the thing with "fresh eyes" is that if someone is searching for a photographer to hire, chances are that they have already seen that site before, and your site will not stand out.
I know when i was looking for a wedding photographer, i got SOO confused about which one i liked and which one i didnt because it was just all the same. With websites, you NEED branding. You need to have a consistent style through out that people will remember when they leave your site..
That way if they saw a flyer, and then your website, they would remember one or the other..
