A Portrait for the Family

The Fall, and specifically November and December, are popular times for family portraits.  Lots of people want a family portrait for Christmas cards.  It’s also a great time to update your wall portraits.  These Fall Family Sessions don’t usually center around the holidays.  I mean, we don’t wear Christmas colors and have Christmas lights in the background (although you can if that’s what you want!).  Rather, these sessions are a great time to create a lasting family memory.  Gather the children, parents, and grandparents for a family portrait.  Choose some coordinating colors that everyone can find to wear.  We will choose a location together and then let’s have fun being family!

The Heger Family

Have you ever had that moment when you know you’ve met someone before but you can’t quite place it?  That happened to me during our family session with the Hegers.  I knew Mom from a corporate headshot job where we met.  But when I saw the grandparents, I knew for certain that I had photographed them before.  My brain worked on that connection the entire time of the session, although it must have been working in the background because my utmost focus was on the two little ones in front of me!  By the time we were walking out of the park, it hit me!  I had photographed the grandfather’s retirement party.  I had actually met the whole family that night.  It’s such a small world and I love finding the connections with people, in and among and through.  All my best, Heger family!

Here's the truth 👇🏻

Your headshot has an expiration date. ⏰

If your current headshot is more than three years old, it's time for a refresh.

When someone looks you up before a meeting or collaboration, they're forming their first impression. If your headshot doesn't match who shows up on the Zoom call, it creates an immediate disconnect.

Your headshot should reflect who you are RIGHT NOW. Your current energy. Your current confidence. Your current professional presence. 

✨ THE 3-YEAR RULE:
Update your headshot every 2-3 years, or sooner if you've had a significant change in appearance, role, or brand positioning.

💡 PRO TIP:
If you're hesitant because you don't love being photographed, that's exactly why the right photographer matters. Your session should feel empowering, not vulnerable.

You are worthy of being seen exactly as you are right now. Let's create headshots that feel authentic and work hard for your business.

Here's the truth—these three mistakes are quietly killing your credibility:

1️⃣ Inconsistent visuals across platforms

LinkedIn headshot ≠ Instagram profile ≠ Website photo

This creates confusion and distrust. Your audience needs to recognize YOU instantly, everywhere.

2️⃣ Outdated or low-quality photos

That 2019 selfie or grainy event photo? Not helping.

Professional imagery signals you take your business seriously—so clients can trust you with theirs.

3️⃣ Hiding behind logos or stock photos

People connect with PEOPLE, not faceless brands.

If they can't see the human behind the business, they're scrolling past.

✨ The good news? All of this is fixable.

Investing in professional branding photography isn't just about pretty pictures—it's about building trust and credibility that converts.

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.
