I was thrilled to get to work with Tutus and Bowties Events again on this first birthday party for Kora! The theme was ONEderwoman, get it, Wonderwoman for a ONE year old. It took me a minute. Tutus and Bowties Events provides full service parties, especially for the little ones. Everything is meticulously planned and...
Leslie from GHD contacted me about photographing the company holiday party that would be held at the end of January. Sam Houston Race Park was a great venue for hosting the event! A fun night with co-workers and having fun watching the races (and a little betting too)! And caricatures by Jody (http://www.jodytheartist.com/)…amazing! That guy...
I’m so honored to have captured the National Charity League (Champions Chapter) seniors and their Senior Recognition event. Most of the seniors have been part of the organization for several years. The seniors are recognized for their charity work (that they do with mom). In their own ways, these seniors and their moms are helping...
After shooting headshots for Land Advisors’ Houston office, the company asked me to attend the Land & Housing Future Event. Held at The Westin, Memorial City, the event was hugely successful! The room was packed with builders and many others connected to the land and housing market in Houston. Among other factors, solar roof tiles...
Favorite food is yogurt – I love it! During the party, Valentina gobbled down some yogurt, happy as a clam! Tutus and Bowties Events contacted me about capturing this birthday party in The Woodlands. The princess decorations were fantastic – from golden castles and armored guards to balloons, face painting, balloons, and crafts. This party had...

If your team is constantly changing… this is worth knowing.
Group photos can be one of the hardest things to keep updated—especially for businesses with high turnover, growing teams, or people who aren’t always in the same place at the same time.
That’s where a group composite comes in.
Instead of trying to coordinate everyone for one big photo, I photograph each person individually—so you get cohesive, professional headshots—and then build the group image from there.
The biggest benefit?
When someone joins or leaves your team, you don’t have to start over. We simply update the composite—no need to reschedule a full team session.
It’s a much more flexible (and realistic) way to keep your team looking consistent and up to date.
If your team photos have been on your to-do list, this might be the solution you’ve been looking for.

🤝🏼 Meet Danielle Woods
Danielle is a powerhouse in the world of HR technology—helping companies around the globe turn HR into a high-impact, value-driving part of their business. As a Global Director of People Technology and Workday strategist, she’s led digital transformations across 40+ countries and supported companies through major milestones like M&As and IPOs. 🚀
This is Danielle’s third branding session with me—and that’s something I always love to see.
Because your brand isn’t static. As your business grows and evolves, your visuals should reflect that.
For Danielle’s last two sessions, we worked in a professional studio setting. This time, she wanted something more relaxed and personal—so we turned her home into the backdrop.
And that shift matters. Your photos should match not just what you do, but how you show up now.
Updating your branding isn’t about starting over—it’s about staying aligned with where your business is today.
Danielle, thank you for trusting me (again) to capture your brand. 🤍
2027 graduates… this is your moment. ✨👇🏻
Senior year comes up faster than you think—and before you know it, calendars are full and you’re trying to squeeze something in last minute.
The best sessions happen when there’s time to plan.
Time to choose the right location, the right outfits, and create photos that actually feel like you.
Every senior you see here had a session that was intentional, relaxed, and built around who they are.
That’s what makes the difference.
If you’re part of the Class of 2027 (or the parent of), now is the time to start thinking about your session.

If you’re just starting a photography business… you need to watch this.
I recently showed up to a headshot session at an office building with all my gear—ready to go—and security wouldn’t let me in.
Not because anything was wrong… but because there was a miscommunication, and I didn’t have a certificate of insurance on file with the building.
It’s one of those things you don’t think about when you’re first starting out—but it matters.
As you grow and start booking more corporate or on-location sessions, these small admin details become part of the job.
Clear communication with your client (or their admin team) ahead of time can save you a lot of stress on shoot day.
👉🏻 If you’re in that stage of figuring everything out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you avoid mistakes like this—grab them in my bio.
What’s something you’ve learned the hard way on a shoot? 🤔⬇️
One of the biggest things I hear from senior guys is:
“I don’t know how to pose…”
And honestly—you don’t need to.
That’s my job.
Most of the poses you see here are simple, natural, and just small adjustments that make a big difference on camera. The goal isn’t to feel stiff or over-posed—it’s to look like yourself, just a little more confident.
I’ll guide you through everything during your session so it feels easy and relaxed the entire time.
Senior year is coming up quickly, and sessions start filling up once the school year gets going.
If you’ve been thinking about senior photos, now is a great time to start planning.

But in all seriousness—photographers love a good piece of gear.
And it’s really easy to convince yourself that the next upgrade is what’s going to take your work to the next level.
Sometimes that’s true.
If a piece of equipment makes your workflow smoother, more efficient, or solves a real problem for you—it’s worth every penny.
But if it’s just shiny, new, and replacing something that already works… it can probably wait.
The goal isn’t to have more gear—it’s to have the right gear for how you actually shoot.
🔗 If you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in, I put together a Photographer Gear Guide that breaks it all down—link in bio.
🤔 Curious… what’s one piece of equipment you’ve bought that was 100% worth it?
