Elisabeth contacted me asking about a head shot session. She explained that she was going to try out for the Houston Texans cheerleading squad. I was thrilled to help her and so set the date for a shoot. When I arrived at our location, she had a whole bag of outfits, props, and accessories for...
My friend Wes Phelps has a new book coming out called A People’s War on Poverty. He asked me to take a head shot for him for the book cover. Here is the write-up for University of Georgia Press Spring/Summer 2014. I’m so excited for him that his book is finished! Here is the link...
Brad Leigh, of The Leigh Law Firm in The Woodlands, was a great model! We took some shots of the family and then got some new photos of him for the upcoming January issue of LIVING Magazine. He also needed some updated images for his website and promotional materials. http://www.woodlandsinjurylawyer.com/
What happens when you normally take a group photo? Yep. There’s always one person (and sometimes two) that don’t realize you’re taking a photo. They’re looking someplace else or blinking or just not ready for the shot. So instead of taking an awkward group photo of all of Dr. Paige’s patients, he had a great...

Not sure how formal your headshot should be? Start here. 👇
Your outfit plays a huge role in the story your headshot tells — and choosing the right look helps you show up with clarity and confidence.
Here are 5 levels of formality for men’s headshots and when to use each one:
1️⃣ Very Formal
Suit jacket + button-down shirt + tie
This look builds instant trust and authority.
2️⃣ Semi-formal (No Tie)
Suit jacket + button-down (no tie)
Polished, approachable, and confident.
3️⃣ Business Casual
Button-down shirt, no jacket
Comfortable and true to your everyday brand.
4️⃣ Branded Apparel
Button-down or polo with company logo
Keeps things clean, professional, and consistent — especially for team headshots.
5️⃣ Casual
Fitted t-shirt or polo (no branding)
Still professional — just more relaxed and innovative.
✨ BONUS TIPS:
– Stick to solid colors
– Make sure clothes are clean, pressed & well-fitted
– Avoid loud patterns or busy logos (unless branded)
– Bring a backup shirt or jacket to your session
🎯 The goal? Choose the level that fits your industry, role, and personality — and Tara will help you photograph it perfectly.

Let`s talk about it 👇🏻
Whether it’s your LinkedIn profile, website bio, or social media presence—your photo is often the first impression people get of you.
And if it’s outdated, poorly lit, overly casual, or just not aligned with who you are now… it’s doing more harm than good.
Here’s what a great headshot can do:
✅ Build instant trust with clients
✅ Attract job offers, press, or speaking gigs
✅ Help you show up confidently in a crowded market
✅ Make your personal brand feel polished and professional
It’s more than just a photo—it’s your reputation in pixels.
📸 I create relaxed, guided headshot sessions that reflect your style, your energy, and your goals. Let’s make sure your image is working for you, not against you.
Contact me to book your session or visit the link in my bio to schedule your free consultation.
Your future self will thank you. 👏
Selfies are fun—but they’re not your brand. 😅
With National Selfie Day around the corner (June 21 👀), let’s talk about the photo that really works for you: your headshot.
A great headshot isn’t just for CEOs anymore. It’s for small business owners, career changers, creatives, and anyone showing up professionally online.
✨ Whether you`re on LinkedIn, launching a biz, or just tired of that old crop from five years ago—I’ve got you.
And just in time for Father’s Day…

Goldfish have longer attention spans than most people online. If your visuals don’t speak fast, they’re not being seen.
And more often than not, it’s your photos doing the talking before you ever say a word.
High-quality, professional visuals do more than “look good.” They ⤵️
✅ Build Trust Instantly
People want to feel like they know you before they work with you. Clear, polished images of you (not stock photography) help potential clients connect with the face behind the business.
✅ Showcase Professionalism
From your website to your Instagram grid, cohesive brand photography tells the world you’re serious, credible, and ready for business.
✅ Create Brand Clarity
What do you want people to feel when they land on your page? Confident? Warm? Innovative? Your visuals should reflect that vibe—because clarity creates confidence.
✅ Set You Apart
In a saturated market, people are buying you as much as your product or service. Brand photography gives you a chance to stand out with personality, story, and style.
If you’re still using a mix of selfies, old photos, or generic images, you might be confusing your audience—or worse, losing them.
Let’s fix that. Let’s create visuals that stop the scroll and start the connection.
