    Cool. Might hire you to take some family pics in a field where we are all dressed in khakis with white shirts and barefoot. Seems to be a popular style :D

    There are two places that I know of in town that are big enough to drive a truck into. I have a few outdoor locations that are easy to get to but you'll have to drive in the dirt... :boink:

    do you need to add families/ senior/ portrait ? I would omit it and focus on the photo word or try to use a broader term. do you do sports events ? outdoors ?..etc..

    From a marketing standpoint, the logo and picture looks pro and new/young but the word "senior" has an "old" connotation. It seems to go the opposite. See what I mean ?

    This is where it gets fuzzy. My first photographic loves are action sports and documentary work. There are a number of things going against me that prevent my doing them full time. Age and finances being the two biggest. The second part of this has to do with the business of photography itself. The days of marketing yourself as a jack of all trades, master of none are long gone. The technology has gotten too good and there are too many people labeling themselves as professional photographers.

    The way I see the market now, today, is that you have to specialize. You need to create a unique niche with a unique vision and build everything around that. Your outward appearance needs to be a one trick pony and you need to do that trick consistently, very very well. That's not to say that you should put yourself into a rut and get stale. You still need to be more creative than the photographer down the street and push that envelope just a little bit further with every image you make.

    I guess what I'm saying is that I can't be a generalist. The words are there to put some specificity around the work that I do. Could there be other choices? I'm sure there are but again, generating buzz words isn't a strong point of mine.

    Totally get it. Not sure what you could change it to as it feels like a market standard.

    You should specialize in taking pictures of guys and their babies. And by babies, I mean their trucks. :D

    Where I live, every girl that didn't go to college but took a photoshop class in high school is a "professional photographer".

    None of these chicks have even studied photography and don't even take great pictures they just edit them to death in photoshop/lightroom.

    Is this really a thing now? People who's only experience is posting selfies on IG posing as professionals...I'm sure that has to annoy the hell out of you also as I can tell you take pride in your work.

    They become photographers after they fail at being a Jewelry "Designer".
