YOU’VE BUILT A PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS AND…

You want a website that the right people can find

Maybe you started with a template, and you’ve been DIYing your site for years, or you’re about to launch, and you want to start out strong.

Maybe you’d like to trade making reels and carousels for a solid online presence that attracts your dream clients and makes it easy for them to connect with you.

A COMMON REFRAIN…

Every photographer, “I just want my website done right.”

A photography business takes grit, there are 100 roles to play and only one you. Often, photographers’ websites are an afterthought that only comes up when the inquiries dwindle or when you don’t want to do another social media post.

A professionally designed website will be eye-catching, have excellent SEO (search engines will find you and send you to the right people) and will actually work.

Choose a Website Experience that’s…

Simple

Using a system I’ve refined over the years, you will be guided step by step. Your website will be set up to grow with you and to let you use it from launch day.

Professional

Your website will be an online space that your clients are looking for and can actually find. They will know what you do, how to reach you, and how to work with you.

Findable

This is what SEO does for your business. With 20+ years of SEO geekery behind me, your website will be set up to be found by the right people.

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER TURNED WEBSITE NERD

Lost lens caps, rained out sessions, who has time for website design?

Oh! I do! I’ve built or fixed countless photography websites. I have the inside track on what your business is like because I’m a professional photographer too.

I know how much your work matters and I know that to run a sustainable photography business, clients are pretty key. With years of design, copywriting, brand strategy and SEO geekery behind me, I’d be honoured to help you get your work in front of the right people.

They say, “I need photos,” You say, “Here’s my website!”

Here’s what you can expect when we work together to design your website.

Neuro-inclusive

I specialize in working with highly sensitive and neurodivergent business owners. (Hi, me too!) Schedules are flexible, expectations are clear, and everything is broken down step by step. Health, rest, and wellness always come first.

20+ years of design experience

I’ve been designing websites since code ‘n’ {.filmore.} was the only way to do it. I’ve come and gone in how many projects I do a year, but you can rest assured, I’ve got this.

A flexible schedule

I don’t work with a set schedule. We are a homeschooling family, and around here, family and health always come first. I give you that same space. You can expect communication as things come up.

You will get an earful about SEO

I apologize in advance. SEO is a passion of mine and has been since the late 1990s. It’s a fun game to me, and I will invite you into the joy. I’m sorry.

A clear contract

Before we work together, we will clarify expectations, and you will get a clear contract.

I’m super detail-oriented, and I take time

I do my best work when I have a lot of flexibility and space. I will notice all the nitty-gritty things and make sure they are sorted. You may get your website in a few days, or it may take a few months.

READY TO GET STARTED?

Let’s get it done!

Your future clients are already out there searching for a photographer on Google. Let’s get you a website that’s designed to make it easy for them to find you!
