In 2025, beautiful photos alone won’t book clients—visibility will. That’s where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) comes in.

As both a photographer and website designer, I’ve seen creatives lose leads simply because their sites aren’t optimized. Here’s why SEO matters:

  • Local Discovery: When someone searches “newborn photographer in Marshall MN,” optimized sites appear first.

  • User Experience: SEO isn’t just keywords—it’s site speed, clear messaging, mobile-first design, and intuitive navigation.

  • Authority: Blogging regularly (like this!) builds Google trust and shows expertise.

  • Longevity: Algorithm updates come and go, but a solid SEO foundation keeps you ranking.

Blend storytelling with strategy. Use authentic copy, optimized images (proper sizing and alt text), internal links to your services, and consistent blogging that targets both local and national keywords. Your website should be your hardest-working employee—booking while you’re behind the camera.
