I like it, but I think it would be more even if you centered the title, and made all three images the same along the bottom. just a thought, It might suck like that, of course.

edit - check mine too if you feel the inclination

It looks a little busy. I'm no expert but I'd say keep it simple and maybe go with one elegant, well taken picture.

Hah! I didn't know you lived in KC...and I thought I was the only person from Kansas on here, lol. I saw the 913 area code on the card...it gave you away man.

:P

well- I saw it before and I really liked it! I guess the only thing I would say is put a little more space between your #/ E-mail/ website. So you're going one sided then?? Great picture :0)

Sigh- I guess it's back to the drawing board (again!) for me...

edit to say- the reason the one is bigger is that it had been suggested the baby couldn't be seen on such a small image.

Here's my humble opinion... I think the three pictures are just completely different aspects of what you can do, and you may have different audiences that each would appeal to, so why not have three different cards, each with one large picture? Just a thought...

The drop shadows on the text and photos are way too dark... make them more subtle, and it will look cleaner immediately. If you just do one photo (for instance, remove the two smaller ones from this one), you could center your info on the right side and keep all the text going the same direction.

Your text can be 9-10 point type, too. By making the text a little smaller, it will draw more attention to your main focal point: the picture.

You're on the right track, though! Your photos are great and show a lot of personal character. :)

Seriously? Loose the flower/baby shot. It's a cute shot but the baby, even in the larger version gets very lost and doesn't make the impact I think you might be looking for. Now, there is a picture of the cutest little baby on your website that I think would look great on your card! ;)

Otherwise, I like it

Have you considered making several business cards? One of these photos on each? Or a 2 sided card? They are all great photos but they don't seem to compliment each other. That might be another idea- using 3 photos with more similar colors... this is just a thought. All 3 are really great photos. EB ( brizmama )

OOPS- first I am signed in as my husband. second I have noticed this idea already posted below. :)

ok, i think this might sting a bit... but I think you should maybe re-consider all of the shots on the card.
- the wedding shot, although VERY relative to the market you're trying to capture isn't a great shot. the little girl in the back looks awkwardly contorted (her neck and her arms seem to be quite uncomfortably posed). i think the subjects are ideal, but it looks like she's lost her neck :(
- the over-polarized image is alright, technically there is nothing wrong with it, but I feel that its displaying the "wrong" emotion you're trying to convey. At least from my perspective, it really seems that the male in the image is about to start laughing at the situation, which moves the shot from a "nice moment" to a staged pose.
- finally, the baby image just doesn't do much for me. I think the problem with it is that there is "too much evidence" that this has been photoshopped. I imagine with more work, it could work, but I feel that the edges between the baby and the flower are just too unnatural and takes away from what you're trying to accomplish.
