So I've finally decided on a name for my company and am currently working on a logo and business identity. Choosing a name for a business has the be the hardest thing to make a final decision on and such a long thought process. I wanted the business to contain my name in some form or another and to tell people what services I am offering. I thought about using initials, my first and last name, my first and middle name, just my last name, photography and design, studio......soooo many ideas and only one name to create!! I have finally decided to go with the name "Patricia Sampson Photodesign". I think that it's nice and simple, straight to the point and contains all of the elements that I was hoping to include. Now for the hard part....creating a logo!!! If anyone has any ideas send them my way!!!! I would love to hear them

I've been doing a lot of shooting lately and have been extremely happy with my results. I had a wonderful session with the other day. She is such a doll to work with!! Such a beautiful model and a great personality to boot!! If anyone has the opportunity to work with her I would totally recommend it! I feel like my photography skills are evolving and that I'm finally getting the types of results that I have been striving for. I still have so much to learn, but that's what I love about photography...I learn something new everyday.

I'm finally starting to receive more page views and messages here on DA. I feel like I'm beginning to be a part of the wonderful community of artists on this amazing site! A big thank you to everyone for the encouraging comments...keep em coming!! I'm considering investing in a subscription so that I can spice up my journal entries, but I haven't completely decided yet. Would anyone recommend a subscription, or does it really make a difference?? Just wondering

If you have continued reading this far....Thanks!! I'm gonna go be lazy now for the rest of the day (I've been battling the flu that is going around), but new images will be submitted soon!! Oh, and I'm going to submit some of my graphic design work over the next week to get some opinions from everyone.

I hope that everyone had a great weekend!!
Patricia
