Timeframes sounds great.

Focus sounds a little too generick and could get "lost in the shuffle"

TimeframesPhotography, as a .net or .biz is available. It doesn't really have to be a .com.
TIMEFRAMESPHOTOS.com is also available

Don't do FOCUS PHOTOGRAPHY there are a lot of studios called some varation of that - which is a doubled edged sword. You'll have people confussing you for them. Might mean new customers that didnt bother to get the name right. Might mean mad customers that felt dooped that your name was so close.

Personally, I'd go fo unique and memorable...The 2nd choice is the best one listed here. You might want to keep playing around. You could also do a spin off your name and the store Tiffany's. Use tiffany blue and similar font - and then charge a lot. You'll have an automatic seque/ price & quality expectation.

Just think about things around you in your life and in the way you do your photography. What do you like, etc? A while back I told my kids that if I ever started a business I would use there names. Well I have 4 kids, Josh, Morgan, Connor and Cole. Thus JMC2 Photography was born. So look around, and pay attention and it will popout at you when you find the right one.

Tiffany L's Studio - Sound's like a diamond studio in the rough. I'm all for youing your name. You should stand behind your name and they will remember your company name better if you use is some how.
"Studio" is better than Photography in so many different ways.

Good luck Tif
