Outdoor Headshots As a Houston headshot photographer, I am able to shoot outdoor headshot sessions for most of the year. Outdoor headshots are becoming more popular for individuals and have been dubbed the “not-so-corporate” headshot. Often a little more relaxed and casual in nature, outdoor headshots can still be professional but in an open and...

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.
If you’re ready to start planning your senior session, you can book a consultation through the link in my bio.
“Pick something you’d do for free…” It sounds simple—but building a career around it is anything but.
There’s a lot that goes into turning photography into something sustainable—learning your craft, understanding lighting, figuring out your gear, working with clients, and continuing to grow.
But if you’re willing to put in the time, it’s one of the most rewarding things you can do.
If you’re just getting started, I have a few free resources to help you figure out what actually matters (and what doesn’t).
