This may be common knowledge, so excuse me if you already know it. If you do not and are running a photography business, its something you may want to seriously check into setting up. It costs $50/year per account, but so far it has absolutely been worth it to me.
With the impending hire of my assistant, need for App Support Email, as well as using an business email account for myself that isn’t just the personal one I’ve had since the beginning of Gmail, I wanted to start using email accounts with my business name in them “…@michaelthemaven.com”, but I absolutely HATED the free email clients that comes with my hosting service. The are slow, unorganized and take forever to even access.
Google Apps let you set up customized business email accounts, with your Business Domain Name, and still use GMail. So far I have been absolutely loving it.
Set up is pretty straight forward, you essentially have to copy and paste some code into your site to identify yourself as the owner, and then change some of your email settings on your hosting account and you will be good to go. It took me about 20 minutes. 
There are a number of really nice business features on Google Apps you might want to check out if you havent already:
I have used Gmail for my business emails from my domain for a long time now. No need to pay anything, or code anything… I just set gmail to check my other accounts, you can both check and send from any other email addresses you setup in gmail.
It called my attention that this setup has 25.6GB of space. The free GMail has 7.6GB as of today. That alone makes the thing worth it, if one is reaching the free account limit. Thanks a lot for the info!
The variety of cloud services google provides are not very polished, yet are def the right price and useful for sharing data. On another note, I found the featured video in this domain of interest also. : )
