    I had a client who was running a very successful photography studio. They did a lot with weddings, bridal shots, and model profiles.

    Their big marketing tools were:
    - SEO to get people to their site. Mostly keywords for weddings, bridal stuff, etc.
    - They bought lists from local bridal magazines and had tele-marketers calling them. I suppose you could set up similar campaigns for calls, direct mail, or email.
    - They had consultants going out to bars and clubs spreading the word about modeling head-shots.
    - Referral programs.

      You really need to meet with him(her) first and ask questions and probe their business. Who is their target market, specialties, etc... Once you know more about them then you can come back with a formal proposal for how you can best help them. You also need to find out their "pain"..what is it that they want to accomplish in their business..more clients, branding, new markets, website conversions, etc...

      I'm a hobby photographer, so I would be somewhat able to talk their language. Use your first meeting to fact find, then research later and come back with an informed solution to their needs!

      LOL! This is also a great way to meet women. AND get one's butt kicked!

      I know. I used to manage models. (The business was a lot of fun, except I had to deal with models. That was like babysitting! LOL!)

    Offer them an mobile website.
    Explain the benefits, show them some competitor that already have one(or pm and i'll give you one) and let them check their website on their own phone. Most sites are in flash and they won;t be able to access the content . Easy sell on this one
    Hope it helps

    The photographer should be well trained,experienced and a good professional in photography. Take a look on the photo albums he made and ensure you that the albums he shows you are totally original and made by him.

    Check the photographers google place listing. It's amazing how many do not upload photos.. If there are no videos on the google place listing, that could be another service. If you want to send me a personal message, I will create a slideshow for you.

    Mixing slides with video clips can achieve amazing results. I have seen very few photographers that actually put videos of themselves on the website, I believe they are missing out on a huge opportunity to build rappor with clients.

    this is an example of what I mean
