You can apply to register these types of photographs using eCO, Form CO, or paper Form VA. See the back side of this form letter for details

Q: Can "an entire unit" be photos from three month of shooting? Title First quarter 2010
And thats the million dollar question... the US Copyright Office really hasnt caught up to the internet yet and it really depends on - not when the content was shot - rather when it was/will be published. A website is an ongoing work, not a single unit of published material. Therefore its sometimes difficult to figure out.

And if you get it wrong and the registration gets thrown out, so does your case.

Therefore I would copyright whatever the content is - as you publish it. Meaning that if you are going to add 100 pics and 10 videos to your site on 3/31/10 -- file for the registrations on all of that content together.
