Let me give you a little background first. I have been doing photography for roughly 10 years. But started doing photography professionally about a year ago as a second job. I shoot the studio shots in my house. From this last order I received I have enough money to either upgrade to a totally new (and better) website that looks more professional or one strobe w/stand + PLM.

My current gear....
Canon 7D
Canon Rebel XTI
Canon 24-70L F2.8
Canon 50mm f1.4
Alien Bee's ABR800 ring flash with 30 + 56 inch softboxes.

I only have one strobe and need another one, but I believe buying a new nicer website might get me more business.

Here is my website. www.ProjectNineFive.co​m (external link)

If you can revamp the site to where it brings in new business, it will more than pay for an extra strobe.

Having said that, I don't think websites are THAT important once you begin networking and getting word of mouth bookings. I get more work via facebook and WoM than my website. In fact, what I'm busy as heck doing now isn't even on my site. :lol:


Did you lose Digital Photo Professional (DPP)? Get it here (external link). Cursing at your worse-than-a-map reflector? Check out this vid! (external link)
