Kristina Curtis Photography needed more than a gallery — she needed a portfolio that showcased her work beautifully while guiding potential clients through the booking process. The existing online presence wasn't reflecting the quality of the photography or making it easy for interested clients to take the next step.
The platform needed to:
- •Display photography in curated, filterable galleries
- •Provide transparent pricing and investment information
- •Connect clients with preferred vendors for a complete event experience
- •Make it effortless to inquire and start the booking conversation
The goal was a site that felt as polished as the photography itself — one that told a story, built trust, and made booking feel natural.
The Solution: A Portfolio Built for the Full Client Journey
I designed and built a custom photography portfolio with curated galleries featuring tag-based filtering, an investment page for pricing transparency, a preferred vendor directory, and a contact form powered by AWS Lambda for reliable email delivery. The site also includes a brand storytelling about page and mobile-optimized image viewing throughout.
Every page is designed to move visitors closer to booking — from the first gallery they browse to the moment they submit an inquiry. The result is a cohesive brand experience that reflects the artistry of the photography and makes the business side effortless.
