personal name or company name in photography watermark?
Joves wrote: I would guess that since this is business that you would want to use the businesses name, since the business is essentially you. Now if I was giving away photos to friends, and family, then I would change it to my name. I would not so much worry about the date part of it, aside from perhaps the year, and a Copyright mark. Then you will be good to go.

Just look at it this way. Put your name on your I'm just shooting this for fun photography, and the business name on your I'm making money photography. That way you have the best of both worlds.
