Recent Headshot Sessions

Meghan works for King Ranch and wanted a headshot that reflected not only her personality but her job as well. During her Executive Headshot Session, we photographed her in several jacket options and her hat! I absolutely love this combination of her hat and green jacket!

I hear it all the time… ⬇️

“I want to lose a little weight first.”
“I’ll do it after I get my hair done.”
“I just don’t feel ready yet.”

But the truth is… most people never feel 100% ready.
And that’s okay.

You don’t need to be “perfect” to show up confidently.
You just need the right space, the right support, and someone behind the camera who sees you as you are—right now.

✨ If this is the sign you’ve been waiting for… I’d love to help.
Here’s the truth 👇🏻

I have two business degrees — everything I’ve learned about photography came from hands-on experience and in-person workshops.

If you’re starting a headshot business or stepping into photography, here’s my biggest advice:

✨ Join local and national photography organizations

✨ Invest in in-person workshops

✨ Learn by doing, not just watching

Online resources are great, but there’s no substitute for seeing another photographer set up lighting, work with models, and handle real scenarios. You figure out what works for you by trying it yourself.

Because at the end of the day, your style is yours — and you only find it through practice.

✨ Seniors — it’s YOUR year! ✨

Your senior portraits should feel like you — not just another cookie-cutter session. That means:

🕶️ Bring your sunglasses
👟 Rock your favorite sneakers
🎸 Grab your instrument, your dog, or even your best friend

Let’s add personality, attitude, and fun so your session is unforgettable. Because these aren’t just photos — they’re memories you’ll look back on for years to come. 💛
