Question Difference of Infference?

I'm starting to think of a name for my photography businaess. I was just wondering what the differences were between all the different names. What do each of these words conote?
  1. Imagery
  2. Photos
  3. Shots
  4. Photography
  5. Images
For example, let's say my name is Rina Minca. So, what's the difference between all of these names for a photography business:
Rina's Imagery
Rina's Photo's
Rina's Shots
rina's photography
Photography by Rina
Rina's Images

Does it make a difference if I'm a studio/portrait business, or if I'm a still life photographer, or if I want to sell my images, if I'm an art photographer?

I was just wondering.

Thanks for all your help!

I personally wouldn't use the word shots. It is too comparable to shooting a gun.

I would keep it simple and stick with Photography or Photographer nobody is going to confuse those terms.
