Hey Nakia,
After a quick glance through.. I like the simplicity and calm feel of the website. I am not overwhelmed by lot of pics or too much information. Some areas I thought could be improved upon are..

When you rollover the submenu items they are not visible, perhaps the same color as the background?
Your "About Me" sections lacks some punch and the text has lot of "I".. try to reword the sentences

Keeping a site simple and to the point is always a challenge you've done very well..

Good luck!!

Thank you for your feedback! The submenu items are supposed to be white text on a light pink background. Perhaps I should change the text color to the chocolate brown.

I will work on the About me section.

Again thank you!!

Okay, I changed the color of the submenu items to be brown when you rollover them. And I changed the about me wording. Thank you!!

Menus look better. Text reads well. I still feel the layout of About page could be made better. The space needs to be balanced, your photo and the text as too far across in the brown area. Also, see how it looks if you make the text aligned as "justify"...

I recently created mine a month ago and am still tweaking it lol..

I will have to figure that out. I am not computer savvy AT ALL! That's one thing I love about photobiz. It is so user friendly. Thanks again!

You might want to pare down your number of shots to only your best. There's a fair number of them that could have been held out.

Thank you Eric. It's hard to find that balance, I think. I will go over them again and see which ones to weed out. Thanks again!

ETA: I took out some of them, but if you would like to pm me with the ones you think need to go, I won't be offended in the least. Thanks!

I can't really remember which ones struck me... but the one that really stuck out was a babies trip-tich (collage thingy) where the babies lips were pursed and his eyes were crossed... very odd looking pose for a baby.

A few of the couples portraits were not "your best" as I'm sure you would agree.
