Names like Special Moments Photography, Making Memories, Sick Bucket Photography, Special Snaps are terrible. Not because the words are cheesy, but because you are branding yourself as something quite specific.

In the photo industry, it is more important now that it ever was to create a brand based around you, as a person. People are hiring you, they are choosing you, not your business front. Putting your own name on your business will help prospective clients connect to you, it makes the experience more personal, and they are more confident to come to you as opposed to the stranger from Random Words Photography.

Even if you have your name elsewhere on your website, it's still impersonal not to name your business after yourself. It's almost as if you are creating a front to hide behind, you need to be proud and put your name as the name of your business, as your business is essentially you.

If you don't chose to use your own name, you are separating the business from yourself. I really would just use your name, I'm sure you have a lovely name anyway!

Good luck with your new business.

I was going to post the same link as "Fishmeister" but he beat me to it! Seriously, you need to read that article and rethink your "catchy" name idea. Cutesy, catchy names typically only get you kids and adults with no money wanting to use you... and I do mean USE you. They will want everything for nothing and then complain about that! You will not be perceived as professional with such names, and will be treated appropriately.
