Family Wall Portraits

When you think about the material possessions that have meaning – real meaning, what comes to mind?  I come from a family who loves to hold onto things.  On the other hand, I’ve always been one to give away my things, especially when I don’t use them.  But the one thing that I do treasure are my family portraits.  I treasure them because my kids will only be little once and I’m thankful that I captured them at every stage of their lives.  And you will only be where you are at this very moment, right this very moment.  We will change and grow as time moves rapidly in one direction or another.  Honor this time in your life for what it is – truly you.  Honor your family by capturing them and creating beautiful wall portraits that tell them every day how special and beautiful they are.  Family wall portraits are priceless possessions.  I would love the honor of creating your family wall portrait.  Your great grandchildren will thank you!

Wall Portraits for the Barzilla Family

The Barzilla family holds a special place in my heart.  I began photographing them when L was turning one.  I feel like I’ve been able to document their lives – changing and growing together as a family.  As the kids get bigger, their personalities shine and I love seeing that every year.  L & A were a hoot this year with their bare feet and Sunday attire – precious.

It’s never just pressing a button.

It’s reading the room.
Adjusting in real time.
Knowing how to bring out confidence—even when someone feels uncomfortable in front of the camera.

The technical side matters.
But the connection, the instinct, and the ability to see what others don’t… that’s what turns it into something more.

Come along with me as I set up for a headshot + branding session 👇🏻

When you’re just getting started, it’s easy to think you need all the gear before you can take on client work.

You don’t.

For in-office headshots, a solid setup really comes down to a few essentials:
✅ reliable lighting
✅ a strong lens
✅ a backdrop
✅ reflectors to help control light and keep skin tones consistent

That’s how I’m able to create clean, professional headshots—without being in a studio.

And for branding? That’s where I shift.

Instead of a backdrop, I’m using the client’s space—capturing environmental images that feel more natural, personal, and aligned with their business.

Same session, two different approaches—both intentional.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about having more gear…
it’s about knowing how to use what you have.

If your brand hasn’t been updated this year… this might be your sign 👇🏻

Summer is one of the best times to refresh your branding imagery—and most people don’t take advantage of it.

Things tend to slow down just enough to step back and actually look at what your brand is communicating.

And for a lot of businesses, this is when it becomes clear:
→ the photos don’t match the level you’re operating at anymore

A mid-year refresh isn’t about starting over—it’s about making sure your visuals reflect where you are now, not where you were a year ago.

But before you even book new photos… you need clarity.

What do you want your brand to feel like?
How do you want to show up?

That’s exactly why I created my Brand Personality Workbook—to help you define that first, so your photos actually align.

📥 Grab it through the link in my bio, and then let’s plan your next session.
Shooting outdoors doesn’t always mean “perfect lighting.” 👇🏻

One of the biggest challenges with natural light is inconsistency—
skin tones can shift depending on shade, surroundings, and even reflections (hello green grass 👀).

That’s why I use off-camera flash, even outside.

It helps create:
✅ consistent skin tones
✅ balanced lighting
✅ a cleaner, more polished final image

So instead of guessing what the light is doing…
I’m controlling it.
