What's new

I hate naming things. I'm not creative enough for that s*%&

When in doubt, use thesaurus.com. I typed in flaunt, and looked at synonyms. Here's my favorites:

1 - Flourish

2 - Whip It Out/Wave Around (For your men's boudoir brand)
 
I use a variation of my initials/name; I can use that for my sports related photos or fine art work. I think people get to know you by your name, if you come up w/a clever business name will they know it's you? How will they associate it with you?

I like to keep things simple, I'd probably think about some combination of your name (full/real name or e.rose) like - Photos by e.rose, Seniors by e.rose, something like that. Using rose seems more geared to women, you could maybe adapt that for boudoir photography.

Have you looked into domain names that are available? In case you might want to have your own website someday (unless you do already).

1. Yes.
2. See attached paragraph
3. Yes

Additional Notes:

I already run my business (registered and everything! :lmao: ) under "First and Last Name Photography".

What I'm warning to do is build the women's line (Or my seniors, I haven't decided which) separate from the main name, but it will still be very much associated with my name.

Eventually ... some day... I would like to have a website set up with a landing page or something that will give you a choice of which brand you want to explore.

Clicking on "Non-cheesy Senior Brand Name by First and Last Name" will take you to my site dedicated to seniors. Clicking on "Non-cheesy Women's Brand Name by First and Last Name" will take you to the site dedicated to my women's line.

Something like that.

I'm not worried about people not knowing it's me, because again, my name will still be attached to it.

The same friends who had "Flaunt" as their boudoir name, had "Husband and Wife Last Name Photography" for their weddings, and "Ampersand" for their senior line. They had no issues getting clients, because they associated all those brands with themselves.

What I DON'T want is to keep it ALL under the same umbrella, on the same site, and have my senior gallery right next to my women's gallery that may have boudoir images in it. That is a MAAAAAAAAAAJOR no, no. So it *needs* to be separate.

*Also*... "Rose" is out of the question.

My name isn't Rose. That's my middle name.

Once upon a time I was running as "Emily Rose Photography", because I *love* my middle name. It's my mother's name and my grandmother's name and I love it.

However that is horribly common and just 2 hours away from me, there was another Emily Rose Photography that was being confused with me and vice versa.

Not a good situation.

So I now use my last name, because it's way less common, and even less common among photographers. -- I spent some time searching before I committed to it. LOL.

Not to mention, the women's line is NOT...

I repeat, the women's line IS NOT... just boudoir. Not at all. I'm just anticipating that will be SOME of it... but it is not STRICTLY a boudoir line... and I anticipate that probably will actually be the least of what I do concerning women's portraiture, if I pull this off the right way.

So I need a name for that, which communicates that it's geared towards women, however doesn't sound exclusively "boudoir", so "sexy, sultry" names are out of the question, because that excludes the possibility of beauty-based portraiture.

As a matter of fact, when I begin to build up my new portfolio for that, and launch the brand, I probably won't have any boudoir in it at all, the first time around.

I switched from the womens line because I could only come up with typical immature dude stuff. :(

Wait.. it's immature dude stuff night and I'm just finding out now! Jeez. Seriously guys, we need to get with sending out these memo's.

Memo's are a lady's job, not a dude job. THAT'S why you didn't get it. DUH.

I switched from the womens line because I could only come up with typical immature dude stuff. :(

:lmao:

::pats you on the head::

It's okay Jaca. We can still be friends. :lol:


Ya.. um.. well you can be friends. Just be careful patting him on the head like that. I mean I can't really get into it but you can take Lefty's word for it.. bad idea. Lol

:lmao:
