Hypothetically...

Let's say I have a "friend" who really enjoys photography and would love to do something more with it someday. She is crazy and eccentric and LOVES pregnancy and birth. Sick I know. I don't understand her. She would love to make this into a little business someday but doesn't have a cool name for it. Any ideas???? She would specialize in maternity, birth (yes, I do mean the actual birth! It can be really beautiful I promise. I mean she says that at least.) and newborn pictures. The name would need to represent that style of photos.
We need help coming up with a name! Can you help us out????? Feel free to use the "Anonymous" comment section although I would love it if you would leave your name. :)
And because a post is always better with a picture. Here is a sneak peek at the maternity shoot I did yesterday!

What about baby love? I love the newest pic! so different than your last ones... each session getting so much cooler! good luck!

I personally think if you are going to own a business, especially one that you are 100% in, you should incorporate it using your own name...such as A Tonagel Photography. I love the idea, love the subject matter, and am sure you'll do great. Bellies to babies is darn cute and could be your "tag line", on your business card and your advertising, under your name but YOU are the product, your creativity and your vision. Besides, using your name helps people remember your business name..you are already in the phone book! haha! Love it. Good luck!!!

how much will you charge for a maternity photo shoot? my sis in law is pregnant w/ her second baby and i think that would make a great gift.

Anonymous: Still working on figuring out prices. Right now I would just charge you enough to cover my gas and a little of my time since I am very much in the learning stage of things. Email me at amandatonagel@yahoo.com so I know where you are located to give you a figure.
Rachel: would LOVE to photograph a birth! Not sure how all the details will work out with my kiddos etc but we can talk! :)
Thanks everyone on the suggestions! I think I will start working on a blog/website and let you know when it is up and going.

Amanda,

I am Jeni Mumma's sister, Tami, and I want you to know how much I enjoy your blog. I love to keep up with Jeni's kids and their friends and their families, etc. You seem to have an extraordinary gift and I, for one, would have loved to have had my pregnancy, delivery, etc. captured on film in the way you are capturing it. Those days are MOST PRECIOUS and somehow, we don't always appreciate them while we are in the moment. Your pictures capture those moments. That being said, I think a good name for your biz would be:

BABEELICIOUS! Created by: ____________ (Parents Names) with a lot of help from God.....
