What should I name my photography business and website?

I am trying to set up a website for my photography business and I need to pick a domain name and business name. I am a photographer for weddings, maternity photos, modeling shoots, special events, etc. Should I just name my business after me? Example with fake name: Alison Patrickson Photography and make my website: www. AlisonPatricksonPhotography .com OR Should I give my business a name even though I am the one and only photographer? Example: Special Events Photography and make my website: www. SpecialEventsPhotography .com

1. I would go with just your name, it makes it more personable. Plus it really gets your name out there more than Generic name photography. I have lived in several towns and see names like the one you listed as a business in a few of these cities. Go with your name and list all the things you do and I think you will do fine. Good Luck
2. "Picture this"
3. I would think a name for the business that would stand out would be preferable. Something like "The Flasher" or "The Flash" or maybe "A Flash in the Pan". Obviously not a name that would be a negative name, like "Blanks for the memories" or "A shot in the Dark"
4. whaterver you want to do is in your doing no one eleses.
5. Go with your name. Market yourself as an individual, a professional photographer and not a company. It gives you more the cachet of an artist.
