, don't show it. Edit MUCH tighter for more impact.

Thanks Tom...

Would you recommend getting rid of all the galleries and doing just one or categorize them?

[Tom]

I would categorize them as far as your strengths go. What you are trying to really push? What are you really great at? Separate that and highlight it.

[Arcusmedia]

ok awesome thanks for the advice...

Church and boobs don't mix well.

[Arcusmedia]

Depends on which church :P I try to keep most of that seperate

[Arcusmedia]

Tom what 4 areas would you say that I am best in?

[texkam]

You and I may not care. Potential customers may see it differently. Re-think your event page.

Our Clients Range From House wives, Church’s, Gay Bars, Charities, Bikini companies

^^^ I would just not even go there.




My sister shoots Philly's Qfest. She's also shot stuff for a Catholic Boys School. Go figure.

I agree with every thing Tom said, but I want to reiterate the point about the sheer amount of photos. There are way, way too many photos in your galleries. Pick the best 10 for each subject.

I read in a photography book (or blog, can't remember) about keeping your "best" set at 10 (ish) photos, and over time you switch "better" photos into the 10, using a 1-in-1-out technique. In this way, your entire body of work will improve over time.

There are many spelling, and grammatical errors, just on the home page!
It's hard to project yourself as a pro, when you spell it: proffesional!!

Like Tom C said - much better, keep on improving. You'll get there!
