Legal Question in Constitutional Law in New York

I am recently married. I have not yet changed my name. I would like to use my maiden name or a combination of my maiden and married name professionally. Can I legally do that or will I only be able to use my new married last name? My concern is that professionally not one will recognize me under my married last name.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
