Hi Spencer,

You do have a custom domain so you would need to search for that. Doing a Google image search for:
site:www.photito.com
there are a number of results.

To possibly improve on your search ranking, check out the following articles:

One thing that jumped out at me is that the photos in your blog do not lead the viewer back to your smug site. Instead of uploading the photos in wordpress you might consider using Share... Get a link, then using the embeddable code provided there. That will at least connect your blog and your photography galleries.

The only link from your blog to your photo galleries appears to be a text link inside of your about page. You might consider adding a navbar link in your blog to go back to your smug site. I'd also recommend that you not open a new browser window when a viewer switches between your blog to your smug site. I find sites that open new windows / tabs (that I did not request) to be quite annoying. That's usually a signal to me to leave the site.

You are making good use of photo captions but very little use of keywords. Adding keywords might help.
