Best Environmental Portraits

Headshots can be all manner of things depending on your particular brand and usage needs.  If your brand is professional and formal, your headshot should be too!  If your brand is more relaxed and casual, so should your headshot be.  When planning for the headshot session, it’s best to discuss things like branding and style.  We will also discuss how you’ll be using the headshots.  The end usage may determine some factors of how I photograph you.  If you are a realtor and need a long banner image for your website, we will be sure to include a horizontal image that can be stretched for that purpose.  If you are an executive in a high profile firm in downtown Houston, we may photograph you on a clean white background so that your headshot can translated into that scene.

Headshots for Grovas and Payne

Attorneys Grovas and Payne needed professional headshots for their new business venture.  After hair and makeup for both women, we met at their shared office space.  I suggested that we capture some standard headshots and then we talked about environmental portraits as well.  The shared office space had a modern waiting area with lots of texture and light.  Perfect!  We photographed both women for a headshot in this environmental scene and then one shot of them together.  I love the warmth and lightness of these images!  To me, they are friendly and approachable but still professional.  Just the image that you want to portray when starting a new business.  Environmental portraits are a great alternative to the standard studio look.  I like to capture both so that my clients have options for all of their marketing needs.

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.

The best part of this job?👇🏼

 Seeing clients recognize themselves in their photos — confident, professional, and proud — never gets old. 

Your kind words, trust, and support mean more than you know, and they’re the reason I love what I do every single day.

Every session is about more than just photos. It’s about helping you feel seen, confident, and represented in a way that truly feels like you.

Thank you to every client who’s trusted me with their story — and shared such thoughtful reviews along the way.

Some poses might feel a little silly in the moment and that’s okay. 📸👇🏼

One of the biggest secrets to great photos is being willing to experiment.

What feels “unnatural” in real life often looks confident, effortless, and polished on camera. That’s why posing is such a big part of what I do during every session.

I’ll guide you through adjustments, test different angles, and fine-tune details so we find what truly works for you. 

You don’t need to overthink it or worry about how you look — trusting the process is where the magic happens.

You show up. I’ll handle the posing.

I hear this all the time — and the good news is, you don’t need to👇🏻

Guiding you through posing, angles, and expressions is literally my job.

During every session, I give clear, simple direction so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do next.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident — because that’s when you look your best. 

You’re never expected to “perform” or figure it out on your own. I’ll position you in ways that highlight your best features and feel natural to you.

All you need to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.

Your face is the star of your headshot — and how your hair frames it makes all the difference. ✨

Here's what most people miss: hair should frame your features, not compete with them.

✨ Thicker hair? Pull it back to highlight your face. 

✨ Thinner hair? Bring it forward for balance and dimension.

Small adjustments like this help your headshot truly reflect you — confident, polished, and professional.

The goal is simple: when someone sees your photo, they see YOU. Your personality, your confidence, your energy — all in one image.
