It says nothing about you, nor does it set you apart from any of the other cutie-pie named photographers out there. Victoria Bryant Photography, Photos by Victoria, Bryant Photographic, those are all good names.2) This is 2013 and you have a 1995 website. Those template builder sites aren't much good for anything, especially if you want to be taken seriously as a business. You can get a WordPress powered site up and running on a shoestring budget of less than $200. You can find better templates that show off your photography instead of hiding it on a poorly designed website.3) Learn about SEO and online marketing. This topic is too broad to even elaborate on here. When it comes to a business, this is more important than the photos themselves. You have your work cut out for you here.You seem to be the shy, introverted type. No photos of people...just critters, flowers, and scenery. That's fine if you want to starve to death and hope to only sell prints. That end of the business is very tricky, and unless you've got some spectacular landscapes to work with, selling photos of bees and leaves isn't going to put food on your table. We all like to take photos of our own interests. But in business, you've got to specialize. You've got to find your groove, your niche, your product that you want to sell. If you have an aversion to shooting people, then try something that you can generate other sources of income from: food, architecture, or product photography.</blockquote>
