- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Hey guys =)
I really took the plunge! I have fallen so much in love with photography, everything about it, that I jumped in with both feet and made the decision to join the *LEGIONS* of photographers in my area
I still have so much to learn -which is part of why I love this so much! But right now I'm in that period where I pretty much have to wait for my first paying client... and it's killing me! Not that I mind waiting, it gives me time to keep practicing and reading up on ways to make my pictures better. But I'm the kind of person who gets antsy, I feel like I NEED to be *doing* something in the mean time. So... my eyes keep turning to my website. I keep obsessively compulsively changing and knit picking everything about it, even though my husband insists it's fine as it is now.
Today, I'm especially feeling like I should be working on it more, and am considering completely re-vamping it from the drawing board!
Part of it is nervousness, part of it is perfectionism, and part of it is just my personality lol... But I thought maybe if I dropped by here you guys could offer some experience or piece of mind?
If it's not too much trouble, I'd really appreciate if anybody had a chance to stop by my website and offer C&C, either on the layout, my choice of portfolio images, pricing, colors, fonts, whatever comes to mind! (Because at this point I'm very close to just redoing every bit of it:blushing
The one thing I do think I want to work on for sure with the website, is adding a better section about session information. I want to divide it into "Newborn Sessions, Family and Portrait Sessions, Events/Parties, and Maternity Sessions. ...( Eventually working towards offering wedding packages some day.) But for now, before I've even had a single paying customer, does what I have work?
In the mean time, I've got my buisiness cards, am trying to hand them out at every opportunity. I even approached a lady in the grocery store who had a newborn baby girl and asked if she'd had pictures done yet! LOL. She asked for my web address and I gave it to her, but haven't heard back... So maybe that's why I kind of wonder if my website needs work?
I also have a good friend who's husband has been a wedding DJ for years, and I've done several shoots for her family now. Her husband offered to take several of my buisiness cards and spread the word to people looking for a photographer that they recommend me
*sigh* maybe I just needed to vent =P If so, thanks for listening everyone. If you get a chance to stop by the website please let me know anything you would change/add. Thanks so much!!!
