Name My Company!!!

You already know what a huge part your support plays in my life, how you´ve encouraged me to pick up my first camera, apply to photo school and start shooting weddings, portraits and editorials. My life has changed forever and I´m ridiculously excited to enter the next part of my journey which is founding my own photography company! :)

Yes! The time is almost here. I spend every free minute of my day working on my business plan, branding ideas, social media plans, budgeting and improving my skills but there is one tiny detail I just can´t figure out. The name of my company! And this is where you come into the picture! I decided to start a competition here on the blog to find the perfect name for my fun little company! YES! You get to name it! I have some ideas floating in my head already, but I´m not quite sure about any of them so I´ll let you decide! ;)

(I know that most photography companies have the name of their owners, but the thing is, my family name is unpronounceable, has all kinds of weird characters in it and overall it just wouldn´t work so I need to come up with a made up company name which would represent me as photographer and blogger.)
Here is how it´s gonna work. In the first part of the competition I´m accepting name ideas! Just leave a comment on this post with a name that you think would be creative, memorable and represent me well along with your contact details. (you can check some of my previous works HERE) You have one week to come up with something fantabulous, the submissions will close on Wednesday, 15th of June, midnight CET. 

Once we have all the submissions, I´ll choose my five favorites. These may or may not include some of my own names I have so far (I´ll not tell you until the results are in, I wouldn´t want to influence you in any ways ;)). In the second part of the competition from the 16th to the 22nd of June you get to vote for my top 5 and whichever name gets the most votes, that will be the name of my company! :D 

But of course there are no competition without prizes to win, so I themed up with some great companies to bring you an amazing package to fight for! The winner will receive:

- A set of Totally Rad Photoshop Actions or Lightroom Presets - my absolute favorite post processing tools, they make magic with my photos. The winner gets to choose any of their product packages (worth $149)

- A $100 gift card which you can use toward purchasing the Theit Bossy Bag, the trendiest camera bag on the market! (this is what I´ll be rocking very soon too! ;)

- The cute Just Camera Necklace, courtesy of Asian iCandy

- An I heart MY BLOG tote from me :)

The winner will get a package worth almost $300! Get your creative juices flowing, mindpencils sharpened and submit your names and help me shape my future business. If you have several ideas, great! The more options, the better!

If in the end a name is chosen with which I came up with, a winner will be  randomly drawn from the pool of people who submitted ideas/voted!

To help you get started I created this little wordboard with some indicators on the kind of business I want to run. It will be mainly targeted towards woman between 20 - 30 looking to take editorial style beauty portraits, brides looking for rocking engagement and wedding pictures and momma-to-bes looking for cute belly shots and baby pics. I want to make pictures that look like they are from pages of glossy magazines.

I´m over the moon excited and cannot wait to see what you´ll come up with! I'd love for you to help spread the word about this competition, the more people enters the better chances I have to find the PERFECT name! :) THANK YOU for being such an important part of my journey!
