Day 23 | Las Vegas Photographer

One of the perks about my job being a Las Vegas wedding photographer, is I’m always on the strip and see tons of stuff people are not suppose to be doing. All I can do is laugh and take a picture. This was early in the morning. Got to love Vegas. Thanks M! * My...

Paying For a Professional Photography Blog is Worth It

I get asked all the time about my blog. Yes I paid money for it and here is an article about it. Thanks, M Many photographers today understand the importance of having a blog. However they do not understand how to properly use a blog. Or the value of having a professional blog. Blogger or...

rick - Great post, Mindy. I couldn’t agree more with your statements about the importance of having a)a blog to support a main web site, and b) having a professional looking blog.

Since I review photoblogs for a living, I can’t tell you how many photographers take the easy route using a standard template with Blogger.com. Not that Blogger.com can’t be modified to look professional, but most people either don’t have the technical know-how to pull it off or are just in a hurry to get a blog up and it shows.

Your points are dead on. A self-hosted WordPress blog is the standard today…and by the way, your blog looks terrific!

For photographers that are not web savvy, here’s a point to note. Search engines love fresh content. If you only have a static main photography site, you probably only update your site a few times a year. By properly maintaining a supporting blog, you can give your viewers updates on a variety of topics they will find interesting, i.e., shots from a recent shoot, what you’re doing lately, new offerings from your studio, etc.

If you post regularly (several times a week) on your blog, search engines will visit your site frequently..increasing your blog ratings, which is linked to your site (win-win). Plus from a marketing standpoint, this is a great soft-sell strategy. People will visit to read your newest entries and remember you when they are in the market for photography services.

Again, great article!
