This is where we talk about what's possible for you.
Branding & Showit Website Design for photographers
Heading
You can come with the chaotic Pinterest board. The screenshots you saved because you liked something about them. A list of things you definitely don’t want. A half-formed idea of where you want your business to go.
My job is to make sense of it.
After 14+ years of doing this, I’ve gotten pretty damn good at finding the thread between what you love, what makes your work different, and what your business actually needs. Then I turn all of it into a website that’s considered, cohesive, and completely your own.
It's okay if you don't have all the answers.
I spent six years as a wedding photographer before eventually trading shooting weddings for designing websites full-time. So when I say I understand photographers, I don’t just mean I’ve worked with a lot of them.
I know what goes into the work. The hours spent culling and editing. The weird emotional attachment to certain images in your portfolio. The difference between the weddings you can book and the ones you actually want to book.
And after 14+ years designing websites for photographers, I’ve watched this industry change a LOT. Trends have come and gone. The way couples find photographers has changed. What felt fresh five years ago can feel dated now. Part of being good at this for as long as I have is knowing when to evolve, what’s worth paying attention to, and what was never worth following in the first place.
I know this industry from both sides of the camera.
"I feel so seen! Somehow without knowing me you made something that screams me."

Frequently Asked Questions
Working with me doesn’t feel like handing your brand off to a stranger — it feels like collaborating with someone who gets it, and has your back the whole way through.
Once your contract and deposit are squared away, we start with a few simple brand discovery exercises — no jargon, no fluff. Just thoughtful prompts to help me understand your story, your goals, and the version of you this website needs to reflect.
From there, the process moves in intentional, clear stages — always with room for your voice and feedback. I’ll guide you step-by-step through strategy, design, and refinement so you’re never wondering “what’s next?” or “what’s expected of me?”
We stay on schedule, we communicate openly, and we make magic happen without the overwhelm.
By the end, you won’t just walk away with a beautiful, aligned website.
You’ll walk away with more clarity, more confidence — and a brand that finally feels like home.
Want a detailed breakdown? I’m happy to send you a sample timeline for any package.
What if I know what I want, but I have no idea how to explain it?
You don’t have to. In fact, a lot of my clients come to me knowing what they want their business to feel like, but having absolutely no idea how to put it into words. Bring me the half-formed ideas, the Pinterest board, the things you love but can’t explain why. I’m really good at finding the thread that connects it all and turning it into something that makes sense.
Do you do SEO optimization?
Yes! We perform detailed SEO optimization on your website, including keyword research, text tags, page titles, meta descriptions, and more. We’ll also help walk you through some tips for naming your images and writing your content for optimal SEO. Jill Houser, one of our recent clients, moved from page 6 to page 1 on Google (that's over 50 spots!)
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! We require a 25% deposit to book your date, 25% the day before your scheduled start date, and the remaining 50% upon completion of the project. The balance must be paid in full before the final designs are delivered. Please keep in mind that we have strict late fees for homework/feedback that isn't on time, because this throws off your entire project timeline - so plan carefully if you book during your busy season!
Will I be able to update my site on my own?
Yes! Once we finish up, the site is all yours to update as often as you like. We provide you with personalized Showit and Wordpress tutorials that should cover any basic updates (text, images, etc) and Showit has an extensive collection of tutorials and help articles. Additionally, Showit has an amazing support team that can help with any issues, and we're always available to answer questions as well! We're here to help!
How soon can we get started?
We normally have a 2-3 week wait. Our design process includes a short homework assignment that's due on the project start date, so the further in advance you inquire and book, the better! Once you select a date, sign the contract, and pay the deposit, you're officially on the schedule!
What if I'm not a wedding photographer?
We typically work with wedding photographers, but not exclusively. We've also done brands and websites for interior designers, wedding planners, coaches, business managers, and family/lifestyle photographers. Please don't hesitate to reach out - even if we're not the best fit for your industry, we can point you in the direction of someone who is!
