Chairman’s Ball

The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce had the annual Chairman’s Ball on August 18.  I had a great time photographing the event.  The theme, as you can tell, was Star Wars.  All of the tables were elaborately decorated to the theme.  Some of them went way beyond what I thought was possible for table decorations!  Candy and gift bags and goodies smothered the tables and waited for guests to arrive.  It was a fun evening of dinner and dancing!

News from The Courier of Montgomery County

Excitement could be sensed in The Woodlands Saturday night as hundreds of people in black tie attire and Star Wars costumes applauded the outgoing and incoming chairmen for The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce.

The attendees entered the 40th annual Chairman’s Ball at The Woodlands Waterway Mariott Hotel and Convention Center by walking through plants recreating an Endor-like jungle scene before sitting at tables with Chewbacca, Yoda, and more decorative toppers.

Some attendees dressed in R2-D2 and C-3PO droid tuxedos, others could be spotted as Jedis and even Queen Padmé Amidala while enjoying dinner and a show that included a live lightsaber battle and recognition for those who have served as chairman in the past and helped bring the chamber success.

🎥 Ever wondered what it’s actually like during a headshot session?

If the idea of being in front of the camera makes you feel a little awkward or unsure, you're not alone. Most of my clients come in feeling that way — but leave saying, “That was way more fun than I expected!”

Here's a sneak peak at how I will guide you every step of the way — from how to stand, where to look, even how to tilt your chin — so you never have to wonder what to do. ✨

My goal? To make you feel confident, comfortable, and genuinely like yourself. And the best part is, the results speak for themselves.

📩 Ready for headshots that actually feel like you? Let’s talk.

"What should we wear?" — The question that keeps families from booking their session. 😅

Here's the thing: I've been doing this long enough to know that outfit stress is real. And completely unnecessary.

That's why I work with a professional stylist who takes the guesswork out of coordinating your family's look:

🎨 She creates a custom color palette that flatters everyone
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Coordinates (not matches!) each family member perfectly
📦 Can even help you shop or pull from what you already own
✨ Ensures your photos look timeless, not trendy

No more last-minute outfit changes. No more wondering if everyone looks good together. No more stress.

Just show up, be yourselves, and let us handle the rest.

Because the best family photos happen when you're relaxed, comfortable, and focused on each other — not worried about whether your shirt works with your daughter's dress.

📸 Ready for a stress-free family session? DM me to get started!

Class of 2026... this is your moment. ✨

You're not just graduating — you're stepping into who you're meant to become. And that person? They deserve to be celebrated.

This year isn't about fitting into someone else's idea of what a senior should look like. It's about showing the world exactly who YOU are:

🎸 The musician who finds peace in melody
🏐 The athlete who never gives up
📚 The scholar who asks the big questions
🎨 The artist who sees beauty everywhere
💫 The dreamer who's about to change the world

Your senior portraits should tell YOUR story. Not a generic version. Not what everyone else is doing. Yours.

Because in 10 years, when you look back at these photos, you should see the exact moment you started believing in yourself.

The moment your story really began.

📸 Ready to tell your story? Send me a DM and let's create something amazing together.
