Currently I'll recommend Joomla and Drupal, with apropriate security set in place.
Nice templates and plugins available.
I did mine too. If I was doing again or doing a total redo, I too would recomend Joomla. I've done some work with Joomla and like it. There are some ok photo selling packages done in php. If I was doing a new site I would use Joomla to display my basic site and hook one of the photo selling packages into it.
Joomla or Drupal are Content Management Systems (CMS). They have a backend that allows you to design and maintain your site. Even If you are having someone else do the site, using a CMS will allow you to do the maintance and updates. You don't have to buy dreamweaver or some other web design package since the design is entered on the web through the backend.
Joomla is open source and most of the add-ins are too. They have gone through some issues over open source in the last year. They are enforcing the terms of GNU licenses. It has shaken up many Joomla add-in developers. I don't see Joomla having a solid photo selling package that's intergrated in Joomla.
The one selling package looked ok except for the display of different aspect ratios. If you select 5x7, the image is stretched to fit.
