Why not use a service like "Headline Hotline" that connects you with true advertising professionals? You can also use a pro to help you do your business cards so they don't look like the standard template cards from VistaPrint or other similar companies - honestly, everything looks the same from those places. You can have a place like that do the printing, but start with a better design.
You also should have a good website because business cards aren't going to develop your business. Again, an ad pro can help you. Do not just go to a graphic artist - they can make things look pretty, but you are looking to create a message to help distinguish you from the many other photographers out there. You need good marketing help for that, and that means advertising copywriting and art direction - that is NOT the same as a graphic artist who can design a logo or stationery, but not an ad MESSAGE to set you apart from the others.
You have to be willing to spend a little money, but it's a great investment if you do it right. I know a ton of people in the ad business, and you would be surprised at the expertise you can get from using a GOOD freelancer with a track record.
Offhand, I think most ad professionals would say that the "graceful" idea appeals to some people, but it probably doesn't encompass all that you are able to do. Don't sell yourself short.
