Thalee contacted me asking about headshots for the company. It turns out that they have a movie studio in their office where they shoot promotional videos. I would have a dedicated space for my backgound and lighting equipment! Yay! On the day of the shoot, I set up in the room and employees starting rolling through....

Meet Bret Strong, The Strong Firm in The Woodlands. Like many lawyers, Bret’s schedule allowed only a certain amount of time for photos. I said, no problem!

Perks of having a photographer mom?… you get senior photos that actually feel like you. 🤍
Getting to photograph my own son for his senior session was really special — and it’s also a perfect reminder of how important it is to make these sessions personal.
The guitar, the truck… these aren’t just props. They’re pieces of his story right now.
That’s what makes senior photos meaningful — capturing who you are in this moment, not just what you look like.
If you’re planning a senior session, think about what represents you — your hobbies, your interests, the things you’ll want to remember years from now.
Those are the details that turn photos into something you’ll truly hold onto.
📩 Senior sessions are filling up — click the link in my bio or DM me to start planning yours.
🚨 QUICK! TIME IS RUNNING OUT 👇🏻
Senior season is here, and spots are filling up FAST!
This is one of those moments you don’t get back — and these photos become something you’ll look back on for years.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.
You don’t.
A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.
📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.
It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
