Women-Owned Businesses | Houston Headshot Photographer

Women-Owned Businesses

The number and success of women-owned businesses is growing in America.  According to the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, women own 4 out of every 10 businesses in the U.S.  As of 2018, there were 12.3 million women-owned companies in the U.S. as compared to 402,000 in 1972.  Women are a major part of the business industry in the United States and it seems to be growing.  Small businesses are a big part of this.  Women should empower other women to do what they love and enjoy financial success along the way.  As a photographer, I am part of local, regional, and national groups of photographers (men and women) who support each other and help to build and foster the industry.   It’s important to me that other women find success in their businesses, whatever the industry.  I hope that you will support a women-owned small business the next time you have the opportunity.

Headshots for Roxana and her team

Roxana is my hair and makeup artist.  I’ve known her for years and we’ve worked together more lately than ever before.  She started selling the makeup that she uses – Limelife by Alcone.  I’ve started using the products as well and I love them!  She can tell you all about the benefits of using the products.  The success, though, that she has achieved in a very little time is amazing.  Roxana has built an entire team of consultants and they are supporting each other, each with their own small business.  We did a photo session for the team so everyone could have a headshot and then we took several group shots as well.  About the group photo, Roxana says, “I see love, unity, teamwork, dedication and a group of strong like-minded women!  I never intended to build a team when I embarked on this journey but let me tell you it’s been the most magical part about this…but most of all it has allowed me to dream again and have these wonderful women in my life!”

🎓 Planning senior photos? Start with my Senior Session Guide!

I put it together to help you plan your session—from 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? Don’t 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 now—your personality, interests, style, sports, hobbies, and everything that made these last four years yours.

By spring, the focus starts shifting toward what’s next—college decisions, future plans, and all the excitement that comes with finishing senior year.

And then comes the cap and gown. 🎓 The final milestone before one chapter officially closes and another begins.

Senior year goes FAST. Take the photos. 🤍

Great headshot lighting doesn’t need to be complicated—it needs to be intentional. 📸

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 don’t need to reinvent the wheel at every session.

That consistency is especially important when you’re photographing corporate teams and need every headshot to look cohesive—even when people are photographed at different times.

If you’re 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.

💡 Grab the guide through the link in my bio and save this reel for the next time you’re setting up your lights!

Your business doesn’t need to be “more established” first.

You don’t 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 you’re building, that’s reason enough to update them.

A branding session gives you more than a new headshot—it 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.

We’ll plan the looks, the location, the shots you need, and how you’ll use them.

You just have to finally put it on the calendar. 😉

You’re not supposed to know what to do in front of the camera—that’s my job. 🙌🏼

I’ll tell you where to put your hands, how to angle your body, when to shift your weight, where to look, and yes… I’ll probably demonstrate it myself first. 😂

Good posing isn’t about memorizing a bunch of complicated positions. It’s about making small adjustments that help you look confident, approachable, and like yourself.

And if you want a little head start before your next headshot or branding session, I put together a free guide with 5 Power Poses Every Professional Should Know.

These are simple poses you can use for professional photos, speaking engagements, events, or anytime a camera gets pointed your way.

📸 Grab the free guide through the link in my bio—and save this reel as proof that you will never be left standing in front of my camera wondering what to do with your hands. 😂
