I agree with most everything posted.
This is a business and today's businesses need to have websites.
Updating pictures is most important. I figure I will have one professional shoot a year and then update with new at home pictures monthly. Keeps guys coming back to my site.
No music - most are looking at work or quietly at home.
I agree with Namoni - don't make the site name too long. I personally bought my own domain name (make sure you pay to keep your information private - doesn't cost much).
I am sure you will come up with the best solution for you!!
