Your work is the product, and most photography sites get in its way: cramped grids, watermarks, slow galleries, and pricing that's deliberately hidden. Clients are comparing four photographers in four tabs, and the one who shows a coherent body of work and answers "what does this cost" is the one who gets the inquiry.
I design and build custom websites for photographers. Every site is hand-coded, gives your images full-bleed space, loads fast even with heavy galleries, and puts a clean path to your packages and calendar in front of the people ready to book.
Let's Build YoursTwo things decide a photography inquiry. Whether the work feels like theirs, which means galleries curated by session type instead of everything you've ever shot, and whether they can afford you, which means a starting price or package range. Hiding the second only means the wrong people email you and the right ones assume you're out of reach.
I build every photography site around those two answers, then add the local SEO that gets you found for wedding, portrait, family and headshot photographer searches in your part of Los Angeles.
From a first-time build to a full redesign, here's what's available. All projects include mobile-first design, local SEO setup, and fast performance out of the box.
Built from scratch to match your brand. No templates, no themes. A site that looks like you and converts visitors into calls.

A clean, professional site to show your work and get you found.
More pages, a blog, and full local SEO to compete and win more jobs.

Final pricing depends on your pages and features. You'll get one flat number before anything starts. Sites also include a separate monthly hosting & care plan (from $15/mo) that keeps your site online, secure, updated, and backed up, quoted alongside your build so you see both numbers up front.
Most photography sites I'm asked to fix share the same handful of problems, and every one of them is costing you inquiries from people who liked the work.
Photographers ship the heaviest sites I see. Full-resolution galleries that take six seconds to load lose visitors and rankings at the same time. Sharp images and fast pages are not a tradeoff if it's built properly.
A visitor planning a wedding doesn't want to scroll past newborns and headshots. Galleries split by session type let people see themselves in the work immediately.
A starting price or package range filters out the inquiries that were never going to book and reassures the ones who assumed you were more expensive than you are.
Most first visits come from Instagram on a phone. If images crop badly or the gallery scroll fights the browser, the work looks careless.
A contact link in the footer isn't a booking path. A short inquiry form with date, session type and location, or a calendar with a deposit, converts far better.
Instagram alone is not a business plan. Pages for the session types and areas you shoot get you found by people who aren't already following you.
Custom projects come in three flat-rate packages: Starter from $1,000, Professional (with a journal and full local SEO) from $2,500, and Premium from $5,000 for larger sites with client galleries, booking and deposits. If you'd rather launch faster and for less, a template-based build is a great starting point. Every project is quoted as one fixed price after a free discovery call.
Not if they're built properly. I compress and size every image, serve modern formats, and lazy-load below the fold, so galleries stay sharp while the page still loads fast on a phone.
A starting price or package range almost always helps. It stops the inquiries that were never in budget and reassures the clients who assumed you were out of reach, which is the more common problem.
Yes. I can connect Honeybook, Dubsado, Pixieset, Acuity or Calendly so a session can be booked and a retainer paid without a back-and-forth email chain.
Yes. Weddings, portraits, families, brand and headshots are separate searches by separate people, and each deserves its own gallery and page to rank and to convert.
Custom sites typically take 2 to 6 weeks depending on scope. Template-based builds are completed in 2 to 4 weeks. The timeline starts once you provide your images and content.
Yes. The portfolio page shows a selection of completed projects across different industries, and Aperture is a template built specifically for photographers.
