This wasn't an easy decision to make. I'm not naive. I know there are plenty of SAHMs that have a fancy schmancy DSLR camera who claim themselves to be photographers (hey, we all have to start somewhere). I also know I may not be accepted into this profession by some already established photographers because they might think I fall into that category. I had to put those fears aside and focus on sharing my love and talent instead of what's preventing me from doing so.
Being new to the area has presented a challenge in finding a great location to work with. There are so many beautiful fields and nature surrounding my community that scream to be the background for a fabulous family shoot. Alas they all come with a "do not enter" sign, fence in the way, or a gigantic motor speedway off in the distance. Recently I offered a few friends a photo shoot if they came up with an awesome and/or original idea for shooting locations. Thanks to my awesome friends who are helping me with this task. I now see why Jessica Ceason was having such a hard time adapting to life back in the states.
In addition to location, I have been deciding on my company name so that I can officially begin marketing myself. While I love my "Simply E3" logo because it is fitting to my product and personality, I'm not sure if that is the best for an official business license. Most photographers and artists for that matter seem to have their full name. Mine is a mouth full. Both Elizabeth E. Ellenbecker and Elizabeth Ellenbecker do not roll off the tongue as easily as Simply E3.
This is where I need the help of my readers to insert their own opinion. Imagine yourself as a potential client or utilize your own marketing experience and help me decide which direction I should go in. Put your suggestion in the box below since I can't figure out how to insert a poll.
Option A: Simply E3

I want to thank all of my friends, old and new, that have helped me with this decision. I'm very excited about what's to come and I can't wait to share it with you!
