Just so you know, the resizing for the internet has caused the fonts to look rather blurry.

great pics and variety of colors on the top one,
have to say the girl with the purple looks like the image was squished vertically, and there's banding around the caligraphy glow, (might just be my monitor on the last part)
Also, I would consider running just three images on the front card, as 4 splits the card into two halves.

That image might be a little swquished but it oculd also be how she was holding her head.
I appreciate the feed back. I might try playing with it a bit more...

The four photos on the front also have different vignetting on them. Some have 1 sharp edge and three vignetted, some have 2/2, etc. I'd make them all the same, and put some black space between the photos.
The text on the back of the card makes me think my eyes are going bad...

Dont like the font on #1. photography looks like a scribbled mess.
Also, the 2 designs are kind of opposites. Try and make them at least somewhat similar (i first thought they were 2 different designs)

IMHO, stick with parallel nouns. For example, "child" instead of "children". Or you could go the complete other way: "Children Babies Weddings Seniors" ect. And maybe consider throwing down "Portraiture" to cover "child senior baby". I imagine if you're giving out the card you're going to be talking to the people interested. You can easily explain that portraiture includes all age groups (or they can deduct that). But it is just my opinion.

I only have one critique, the front and back designs aren't cohesive. Seems they're done by different persons.

Thanks teeth, the C&C on the wording helps...I like that I idea of using Portraiture instead.
And the I wanted to show all aspects of my work, the landscaps, portrait, etc...but there isn't enough card!!!
Iscrapped it and started afourth design.....I am working on them now...I might post them tomorrow.

If you shoot everything, then why not just say 'Photography'?

Have it just say "Jennifer Duffy Photography" on the front (with the images if you like) and on the back have the contact info with no image (people know what photography is after all :P)
If people are interested, they'll go to your site or contact you personally and ask what type you do.
Another thing, in this day in age people love minimalism, which means the less there is the better. You could get away with just a black card that says, "Jennifer Duffy Photography" at the top and the contact info along the bottom. It's also a good idea to come up with a logo for yourself. No professionals or business's would be anywhere if they didn't brand themselves.
I'd mock up a quick design for you, but it's 2:30am and I gotta get to bed haha.
