Hi Gloria,
The site is well made. Colors are nice, and it is easy to get around. Now remember this is out of a sincere wish for you to do well. Your image choice for the front page is too safe. The images seem a bit conservative. I believe... ( my opinion anyway) that your strength lies in the reception photos at the end of your events section. The red background with the dancing has real impact. Impact is what you are looking for. Also, some of your black and white photojournalism style pictures show true beauty and emotion. (Last two on event page) I know for the front page you are trying to show diversity and flexibility, but what you may want to try is impact and emotion. The one with the gentlemen in the bright sun looking like gangsters and the woman standing in the door looking defiant are fun.

In pets, the Boston terrier has eyes to die for. The woman with dog next to her cheek is very powerful as well. Also the woman with the fur coat is great, but maybe add a vignette to draw in the eye more. The dog with the purple bone looking straight on is great.

In the people section the kiss on the cheek is amazing and the familys sitting on the grass are classic and colorful. The baby shoes on the belly is awesome.

Anyway, I hope this helps. Everyone has an opinion. All my best to you!

Stuart,

Thanks you so much for taking the time to see it all, sometimes we need a extra set of eye to mave things around a bit, I am really thinking of getting some images out of the galleries.
Thanks again all the comments will be consider.

I 100% agree with Stuart that you have chosen very conservative, safe images on your home page. I really think that your wedding work especially would be better represented by putting one of your pj shots there. There are so many great ones to choose from, but I have to say, the one that made me gasp was the groom dipping the bride - blurred. LOVE that shot. I also think that your event gallery image could be changed... I understand wanting to keep it general since it's not just weddings, but I don't think that image is a strong one.

Overall, your site is clean and easy to navigate. Your photos are great, I just think they need a little rearranging.
