Amateur Photographer Needs Advice

Barb

I need some advice. I bought a Pro Account recently. I'm not a professional photographer, just an amateur who loves to take pictures. I do, however, believe that several of my pictures are "suitable for framing."

My problem is, I'm not sure how to set up my galleries to do that. I have several galleries right now and have shopping carts on all of them. Not all pictures in all galleries are worthy of purchase, however.

I've looked at many many galleries of people here and see a lot of different ways of setting it up. My mind is swimming at this point, and I just don't know what the best way is to "show off" some of my better pictures. Do I make a "Portfolio" and only put pictures for sale in that? Do I make an "Order Prints Here" gallery and put them there? Is it better to have just a few for sale or an entire gallery? Ack ... I just don't know.

Also, I would love to frame the photos that I'd like to try to sell in whatever gallery or format they end up in. I have no idea how to get some of the wonderful frames some of the folks here have. Anyone willing to share their secret?

I know the decision is ultimately mine and personal preference is huge. I just really need some guidance. I'd like to take my photography to the next level, I just really don't know how to do that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Edit: Yay! I found a framing program, so all is well on that end I think I'm happy with the way I have things set up now. At least for today -
