What do you call your photography business? If you don't have one, what would you call it? Have a name you thought "If I ever started a photography business, that'd be a great name!"? What is it?

This makes it easier for me to bank. I can get away with not having a business checking account :)

My business card just says: Brent Pennington - Photographer
My website, still a work in process, is "Brent Pennington Photography"

I wanted something more unique than my name, which is a mouthful anyway, but was afraid of picking a name that was already used. Don't know what the deal is on that, if it can become a legal issue or not.

That's my dillema. Ryan Kelm Photography doesn't have a ring to it at all. But I don't want to name it something cheesey or tacky and thought seeing others ideas might inspire me.

not really a business (but would love to be) but I picked sabphotography.com to avoid being confused with a couple other Scott Bacons that are much better photographers.

I actually heard that if you are going to be listed in the phone books it may be helpful to pick a company name that starts with one of the first letters in the alphabet, cause if someone is just calling places they usually do it in order or by what looks most promising. I have done this trying to find other businesses so maybe there is some truth to it, but not sure how much room this leaves for originality.

good luck with it.
