Beautifully decorated, this event was one to remember. A harp played as guests entered the latern-lit hallway leading to the check-in table. Once checked in, guests were met with a beautiful decor of blue and silver. As seen in the first photo, the bouquets by Dream Bouquet were perfectly arranged so that guests could still...
Gray & Associates Events planned a spectacular holiday party for Pason Offshore. Everything was meticulously planned – from the saxophone player in the lobby to the Gatsby-themed decorations (by Ideal Party Decorators) to the Family-Feud-like GAME SHOW (by Best Entertainers) and DJ by (JPL Entertainment). There was no time to get bored at this holiday...
Oh my goodness! Where to start on this gorgeous event! Tiffany at House of Blooms contacted me to photograph their holiday party. As we talked through the details, I realized that I needed to shoot these gorgeous arrangements and decorations while there was still some daylight. I came early and just started shooting. {That’s when...

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?
A small snapshot of the teams I’ve worked with recently 📸👇🏻
Headshots are one of those things that are easy to put off… until you realize your photos no longer reflect where you are now.
Outdated images, inconsistent team photos, or a mix of styles across platforms can quietly take away from how your brand is perceived.
A headshot refresh doesn’t have to be complicated—it just needs to be intentional.
If your team’s photos haven’t been updated in a while, this is a good time to take a look at what you’re currently using.
📩 If you’re ready for a headshot refresh, you can book a consultation through the link in my bio.
Some of my favorite senior photos always include something personal.
Instruments, sports gear, pets, cars—these are the details that make your photos feel like you.
Senior sessions aren’t just about getting a few good pictures—they’re about capturing this season in a way that feels real and meaningful.
And with senior year right around the corner, now is the time to start thinking about it.
Spots tend to fill up quickly once the school year gets going, so planning ahead makes all the difference.
