Not 100% true, some websites have better frame work for SE spiders and easier for user to update. Then you need to have good steady stream of updated content on your website.

Also free plugins like Google XML Site Map and the All-in-One SEO pack, you can maintain good SEO discipline, giving your site the best chance of good search results. Also, Wordpress integrates perfectly with social plugins like Facebook, twitter and linkedin.
Some people are intimidated by the short learning curve with Wordpress but having a WP site also means you have 100% control of your brand and SEO. There are also 1000's of free templates to use as well and tons of Youtube videos to get you started.
As far as SEO, all of the above ranking comments are true but if you are trying to rank locally the best thing to do is get local citations. Also, get active on Facebook, Twitter, Google plus, and linkedin. These social signals are measured by Google's algorithm and will help you get on page one.
If you haven't done it already, take a look at your competition and see where they are ranking on Google. Do a Google search for the type of photography you want to rank. For example, google: wedding photographer dallas texas. Change out the wedding photographer and city/state for your own. Google will show you the paid ads at the top, then the organic search results, then you will see a listing of google+ sites (this is why you need a google+ site), and then more organic searches. Google will also put in "bold" the keyword each company is ranking for with your search term.
Most important of all, don't get overwhelmed and do nothing. Get started now as SEO ranking requires patience and time.
