usually people go for the "Name Surname Photography" option.

If you're in business, with your business name. If not, your name is fine. If you want to get fancy, you could go with "© Your Name".

Or whatever you want really. It's your watermark. It can read whatever you want it to read. I didnt want mine to just be my name like everyone else's. So, my thing is Creative Imagery by Amber. It still has my first name, but its not JUST my name. Make it your own, and don't listen to what everyone else says.

I might have to try that....

A photographer I know used to use a hilarious watermark on her clients' online sneak peeks. It said, "Do Not Copy or I Will T.P. Your House".
