Why "Pawsburgh"?I've been asked many times about my business name. Sometimes I even have been asked, "Where's Pawsburgh?" Some people don't even take it as a business name, they think it's a location! I mention the story behind my name briefly in my "About Me" biography, but I'd also like to address it in this separate post.
So many photographers use their own name and add Photography. I need to be different. My own name is very common and also negatively famous, and I like something catchy. I read once that somebody said, "you can't trust a business who doesn't use their own name." Really? It's a personal decision what you want to call your own business! I'm not "hiding behind" a name. I want you to remember it! I want it to be unique. I wanted to make business cards because I was asking random dog owners if I could photograph their dogs out in public and on walks! Only one person ever turned me down. But I wanted a way to tell them who I am and offer them a way to see and purchase the images. Julie and I brainstormed name ideas and Pawsburgh was born in 2013! I immediately knew what I wanted my logo to be, and I had a graphic designer friend, Shane at Henderson Graphic Design and Illustration, create my vision for me. At the same time, I had sold real estate for 10 years and was working for another agent. Architecture has always been another passion of mine since I was very little. Real estate and showing houses fulfilled a dream for me. But it was time to combine my photography skill with my passion and add property photography. Then hmmmm.....what to do about that name! I'm sure real estate agents look at me funny when I tell them they need to hire Pawsburgh Photography to make their homes look their best! (I'm used to funny looks so I don't mind!)
Whether you have a space, or a place (Pittsburgh is my favorite!), a face, or a pet, or a combination of those...contact Pawsburgh for your photography needs!
