The Halloween Ball, a charity fundraiser for The Breast Cancer Charities of America was held on Friday, October 24. Hubby and I couldn’t stop looking around at all the great costumes! People are so creative! Costumes, dancing, charity…what more could you ask for? And the MC was Dana Tyson from Sunny 99.1. She is amazing!...

🎓 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.

🤝🏼 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. 🤍
For her recent headshot session, we made sure to capture the classics—a polished, traditional gray background that can work just about anywhere.
But we didn’t stop there. 💗💙
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 organization’s brand aesthetic.
I love the variety we created for Stacie—and 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. 📸
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 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. 😉

The #1 thing I hear from seniors? “I don’t know how to pose.” 👇🏻
Good news: you don’t need to. That’s my job. 🤍
You don’t have to practice poses in the mirror or spend hours saving inspiration on Pinterest before your session. I’ll guide you through where to put your hands, how to shift your weight, when to move, where to look—all of it.
We’ll 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.
🎓 Class of 2027: Senior season is here! If you’re ready to start planning your session, head to the link in my bio to book a consultation.
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. 😂
