In defense of your “professionalism”…I work here in Los Angeles, and I’ve looked at my share of headshots/portfolios and I think your portrait work (in particular senior photos) bests some of the shit I see out here who’ve labeled themselves professional. Your shots are well conceived, crafted and natural.That is the toughest nut to crack, since most amateurs throw EVERY single filter, color pack, presets, gimmicks in hopes of NOT seeing the real image. Your work doesn’t have all that nonsense. So personally, I would consider you a professional.

In terms of naming your photo sight, I think just your real name seems to suit your style. I think what ErisedDawn was implying is that the big dogs just use their names. I once had a girlfriend try to talk me out of naming my photo sight “Pudgy Bunny Photography.” She was right. I was wrong.
