Business name change to Moments & Co. – why did I do it?

I’VE BEEN ASKED WHY I CHANGED THE NAME OF MY BUSINESS TO MOMENTS & CO., SO I THOUGHT I’D WRITE TO CLARIFY.

When I started my business, the name just came to me, like it was from God. I knew this was the name I wanted and it represented exactly what I wanted to give to my clients – Blessed Moments and Blissful Hearts.

Not long after, a friend asked me what I named my new photography business. When I told him, he said “Wow! That’s a long name.” It was a simple, off-handed comment, but boy did it stick with me.

As time passed I noticed that no one remembered the full name of my business.

People usually shortened it to Blessed Moments, if they could remember that much. They couldn’t even fit the full name on a check.

Every time I noticed this, I’d think back to that statement. “That’s a long name”. But I also knew it was me!

AFTER BEING IN BUSINESS FOR 7 YEARS, SO MUCH CHANGED.

I constantly learned something new about how to photograph and how to run my business. But more importantly, I learned how I wanted to serve my clients, and what I wanted to offer them.

Last year I studied, in person, with a fellow photographer across country (you can read more on that story here), and it changed EVERYTHING for me. Not only did it change how I used my camera, but my mentality soared to a new level. My clients meant more to me than just handing them files that might rot away on their computer, and while I always offered products, it was never a priority.

All of that changed last year. I started making the adjustments that I knew had to happen to give my clients an experience they could enjoy and remember fondly for years to come. I wanted to show them how beautiful their family is and how much more it meant to have images on their walls to remind them of their love for one another.

But with these big changes came the realization that my name no longer suited my business.

Not that I was no longer offering my clients Blessed Moments and Blissful Hearts. Quite the opposite. I felt that now I was doing an even better job of making that happen. But something about the name started to sound cheesy to me, and sounded like a start up company. Not a company that was streamlined, luxury, and providing the best experience along with beautiful photographs.

So my mentor and I discussed a name change.

Something that would say luxury but bring the old name with it. Something to tell my clients exactly what kind of service to expect.
