Dustin, thank you for a great post.

I am totaly agreed that your website should reflect your style or your brand.

As you had said, if you are confident on yourself, you don’t have to be afraid, like posting your price.
At the end, the images from those special moments that you captured are the one that counts!!

Thanks again.

Exactly, Britt! Don’t hide behind the bells and whistles. Let your work show through. Clients want to hire confident photographers :)

Great article, I think you have hit the nail on the head. The business side of photography is just as important as the creative. Some of the most successful photographers in the world are not necessarily the best, they just know how to market themselves.

You love taking photographs. You love making your clients laugh as you snap their portrait. You also feel your heart burst when your clients cry over your images. So why can’t you get them to buy anything? In the beginning, I was just as frustrated as many of you. I would sit up on the...
