Hi everyone! My name is Kerri Banyas and I am a photographer and owner of Taylor Grey Photography. Don't feel bad if you can't figure out why I named my business after "Taylor Grey".
I receive phone calls all day asking for "Taylor" and though it seems to confuse some people at first, it is quite a beautiful name with a beautiful story. (Atleast to me!!)
The name was thought up by wonderful husband (who has also been responsible for basically naming both of our children). After completing a degree in Psychology and narrowly escaping a life in human services, I decided to turn my hobby into something more and head out on my own as a professional photographer. I was getting all of my affairs in order to declare myself a "real business" and I could not come up with a name. I didn't like naming it after myself---it just didn't seem to flow. I also couldn't think of a name that didn't sound corny or contrived. I had basically given up when Drew just came home and proposed pushing our children's middles names together...and I loved it! It sounded very beautiful and it brought a different feel to my business than my own name seemed to. I also loved that it involved my kids because they are the world to me!
So here I am, owner of a rapidly growing photography business with a beautiful name and I wouldn't change a thing (except maybe my own name now--LOL)!
