One of the ways to show off your photos is use Apple’s Mail Stationery. The Apple web site will show you to use it if haven’t already. Like most of Apple’s applicatio, Mail Stationery involves templates that you can customize with your own photos and text.
But if you are looking to use Mail Stationery on a professional level, you may want to eventually customize templates to include your logo and other business information.
Using what I learned from a tutorial on how to customize Mail, stationery, I changed one template using Photoshop and the HTML text editor, TextMate.

My revision
Apple Mail Stationary comes with some nice and often fun templates for consumers but you will have to look elsewhere for more business related templates. Jumpsoft and and Equinux make packs of third-party stationery templates, featuring a handful of templates useful to professional photographers.
But if you have some HTML, CSS and graphic layout skills, it’s best to create your own templates. And that’s what I’m learning to do.
Though there’s a lot debate about using HTML emails, I haven’t heard any complaints from my clients. Graphic emails simply help enhance your photographs, providing a distinctive look to your business.
