Fun Senior Portraits

High school senior portraits are so much fun!  We get to play with the sun, light, shadows, posing, wardrobe, props, and all of the things.  Before the session, we will have chatted over Zoom to get to know each other.  {I like to meet you before the day of the session so that on session day we can get straight to the fun part!}  First, we discuss location: do you like nature with trees and greenery?  Do you like a more urban setting with buildings for texture and a little grunge?  What about graffiti for a vibrant, colorful background?  Or are you a little more country?  Next, we’ll talk about wardrobe.  I like to start with the most formal thing you’ve got (dress, suit, blazer, etc.) and progress to more casual and sometimes we end up in jeans and a hoodie (it’s okay, Mom, that’s what you’ll remember).  Finally, you tell me about your hobbies and interests.  What are you into (sports, music, drama, video games)?  I’d love to incorporate these things into your session to make it truly personalized and custom for you!

Sessions with Gretchen and Molly

Gretchen and her family met me for a family/senior session at the park.  We had brothers, sisters, Mom, Dad, grandparents…the whole gang!  After we did most of the family portraits, Gretchen and I got to have fun and get some fantastic senior portraits.  I just love the warmth and energy in her portraits!  Molly needed some senior portraits for her college sorority applications.  We had a great time getting her closeup and full body shots for that.  She’s headed to my alma mater, Baylor University and I can’t wait to see her next chapter!

When was the last time you updated your headshot? 👀

If your photo is from 10, 15, or even 30 years ago… it’s time.

Using an outdated headshot might seem harmless, but it can actually break trust — especially in professions where connection, credibility, and transparency matter (which is… all of them).

💬 Imagine a client or patient walks in expecting the person they saw online… and barely recognizes you.
It may feel small, but it instantly creates a disconnect.

Here’s the truth:
✅ Your clients want to see the real you.
✅ A recent headshot builds trust and shows you’re showing up with integrity.
✅ If your look has changed significantly (new hair, new role, new energy!) — it’s time.

Keep it current. Keep it real.
And if you’re not sure where to start, I’ve got you. DM me for a free consultation. 📸✨
Pretty pictures aren’t enough.

If you don’t know who your audience is, your branding photos won’t do what they’re supposed to do — build trust, tell your story, and attract the right clients.

Before every branding session, I walk my clients through a strategy call where we get crystal clear on two things:

1️⃣ Who are you speaking to?
2️⃣ What message do you want to send?

Because a realtor needs to connect with buyers and sellers.
An attorney needs to earn trust.
A coach needs to show confidence and approachability.

Intentional imagery makes all the difference.
📸 Let’s create brand photos that actually work for you.

📆 Contact me to schedule your session or learn more about our branding process.
What should you wear for your headshot session?
It depends on how you want to show up.

Your outfit sets the tone — and the right level of polish helps you appear confident, credible, and uniquely you.

Here are 4 levels of formality to help you choose the best look for your headshots 👇🏻

1️⃣ The Modern Suit Jacket
Crisp, structured, and powerful. Perfect for executives, attorneys, and leadership roles.

2️⃣ Soft Professional (No Jacket)
A sleek blouse or polished top with clean lines. Professional without being stiff — great for coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs.

3️⃣ Elevated Casual (Sweaters & Knits)
A fitted knit or stylish sweater gives an approachable, warm, and modern vibe. Ideal for creatives, educators, or small business owners.

4️⃣ Casual Short Sleeve
Simple, solid, and flattering. Feels relaxed but still polished — great for wellness pros, lifestyle brands, or startup teams.

✨ Quick Styling Tips:
– Stick to solid colors that flatter your skin tone
– Skip busy prints & distracting accessories
– Choose wrinkle-free, well-fitting pieces
– Bring a backup outfit or layering option!

🎯 Not sure what’s best for your brand?

We go over wardrobe during your pre-session consultation — so you’ll feel 100% confident in what you wear and how you show up.
