Some constructive criticism.

Consider removing the "capturing moments in time" from the header/title of your site. That line is very cliche' and isn't needed.

Your Portraits great kids section. It is rather obvious to me that you had a group of people (of which you included photos of) that you look 1 by 1 on that same day and did a quick portait of them. I see similar lighting and elements in the background. They are all rather average especially since you didn't control the lighting very well - with your subject in the shadows while there are bright highlights of sun in the background and the depth of field is very large. I suggest you find one that are better than the others because they all look very similar and a lot of average portaits isn't a plus for you.

Your other portait sections need to be weeded through to remove the average and ones that are just too similar to another one. Show your best stuff instead of showing ... it all. Viewers can be discouraged by seeing too much of the same, and having too many to look through. Show your best instead of showing everything.

I absolutely LOVE the first picture in Cheryl and Logan's album. I would have cut out the death valley ranch and the stuff on the sides. But it's still gorgeous.

On the great kids, you are correct I was fighting the lighting based on where we were plus it turned into a Chinese fire drill with a tight time window to shoot and get out of the park. I did learn a lot that day. I shot mostly in manual so that is why you saw so many different light situations. I knew going in that shooting mid-day would be killer. I posted so many of the photos for the kids so they could have quick access to them. As far as weeding out the galleries, I will most certainly do that. It has been a work in progress and really want it to look special. I know that you only have one chance to make a 1st impression.
The capturing moments in time... I should have nothing? If something, what would you suggest?
As to the "Death Valley Ranch" shot, that is more of a reflection of of where we were. They love Scotty's Castle so that is what I tried to capture. I will post a different version to reduce the distraction you see.

Thanks for the feedback....

I suggest using nothing. A catch line isn't going to draw clients in or keep them there, is it? Your work should be what draws and keep them not a cliche' one-liner.

Do doctors have a catch line? No, but laywers and plumbers often do and you don't want to stoop to their level, do you? :lol:

You might make the name of your company bigger with a less ordinary font - yet still easily readable (not going with too fancy a font).
