your site lacks direction.
There is way too much going on, between having two different designers work next to each other, too much work displayed between the both of you. I have to read too much before clicking around finally finding the work. You try to sell yourself as a capable freelancer through a client login page, but the resume says "hey I'm looking for a job", and then there is photography work thrown into the mix.
Limit it to 8-10 of the best pieces. Learn how to present it better. These pieces should be the first thing someone sees when they are on your front page. Figure out EXACTLY whom you are targeting and the purpose of the portfolio. Rarely is anyone going to think to himself "hmm I'd like to find someone to take pictures of my kid and design a wrap for my nascar car, oh and I'm going to hand their resume off to someone else to hire him for a full-time job". A photog savvy designer is definitely a plus but you either need to have a completely standalone photog portfolio or simply just link to your flickr or tumblr. Never combine the two.
