I need to be able to do more with my blog.

I need to be able to do more with my blog, such as change my permalink settings, upload video, work fluently with Lightroom etc. I know that I have to upgrade from the free wordpress version, but I don’t know which one I need…wordpress pro bundle or business?

Hi there,
If you require the ability to change your permalink settings, upload files using Lightroom, and the ability to add plugins, then unfortunately WordPress.com may not be for you. We do not provide these addons in our system.
Instead, what you may want to consider is moving to a fully self-hosted WordPress.org solution. To be clear, there are some differences but mostly similarities between the two:
If you’re interested, we do offer an upgrade called Guided Transfer (available in the Store section of your blog’s Dashboard) where we take care of everything for you: http://en.support.wordpress.com/guided-transfer/
Otherwise, you’ll need to install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ on a hosting provider. We have some recommendations at http://get.wp.com/hosting/
Once that’s done, you can move your content following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#moving-to-wordpress-org
WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:

Also, would I still be able to keep my url lafmilphotoblog.com? Or would that be .org after the change?

Heya,
The cost will depend entirely on how much you would like to spend on hosting with whatever company you go to. That is all you would need to pay. Your domain would not change, you would just need to point it towards this new hosting company rather than keep it pointed towards us!
Here’s some information about how to change your domain’s nameservers:
