I have to say, and it's not meant to be super personal or offensive, but I really don't like it when photographers bad-mouth other photography techniques. I feel it creates too many false impressions for people who may not know tons about photography.

For instance, I read on one site that you shouldn't trust your wedding photos to a part-time photographer since they don't care as much as a fulltime photographer.

You sort of did the same thing. It's really your site and your opinion...but personally, I think it comes across as bossy or whatever...

just me.

yeah, I suppose it does come off like that. I'll try to re-work some of the words. I didn't mean to sound like that. It helps to get that kind of feedback. Great point, I'll try to fix that. anyone else?

I like the ease and simplicity of use of the link bar at the top of each page.

really effective layout - typo however:

A portrait, this memory, will last forever. Let it be a memory of you who and your family really are.

I'm assuming it should be "Let it be a memory of who you, not you who.

Nice layout and clean navigation. For me the decorative font in blue with white highlights (Beauty Captured) gets a little lost against the black background. The type style is too "thin" to stand against the black. Just my opinion.

Not sure why but the Pricing page didn't display correctly in my browser. All the images seemed too small and therefore were being repeated. See the attached to explain what I'm trying to say.

not your browser, it was my site. I have fixed most of the issues brought up. any other suggestions?

Am just visiting your site Drake, and (for me) black is not the best background colour, it always seems oppresive even though it seems a popular colour these days. As an aside I was really drawn to the dpc colour scheme, light, easy to view and professional looking.

Looks like its a typo outing m8, on your pricing page under Package A you have pacakge price $16
