By the looks of your poll, your name is too long. Not that it's not a great name! But it has been done SO MUCH. How many photog's out there just use their name?
I posted some silly ideas on twitter... which was fun! :) But I would like to encourage you to think about your idea of your business and come up with something from that. What do you plan to specialize in? How do you view photography in general? What are you looking to achieve? Then research synonyms/catch phrases around those ideas. (for example: Radiant Pictures, BellaPhoto, BellaImage-said with a french accent, Pretty Pictures,...) Do you want playful? Serious? Elegant? Classic? Look at other photog/film names. I have friends at Ruckus Film. They're fun to work with. Rainstorm Pictures, Sundance, ...Here's a site to look at: http://www.ifta-online.org/AboutIFTA/member_directory.aspx
Good luck! I can't wait to hear what you come up with!!
hey girl! i'm not sure i necessarily have a better idea, but i do have a few thoughts... since your name is pretty long, and our experience with interviwing photogs for our engagement & wedding photos was difficult enough w/out having to remember names, i would go with something short, sweet, and memorable. and you'll obviously need to tailor your name to your target market. as the post above mentioned, almost every photog i've come across names their business by using their full name...i think if you choose something short & catchy, you'll be more memorable and have leg up!
Me? I am a photographer who has found a way to combine my love for the creative and my penchant for words by taking pictures that exist to tell your stories.
Stories that we feel in people. Stories that we see in places. Stories that we discover in things.
People, places, and things are the characters of a greater story. And somewhere between the meeting of light, texture, and movement is where the heart of the story truly lies. It's real life. And it's all these things which make up the reason I spend my days behind the tiny viewfinder of a camera and consider myself blessed beyond words.
