- I do not like the font. Change it to something for physically appleasing
- Get rid of the standard blue links, purple visited links - it screams newbie. This is done very easily with CSS. If you need a hand with this please feel free to drop me a PM.
- Change the background color of your gallery (simpleviewer) to black (i.e. same color as your website background), it'll look much more integrated
- Don't center all your text (i.e. about and contact)

All in all, I think you are on the right track, but it needs some improvements. You need to give clients a reason to come back to your site. You may find it useful to put your blog on your homepage.

Just my opinion ...

Anybody know how to do this ?

Sorry Turbo that I missed your PM.

All you need to do is add in your style sheet the following:

a {
color: *SOME COLOR HERE*;
}

I'd say the prices scream that LONG before the links ever did.

Change <title>Home</title> to<title>Grant Watkins Photography</title>.
Add some META tags.
Hyperlink your pictures to your gallery.

Just my opinion, though.

I noticed that you have prices for weddings, family portraits, band portraits, and kids and pets but do not have any examples of these types of photos in your gallery. Why would a customer want to hire you if you do not have examples of that specific work on your site. Especially with weddings.

You have some awsome landscapes though, if you have some more examples put them up there maybe create different galleries for each type so your customers don't have to sort through a bunch of images to see what they want.

why does the copyright symbol link to a major list of other sites?

i'm assuming to improve google hits, but i don't think these 'site farms' do that as well as they used to
