Just spent a second on the front page. Hard to tell what his specialty is. I think if I were a client I wouldn't know what to think of a photographic general practitioner. I always think it is stronger to show what you want to sell and direct your images to a target audience. As it stands, wedding people may be less than enthused and the other potential clients may also see the weddings and be confused.
Also "Schedule a Consolation" I hope that is not what they meant to say.

A classic oops. Gotta luv the spel chek.
The top-right navigation baffles me. When you land on the home page, there's a 'Start Here'. I thought I just started. And, no matter how much look at the site, it continues to urge you to start. Doesn't make much sense.
I also think having some top-level navigation clickable (e.g. About Me) and some not (e.g. Portfolio) is a bad idea
Just by looking at the main page, the first thing your friend should do - figure out what kind of photographer he wants to be. If he wants to be a wedding, event, sports, motorcycle photographer, then great. He should have a different domain/website for each one. Be perceived as a master of wedding (or event or sports or motorcylce... pick ONE) photography.
Another word of advice would be to only show the best images. I'd rather only see 5 awesome images and not 30 mediocre images.
