Commercial Real Estate Headshots

Careers and companies based in the real estate industry benefit from headshots. This is a highly personal business and one that relies on trust between a broker and a client. Commercial real estate is no different. People buy from people they know and trust. The company website should list team members with biographies and headshots to provide this great introduction for clients. When you meet the client for the first time, they will already feel comfortable with you because they’ve already “met” you on the website. This trust and confidence will carry through to the end of the transaction or sale.

MHW Real Estate

They provide services including brokerage, investment, construction & development, and property management. “Whether you are looking for new real estate opportunities to invest in or you already have a property selected and would like help arranging a leasing agreement, we can assist you through the entire process .Our goal is to customize and build solutions to meet each of our clients specific requirements and budget.”

MHW Real Estate now has brand new professional headshots for all of the team members. The website provides a biography and headshot for each team member. So clients can find the team member they will be working with and know them exactly! This company is an excellent example of the use of headshots…well done!

Be honest — when`s the last time you actually looked at your headshot? 👀

If it`s giving any of these, it might be time:

📌 It`s from a different job, title, or chapter of your life

📌 Your hair, glasses, or facial hair don`t match reality anymore

📌 It`s a cropped vacation pic, an old selfie, or a Zoom screenshot (we`ve all been there)

📌 You cringe a little every time it pops up on LinkedIn

📌 It`s been 2-3+ years since your last one

Your headshot is usually the first impression someone gets of you online — before they ever meet you in person. It should actually look like you today.

If you`re nodding along to any of these... let`s fix it. 📸

If you’re planning family photos around Houston or The Woodlands, I`ve got 8 beautiful locations to consider 👇🏻

📍 W.G. Jones State Forest — Woodsy, natural, and perfect for that classic outdoor family portrait look.

📍 Alden Bridge Park — Relaxed, timeless, and a great option for families who want plenty of greenery.

📍 Rob Fleming Park at Creekside — Scenic, family-friendly, and especially beautiful for those warm, natural portraits.

📍 The Woodlands Waterway — A great mix of greenery, architecture, and a slightly more urban feel.

📍 Hughes Landing — Modern and polished with plenty of variety for your gallery.

📍 Mercer Botanic Gardens — Lush, colorful, and perfect if you love a garden-inspired backdrop.

📍 Downtown Conroe — Lots of character and architecture for something a little different from the traditional park setting.

📍 Downtown Tomball — Charming, casual, and full of personality.

🔖 SAVE this list for when it’s time to plan your family photos!

Still need to get your fall family photos on the calendar? I have just a few weekend dates remaining this season:

October 10 & 17

A little bit of flash can go a LONG way outdoors. 📸

When I’m photographing families or seniors outside, I’m not trying to overpower the natural light or make the photo look like it was taken with flash.

I just want a little extra light to soften those shadows, even out skin tones, and give me a more polished final image.

The key? Keep it subtle.

Your flash should work with the natural light—not fight against it. When you get that balance right, you still get the beautiful look of an outdoor session, just with a little more control over your subject’s lighting.

If you’re a newer photographer, start experimenting with adding a small amount of off-camera flash to your outdoor sessions. You might be surprised by how much of a difference it makes!

📸 And if you’re building your photography skills, I have free resources on lighting, gear, posing, and more available through the link in my bio.

The goal is to coordinate—not match. 👏🏻

Planning outfits for the whole family can easily become the most stressful part of family photos, so here’s my favorite way to simplify it:

Start with one person’s outfit (Mom, I’m looking at you 😉) and build everyone else around it.

Choose a color palette that works well with your location. For an outdoor session, earthy greens, browns, blues, creams, and other natural tones photograph beautifully.

Then add some variety! Mix different shades of denim, layer jackets or sweaters, and incorporate different fabrics and textures. Everyone should look like they belong together without looking like you bought the same outfit in five different sizes. 😂

And most importantly, choose clothes that actually feel like your family. You’ll be much more comfortable in front of the camera—and it’ll show in your photos.

And don`t forget, my weekend family session dates are filling up fast! 👇🏻

November 8th & 15th

The best family photos aren’t always the perfectly posed ones. 🤍

Of course, we’re going to get that classic photo where everyone is together, looking at the camera, and smiling. But that’s only one small part of a family session.

We’ll get the whole family together. Just the kids. Mom and Dad. Each parent with the kids. And plenty of different combinations along the way.

But we’ll also make room for the in-between moments.

The silly faces. The big laughs. The cuddles. The kids being kids. The moments when everyone forgets about the camera for a second and is simply enjoying being together.

I’ll guide you into poses and give you direction throughout your session, but we’re not chasing perfection. Sometimes a pose is just the starting point—and what happens immediately after it ends up being the photo you love most.

Because years from now, you won’t only want to remember what everyone looked like.

You’ll want to remember what being together felt like. 🤍

Photographers: the secret to family sessions with little kids? Stop expecting them to follow the plan. 😂📸

Young kids are going to move. They’re going to get distracted. They may decide halfway through that they’re completely DONE with your ideas—and that’s okay.

Instead of fighting it, work with it.

Keep them moving and engaged. Give them something to do instead of constantly asking them to smile. And don’t forget to coach Mom and Dad, too! Encourage them to interact with their kids, keep looking at you when you need the classic family shot, and trust you to get the moment.

Because some of the best images happen in between the poses—the laughs, cuddles, movement, and little expressions you couldn’t have planned if you tried.

You don’t need perfectly behaved kids to create beautiful family portraits. You need patience, flexibility, and a few tricks ready when your original plan goes out the window. 😉
