So I have no idea how many people will actually read this, but to those who do, I would love some feedback.

A few people have asked me to write a bit about myself so I guess I'll start there. I am a 29 year old female who up until this point in my life has felt lost and confused. All through my twenties people kept asking me what I was going to do with my life and everytime I heard that question I cringed. I really had no idea! I have always been a creative individual and was happiest when I was able to let that side of me fluorish. But how does someone use their creative talents and make enough money to put food on the table? I attended the Nova Scotia Community College and took the Applied Communication Arts program and then Graphic Design. I loved being in school and creating and learning. I also loved being surrounded by other artists. Then I finished my programs and did nothing with the skills that I had learned. I spent all of my early twenties doing everything that I could to live a "normal" life and keep everyone happy. I was married, working an assistant manager position in retail and just going through the motions. I finally woke up one day and realized that I was no longer being true to myself and that I was really unhappy and depressed. Four years ago, my husband and I split up, and I found myself on a new path. I was no longer lost in someone else and I was given the chance to look at life and what I really wanted to do. The divorce was tough and starting over was scary, but I faced it head on. I started singing and writing music again, something that I had abandoned for such a long time. I started taking photos and creating art on my computer. I became interested in making jewelry and would spend hours playing with beads and coming up with new designs. I was finding myself and letting the artist in me out to play.

When things really started to come together and I felt that I had a hold on everything, my best friend of 22 years passed away in a tragic car accident on August 11th 2005. Of all the things that I had been through in my life up until this point, losing her was the hardest. She was my biggest fan and would always encourage me to be creative, be myself and to be happy. After her death, something in me snapped. I now knew just how short life was and that we only get one chance. I needed to do the things that I loved and take chances.

It still took me a little while to get myself together. I kept working my crappy job to pay my bills but I got through the days knowing that I was about to do something different..something that I loved. I became ill in November of last year and was put off work by my doctor for four months. It was actually the best thing that could have happened. It forced me to slow down and gave me the time that I needed to pull myself together. In April of this year, I decided that I wasn't going back to work. I finally felt that it was time to make a move and open my own business. I decided to open a photography/graphic design business and give it everything that I had to make it a success. I've spent the past few months working on a portfolio of work, and am now working on a business identity for myself.

So that is how I ended up here, and here is where I need your help. I'm working on a business identity (logo, business cards, posters, website etc) and I am totally stuck with deciding on a name for myself. Here is what I have it narrowed to:

1 - PDS Photo & Design
2 - PDS Studio
3 - Patricia Dawn Photo & Design
4 - Sampson Studio
5 - ????

I need your help!! If anyone has any suggestions for a business name for myself I would love to hear them! I'm having a really hard time deciding so any input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for taking the time to read this and thank you to all of the wonderful people who have helped me in this journey. I love you all so much
