NAM’s Jeans & Jewels Luncheon

Every year I photograph the Northwest Assistance Ministries Jeans & Jewels luncheon.  It is held at Shirley Acres in Spring and is a wonderful fundraising event for NAM.  This year was a huge success!  Every table was filled and as always, the fashion show was a hoot!  NAM is an invaluable resource for the people...

Fashion Show Event | Houston Event Photographer

Tiffany at The House of Blooms called me to photograph the Sweetwater Women’s Association Fashion Show.  Yay!  I love events.  It was a mother/daughter fashion show so all of the ladies had a fantastic time getting dressed and showing off their outfits.  The little ones were so cute!

First Holy Communion | Houston Event Photographer

I met the Gama family at the church following her First Holy Communion.  We took photos with the family and priest and her friends.  What a momentous occasion for all of the families.  Then we went to Mercer Arboretum for more photos.  I absolutely love the close-up shots of her.  Every gorgeous detail: those lashes,...

But in reality...👇🏼

With group composites, each team member is photographed individually and then seamlessly combined into a polished, professional group photo. When someone new joins or a team member leaves, you simply update the composite—no need to gather everyone for a brand-new shoot!

That’s why more professionals are making the switch. Here’s why group composites are the smarter choice over traditional team photos:

💰 Cost Savings

- No more expensive re-shoots! Just update individual headshots instead of redoing the entire team photo.
- Skip venue rentals—everyone is photographed separately, so there’s no need for a big studio or location booking.
- Long-term savings make group composites the best option for growing teams.

🎨 A More Polished Look

- No more awkward expressions or bad posture—each headshot is carefully posed and edited for a flawless final result.
- Consistent lighting and framing create a sleek, professional image.
- Customize the background to match your brand for a cohesive, high-end look.

🔄 Built-In Future Flexibility

- Need an update? Just add or remove individual headshots—no need to gather the whole team again.
- Keep branding consistent across your website, marketing, and social media.
- Save time and avoid scheduling headaches—employees take their headshots at their convenience.

Why You Need Both 👇🏻

When it comes to your acting or modeling portfolio, versatility is key. Here’s why having BOTH styles can open doors:

🎬 Theatrical Headshots – Think moody, dark, mysterious, and serious. These photos highlight your ability to take on intense, dramatic roles. Casting directors are looking for depth, emotion, and that “I can play the lead in a thriller” energy.

📺 Commercial Headshots – The “selling Cheerios” vibe—bright, happy, and approachable. These shots showcase your friendly, relatable side, perfect for commercials, lifestyle brands, and roles that require charisma and warmth.

✨ Pro Tip: Your headshot is your first audition. Make sure it tells the story you want casting directors to see.

3 tips for natural, authentic senior poses 👇🏻

Most seniors feel nervous in front of the camera because they don’t know what to do with their hands, their feet, or even their face. That’s where I come in. 🙋🏼‍♀️ 

Here are 3 quick poses that always work:

1️⃣ Relax your hands - soft, loose fingers look natural in every photo.
2️⃣ Shift your weight - try putting it on one foot for a more casual stance.
3️⃣ Play with movement - adjusting your hair, walking, or laughing can make all the difference!

From the first click to the final shot, I’ll guide you every step of the way to ensure your photos reflect the best version of you. No awkward, stiff poses here- just real, confident, you. 😉
