So, here's the deal. When our business was first born in Spring 2007 - to be real - as passionate and as excited as we were to start things up, we didn't have a clue what we were doing. Under the name "Cheyenne Schultz Photography", we began to brand our business starting with the generic blogger template - it all began with THIS BLOG POST, where my only commenters were from my mom and dad. :)
With some randomly chosen colors, we threw together a sad little logo and smacked it on a business card. And if you could see my "portfolio", which consisted of a $25 picture album from Michael's craft store and some lose prints stuck inside, you would laugh your tail off.
But hey - we all gotta start somewhere, right? :)
Through the past two years, we've managed to get our brand to a decent place with an intentional logo, a professional website, and some pretty sweet sample wedding albums. However, we've now outgrown that "decent" brand and are ready to move on to something bigger and much better.
Back in 2007, Geoff's role was primarily as a supporter to me as I brought my new found passion to life. Starting out, he came with me to a all of my booked portrait sessions (get this - he second shot with our point and shoot camera...ah, humble beginnings) mostly because I was afraid to go alone. And while we never intended for it to play out this way, through the past two years, it has become just as much HIS business as it has been mine.
All of this to say, the time has come that we rebrand our business.....as a husband and wife team. :)
Last week our designer - Erica Anne - led us (and five of our friends) through a brainstorming session to begin the rebrand process. One of our first goals is to choose our name - out of our session came the three options listed below.
Here's where we could use your help - because we can't decide, we'd like to know what some of YOU think! Please leave a comment below to "vote" for your favorite new business name (the word "photography" may or may not be used - we're not sure yet). Many thanks!!!
***EDIT*** quite a few people have suggested "Schultz Photography" - we definitely had considered it, but in the end, decided it is a little too formal for the direction we're headed. Thanks everyone for your comments! :)

Although completely unrelated to the content of this post - just for kicks - here's a little video Geoff shot (with the video feature on the 5D Mark II) and edited from our "dress up like a cow, get free chicken" day at Chick-fil-A last Friday evening with one of my favorite families - The Hubatka's. Enjoy!
