Designer Vivienne Tam

Vivienne Tam, honored by Forbes Magazine as one of the “25 Top Chinese-Americans in Business”, is an international designer known for her culture-bridging, east-meets-west approach to design as well as pioneering global collaborations marrying fashion with technology and renowned brands.  Tam effortlessly blends her cultural roots with a modern design vocabulary recognized for its artistry.

She visited Houston and was so inspired by the city that she created a Houston line.  The Vivienne Tam Houston Line debuted at the River Oaks District shop Bannou on May 4.  I was honored to capture this special debut and luncheon followed by a fashion show.

Here is a little bit of the Houston Chronicle interview with Vivienne Tam.  Click for the entire Houston Chronicle article.  See the post on Vogue for the entire Houston line.

Why do a collection inspired by Houston?

A: I visited Houston and fell in love with the diversity of the people, the images I saw. It gave me so much inspiration that people in Houston come from all different parts of the world.

What do you want people to take away from your designs?

A: I feel like I’m a bridge between different cultures. I get so much joy when people say they love my designs and wear them. So much joy.

Let’s be honest 👇🏻

If you’re scaling your business in 2026, but your photos are still from 2021… something doesn’t align.

Outdated visuals do more than make your website look old — they quietly tell potential clients that your business hasn’t evolved.

📉 They can lower trust.
📉 Confuse your audience about who you are today.
📉 And make your brand feel disconnected from the level you’re actually operating at.

You’ve worked hard to grow your business — your visuals should reflect that.

Authentic, elevated, and aligned imagery shows that you’re confident in your direction and ready for new opportunities.

✨ Let’s create photos that position you where you’re headed, not where you’ve been.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If you’re ending 2025 with the same headshot you had in 2022, there’s a good chance it’s no longer telling the full story of who you are today.

You’ve grown. Your career has evolved. Your confidence, presence, and expertise have too.

And your headshot should reflect the current version of you — not the one from three years ago.

Here’s why an updated headshot matters:

✨ It builds trust
✨ It supports your career growth
✨ It aligns with major milestones

It’s time for a new headshot if you’ve ⬇️

✔️ Been promoted
✔️ Changed roles or industries
✔️ Stepped into leadership
✔️ Started a new business
✔️ Made a noticeable change in your appearance
✔️ Updated your personal brand
✔️ Outgrown the “old you”

✨ Bonus tip:

A good rule of thumb — if your headshot is more than 2 years old or doesn’t look like the person someone would see walking into a meeting today… it’s time.

You deserve a photo that represents who you are now — confident, polished, and stepping into your next chapter.

Here's how I can help you elevate your business next year 👇🏻

My branding sessions go far beyond “just photos.” We’ll start with a personalized consultation to talk through your brand colors, style, and message — then plan a session that feels intentional, aligned, and true to you.

Each branding experience includes professional hair and makeup services and multiple looks, so you can capture different sides of your brand — from approachable and friendly to bold and confident.

You can choose from two session options designed to fit your goals:

✨ Basic Branding Session: 3 looks, 9 final images, and 1.5 hours of photography.

✨ Premium Branding Session: 4 looks, 12 final images, 2 hours of photography, plus a branding video to bring your story to life.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a full collection of cohesive, high-quality visuals that represent your next chapter — confident, polished, and unmistakably you.

If 2026 is your year to scale, let’s make sure your photos reflect it.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

So many people wait to book their headshot because they feel like they need to “fix” something first.

Lose a little weight. Clear their skin. Feel more confident. Look more put-together.

But here’s the truth:

The version of you that exists right now is already worthy of being seen.

The best headshots don’t come from perfection — they come from authenticity.

Real expression. Real connection. Real confidence… even if you don’t quite feel it walking in.

During every session, I guide you through posing, lighting, and expression so you feel relaxed, supported, and comfortable — because that’s when the magic happens. You don’t have to know what to do. You don’t have to feel “ready.” You just have to show up.

✨ If you want a headshot that feels like you, I’d love to help.

If you’re hosting a holiday party this year… there’s something you don’t want to overlook 👇🏻

Your team is already together, dressed up, and in great spirits — which makes it the perfect moment to update everyone’s headshots. No juggling schedules, no tracking people down, no pulling anyone out of meetings. Just quick, polished photos your team can pop in for, and then head right back to the party.

It’s an easy way to add value to your celebration and give your employees something they’ll actually use heading into the new year. And with my streamlined event setup (and zero admin work for you), the process is effortless from start to finish.
