So I work as a photography assistant and have branched out some on my own. I don't do much on my own because at the time I don't have the equipment. I focus mostly on shoots like bridal, engagement, family and such. I try to avoid weddings at this time because I don't have the equipment I would like to have. I will do them, but I just borrow the equipment needed.
Anyways, to my problem. I cannot come up with a name for myself as a photographer. I'm not sure I want to use Amber Dixon Photography (this will be my married name)... I just think it sounds kinda funny. I am open to any suggestions.
Please go here and check out some of my photography work... http://onewomanweddingshow.blogspot.com/ and please feel free to comment on the photos and leave suggestions there :)
Thanks!!

Hi, I checked your blog out and I must say I liked it. Also here are some ideas on names; Thompson Photography, or Speical Moments like this. Those were the only ones I could come up with. Thanks for this post I thought it was cool.

Thanks! I thought about that, but I'm getting married in 3 months and then I'd have to change the name because I wouldn't be Thompson anymore. I like the Special Moments though... Thanks!

It may take a lot of brainstorming, but I'm sure you'll come up with a good name for your business. You may want to play some brainstorming games to get some good ideas. When my mom and I started a business, we took two hats and a bunch of slips of paper. In one hat we wrote down a bunch of adjectives and in the other hat we wrote down a bunch of nouns. Then we'd pull out one adjective and one noun at a time and put them together. We wrote down all of the names we liked. My boyfriend is a programmer, and he often creates a random word generator when he was to come up with a name for a business. It helps him brainstorm.
If you want to keep your business name as Your Name Photography, or if you already have a business name but you just want a photography pen name- you could try similar brainstorming ideas except with names. Or you could try initials, using the names of family members, etc. I'm sure you'll come up with something that you really like!
