What's in a name?

I'm trying to come up with a name for my business... it's really hard!

So far i have:

  • Captures by Kristin
  • Memories by Kristin
  • Cherished Memories
  • Cherished Memories by Kristin
  • Cherished Moments by Kristin

I like cherished memories by kristin but think it's too long.

Any suggestions??

Warning... brutal honesty below!

TBH I think that Memories is used in a lot of Baby/Wedding photo businesses.

And off the top of my head, I can think of one Treasured Moments by Tanya photography business.

And that style of name makes me think of sickly sweet, blurred edges, kids in flowerpots, soft focus, naff backgrounds, shopping centre kind of photography and everything that I would picture your business not to be.

I'd personally go with something that stands out a bit more. Something that represents your creativity and personality. You're not a soft and fluffy person - you're vibrant, fun and creative and so are your photos.

I like Captures, but I personally wouldn't put by Kristin after it. I'd team it with a random adjective. Crimson Captures Photography. I don't know, that's probably really naff, but hopefully it illustrates what I mean.

haha thank you for your honesty! I completely agree with you! I'm just so stuck & they were the names that came into my head when I thought'photography business'. You're right about them sounding all soft and fluffy tho and that's definitely not me! Better get back to the drawing board... Luckily I have another 6 months up my sleeve!

Hi! Will you still even need a name if you've joined forces with 42South??!!! Congrats by the way!
Don't think I've said that anywhere else...?!!

Well done!
