Tankmomma, I've enjoyed our brief conversations and learning of your aspirations to expand on your photographic talents.  My wife found that most studios do a pretty poor job of capturing the nature and individuality of children, so she started doing shoots of of our kids and those of our friends.  Word is spreading fast, and she has at least one shoot every weekend.  We have a simple kit (needs upgrading) where we use a Nikon D100, and a variety of Nikkor lenses (f1.4 50mm, f3.5 18-35mm, f3.5 35-80mm, etc).

Most of her shoots are on-site (though we do have some homemade backdrops and some simple studio lights), and she allows herself to not take jobs <--- important/ to maintain her sanity as a full time mom part time photographer.

Anyway, since the demand is there, I've starting building her website.  It's not perfect, and I know that there are some basic flaws in my code, but I am not a coder, and this is my first attempt as web development.  I didn't use any fancy tools, just Notepad ++ and a lot of trial and error.  I managed to squeeze out an ASP contact form, JavaScript (which will be used when the galleries are ready) and basic HTML in a somewhat painful 3 day development effort.  Yes, I do realize that I could have used the same style sheet over and over, but I didn't figure that out until I was done.  

I do welcome constructive criticism, and will always welcome volunteers who want to offer improvements (or better yet...a flash version of this site).  Thanks for looking!

EDIT:  Her website is a terribly weak reflection of her work.  She has a bunch of stuff on her blog too, though it's a little more snapshot-y.  Still you can get the idea of her style/ability.

For just Notepad ++ that is a great job. You might want to set the white background part of the site to be the same size on all pages. Maybe break the form into two columns.
