š Planning senior photos? Start with my Senior Session Guide!
I put it together to help you plan your sessionāfrom what to wear and what to bring to all the little details that make your photos feel like you. Grab it through the link in my bio!
And one thing I always encourage seniors to think about? Donāt document just one moment of senior year.
So much changes between the beginning of the school year and graduation.
Fall is about who you are right nowāyour personality, interests, style, sports, hobbies, and everything that made these last four years yours.
By spring, the focus starts shifting toward whatās nextācollege decisions, future plans, and all the excitement that comes with finishing senior year.
And then comes the cap and gown. š The final milestone before one chapter officially closes and another begins.
Senior year goes FAST. Take the photos. š¤
šø Class of 2027: Grab my Senior Session Guide through the link in my bio and start planning your senior photos!
Great headshot lighting doesnāt need to be complicatedāit needs to be intentional. šø
Where you place your light, how you position your reflector, and understanding what each one is actually doing can be the difference between a headshot that feels fine and one that looks clean, crisp, and polished.
And once you find setups that work? You donāt need to reinvent the wheel at every session.
That consistency is especially important when youāre photographing corporate teams and need every headshot to look cohesiveāeven when people are photographed at different times.
If youāre a photographer working on your headshot lighting, I put together a FREE guide with 3 Lighting Setups for Flawless Headshots that you can reference when planning your next session.

š¤š¼ Meet Stacie Coleman!
Stacie is a familiar face here in The Woodlands and works with Project Beacon, a local nonprofit providing resources and support for adults with autism. š¤
For her recent headshot session, we made sure to capture the classicsāa polished, traditional gray background that can work just about anywhere.
But we didnāt stop there. šš
We also brought in pink and blue backgrounds for a few images that feel brighter, more playful, and full of personality.
Because professional headshots do not have to be boring.
Your headshot should make sense for your role and where you plan to use it, but it should also feel like you. Your background, wardrobe, expression, and overall style can all work together to complement your personality and your organizationās brand aesthetic.
I love the variety we created for Stacieāand I especially love that she now has options depending on where and how she wants to show up.
Thank you for trusting me with your headshots, Stacie! It was such a pleasure having you in front of my camera. šø
Ready for a headshot that feels a little more like you? Head to the link in my bio to start planning your session.
Your business doesnāt need to be āmore establishedā first.
You donāt need to lose the weight, finish the website, perfect your wardrobe, or wait until you feel 100% ready.
If your current photos no longer reflect the level of business youāre building, thatās reason enough to update them.
A branding session gives you more than a new headshotāit gives you a library of intentional, on-brand images you can actually use across your website, social media, marketing, speaking opportunities, and everything in between.
Weāll plan the looks, the location, the shots you need, and how youāll use them.
You just have to finally put it on the calendar. š

The #1 thing I hear from seniors? āI donāt know how to pose.ā šš»
Good news: you donāt need to. Thatās my job. š¤
You donāt have to practice poses in the mirror or spend hours saving inspiration on Pinterest before your session. Iāll guide you through where to put your hands, how to shift your weight, when to move, where to lookāall of it.
Weāll mix the classic poses with sitting, walking, twirling, laughing, and plenty of movement so your final gallery has variety without feeling forced.
Save this Senior Girl Posing Guide for a little inspiration, but remember: the best poses are the ones that still feel like you.
