p.1 #1 · Reconciling Family portraits with Boudoir photography
Happy New Year, all,
I’m curious as to other’s experiences with the potential business dilemma goddardca references below.
One might assume that clients looking for a family portrait photographer might be uneasy with a photographer that also markets him/herself as a "boudoir" shooter.
Do any of you have perspectives, opinions, experiences with shooting both ends of the business?

I'm kind of in an awkward position right now as I prefer to shoot fashion and commercial looking shots but just found out that suicide girls wants to test me out as a possible future photographer for them.

So now the juggling begins of promoting this new work but trying not to deter future clients who see this is, for lack of a better word, porn. ...Show more →

I vote two sites. From a marketing perspective, i'd guess the mom looking for a family portrait photographer is completely different than the person looking for a boudoir photographer. Therefore, they should probably be marketed to separately.

My wife does the same thing she has two separate sites for the boudoir and one for the weddings and portraits. Different marketing materials and business cards.

Id go so far, in this world of googling, to suggest even using a pseudonym or market one site with your name perhaps, and another with a business name... If I were shooting for suicide girls or the like I would come up with some really cool fake name like Max Power or Flash Nasty or Solid State or maybe Rob Steel.
