Hello,
I am opening a studio in the next month and hoping to grow my currently small portrait business (currently named "Portraits by Sarah") and I am looking to make a permanent name change. I photograph seniors, children, families, and weddings. I like the idea of a self named business, but my name isn't really suitable for this... my last name is often mispronounced and is not easily spelled (i.e. found in a phone book) and since I will be getting married soon this is not a suitable option... and my married name will not be either.
I don't like the idea of keeping my first name in the name of the business because I like to stamp/sign each purchased image (and a stamp with just my name appears like it is the subject's name).
I also don't want a name based on my location since I am planning to move after finishing my degree... I want a name that will easily carry with me.
I plan on catering to mid to high end clients and don't want a cliche name like "click" "picture this" or "picture perfect" etc I like the idea of "portrait design" instead of studio, photography etc bc i incorporate a lot of artistic designing into the final images
I know a lot of what I don't want, but I am having trouble finding something that I like... please help
Thank you!
