I think its ok to have the large amount of images, however the card at the moment says to me that you are exclusively a portrait photographer... if this is correct then thats ok. If you plan on doing some wedding, product, property or any other type of commercial photography then you will need to include some examples.
As far as the type... you need to raise the email and number a little higher, away from the images... at an equal distance to how your title is below the top images.
I would also change the typeface from the one you use in your title to something more simple, and use lowercase lettering.
I disagree -
You need to show that you specialize in something. For example, I may "specialize" in infant portraiture, but I also do weddings, seniors, families, commercial, graphic design, marketing . . . .
"specializing" in something gives me a starting point. Because I specialize in infants, I put pictures of infants on my business cards, mailers, etc. If you do a quality job with your specialty - and mention in smaller type, that you also do families, senior . . . . the potential client will see you have talent in photography and use you for their other needs as well!
Just a thought - from someone with a little bit of marketing experience
Its fine to have your opinion and i see what your saying, however in my experience (which is graphic design and marketing) you should never put yourself in a small niche market if your idea is to try and get as much business as you can from your promotional cards.
As much as its nice to say you specialize in something, if you were giving these out at a trade show for example, the public WILL assume you 'only do' the advertised type of work. They wont stop to ask questions, they will just move on to the next guy who 'can'.
If you want to make a feature out of a certain style you offer then fine, i would say go for it... but always show what you have to offer, you don't want anyone to assume you can't cater for thier needs.
