Photo webmanagement

Hey all, long time no see.

Since I know a few of you use different gallery software for your websites, I thought I'd ask for opinions on what you use and why, but to help you out, here is what I require.

Public and private areas without user names.

What I mean by this, is I'd like it that only if I give the person the direct URL could they access the private galleries, however, anyone looking at the public section wouldn't even see a link to any private galleries, but still be able to browse the public.

IE I'd only like to give the URL for birthday and other family photo's to my family, without making them create usernames and passwords.

Lots of customization, everything from thumbnails to the CSS used for each page.

One's I have been looking at and seem close, usually require having usernames/passwords to access the private galleries.

So anyway what do you all use?
