As a designer specializing in inclusive photography brands, I get to work with some of the coolest, most unique photographers out there. From elopement photographers breaking wedding industry traditions to boudoir photographers celebrating all bodies, my clients are anything but ordinary. And their websites shouldn’t be either. That’s where the magic of the Showit platform and my trusted design process come in to play.
The Power of a Template
Let’s get one thing straight: a template is just the beginning. Think of it as a blank canvas with a basic structure, saving time and providing a solid foundation. The real transformation happens when we start customizing it to reflect your brand and personality.
Why Showit?
Showit is an incredibly versatile platform that allows for complete creative freedom. Unlike other platforms that can be restrictive, Showit lets us take a template and mold it into something that screams “you.” If you’re looking for a website that represents your alternative, laid-back, creative vibes, Showit provides the flexibility needed to showcase your unique style and voice.
Showcasing Some Favorites
Here are some of my favorite alternative photography websites that I’ve designed on the Showit platform. Each one started with a template but ended up as a unique reflection of the photographer behind it:

“Kelsey is literally the greatest of all time! “I was really nervous to pass this task off to someone else, but MY GOD did she understand the assignment. Kelsey has a *way* with Showit and I am BLOWN AWAY at how she balanced emo with elegance, punk rock with black tie . . . I feel like I am now displaying a cohesive brand that is true to me.” – Katarina
At the end of the day, no two photographers are alike, and their websites shouldn’t be either. A template is just a starting point. By understanding your brand, we can transform that template into a stunning, unique website that not only looks amazing but also attracts your ideal clients.
