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 get it—you’ve hired someone new, and now you need a matching headshot… but your original photographer is no longer available. 😬

Do you really have to start over and re-photograph the whole team?

Not if you hire someone who knows how to recreate what’s already working.

That’s where I come in.

When a company calls me in to match an existing set of headshots, I study every detail of your current images so your new photos blend in flawlessly—like they were taken on the same day.

Here’s what I focus on to make that happen:

✅ Lighting – Studio or natural? Soft, directional, or diffused?

✅ Background – Color, texture, and how sharp or blurry it is.

✅ Cropping & Composition – How close is the shot? What’s the framing like?

✅ Posing & Expression – Are your team members posed formally or relaxed and candid?

✅ Editing Style – Bright and airy? Bold and contrasty? Warm or cool tones?

📸 The result: a polished, consistent set of headshots that reflect your brand—even across time, locations, or different photographers.

✨ You don’t need to start over. You just need the right photographer.

This Mother’s Day, skip the flowers and give her something timeless—a moment, beautifully captured.

She’s been your biggest supporter, your soft place to land, your strength through every season of life.

And while you may not say it every day… you feel it deeply: the love, the gratitude, the bond that only grows stronger over time.

A family photo session isn’t just about the images.

It’s about carving out time to be present with each other.

It’s about documenting the connection, the laughter, the quiet strength, and the unspoken love that lives in every glance and every touch.

Whether you’re celebrating your mom, becoming one yourself, or honoring the memory of someone dear—these portraits become keepsakes.

Not just for now, but for years to come.

📸 Mother’s Day sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed to feel more like a meaningful experience than a posed shoot.

✨ Limited spots available—let’s create something she’ll treasure forever.

Here’s the thing—your brand is always evolving.

You might be offering new services, connecting with a different audience, or stepping more confidently into your role as a business owner. But if your photos still reflect where you were years ago, they’re not telling the right story anymore.

📸 Great branding photography isn’t just about looking polished—it’s about feeling aligned.

Because strong, consistent visuals:

✨ Build instant trust

✨ Make your business look cohesive and professional

✨ Help your dream clients see themselves working with you

Your photos should support the business you’ve grown into—not hold you back from where you’re going next.

If you’re ready to elevate your brand, attract the right clients, and finally feel like your photos match your message—I’d love to help you get there.
