Just me... I'm not crazy about the colors. Maybe a bit more tan towards a earth tone would be nicer. I like the layout.

Ok one more.... any way you can make the pictures your viewing a bit larger? They were a little on the small side for me.

Bigger pictures would help. I found the noises annoying.

1. When you have a LOT of text, find ways to subdivide it using bullets and Headings. I speak in particular of the "About" page. ON this page, it's wriiten in paragraph form as though you are telling a story-- when in fact you are not. This page would be much simpler to get through if you bulleted or simplified the text.

2. Contact page-- can you make the e-mail and website hotlinks so that it makes it easier for people to contact you?

3. Gallery: annoying sound... after three pics it made me really not want to look anymore. the sound distracts me from looking at your work :) The swooshing is annoying, but holy cow that beeping (when you mouse over the thumbnails) is maddening.

I quite like the look of the site and the colors you've chosen. The terra cotta color contrasts nicely with many of the blues/denims you have in your portraits. I just wish the top bar were not there... do I need to see your name twice in the same frame?

Also, please pick one font and stick with it! The font on the about page is good, the font on the contact and client entry page is kind of small.

The PRICING link is broken. And personally, I don't like all the size changes on every different page. I prefer that the frame size stay the same... but that's just my opinion.

Site was a little slow to load. My monitor is set at 1024 x 768 and the links were not visible at the bottom...maybe put them on the top or bring them up a little? Gallery images too small, some in wrong areas or duplicated.
