well...cheap and quick...it shows...i would say to skin the gallery component to fit the site but as of yet there really is no visual design to it...there needs to be some sort of identity present all the time in the main window (which should not say "flash window" as the title and should IMHO not be a pop-up)...i mean this is to get your friend work and her name isnt even on the site...it just looks flat...there is nothing wrong with minimalism but this design is a little lacking...
...why not make the thumbnails all the same size as the thumbnail windows so the gray bars aren't on the sides...skin the scrollbars (and use the same scrollbar / skin in the other sections of the site)...create a logo / identity...the buttons and type need work...most importantly - define your aesthetic and then execute it consistently throughout the site...there are plenty great examples of makeup artist / fashion sites out there...i would do a little research to try and learn about the audience before doing the visuals...
hope that is not too harsh...just trying to be helpful...i know that it was a low financial priority so i understand cutting some corners...just seems a shame with the great photos you have to work with...you could do something rockin for your folio...
