Hi everyone! MY friend( and next door neighbor) have small children. I am blessed to stay at home with my three year old daughter McKinley. But my friend works away from her home but also has a three year old daughter and a newborn. She used to do photography and I have been doing cakes for a few months now. Anyway we are comptimplating starting a home based business so that when our girls go to school next year we can be working out of our home for extra income and FUN. But also available to our children when they are at home also. Her name is Stephanie Robin. And my name is Robin. So we also have that in common. Does anyone have any ideas that we could use as a business name that would incorporate her photography and my cakes? We thought something you know for brides to do their wedding cake and pictures... that kind of idea. birthday parties, baby showers etc.. Any ideas to help us move along would be so helpful. I am racking my brain.

There was a photography place around here named Robin's Nest. You could also be Rockin' Robins.

However the is a home decorating shop here named that. And I really love Capture the Moment Creative Cakes and Photography. I wrote them all down so she can look at them when she comes over.

Sweet Memories?

Incorporates the sweets/cake and the photography to capture the memories.

This would be easy for each of you to use on your own too, for example, if she were to go to a phographer's convention or enter work in a photography exhibit or competition, she wouldn't have to explain why her business name has "cakes" in the name.
Same for you, if you enter cakes in a competition or something non-bridal related, like corporate events, it works for you alone just as well as both of you together.

You could have a tag line for both of you "Cakes and Photography".

Then if you each need to use the name on your own, she could ad like "Pictures for a lifetime" and you "Creative cakes" or whatever you like to use to describe your work.

Maybe you could use on of these tag lines:

"cakes and photos to sweeten your memories"
"photos and cakes to make your memories sweet"
"cakes and photos for the moments in your life"
"cakes for the moment, photos of the moment"

Before choosing your business name, make sure a URL is available for it. You don't want to set everything up only to find that someone doing the same thing as you already has your web site address.
