Giving Back to Community

Some days you feel it and some days you don’t but we are given much by our community.  Friends, acquaintances, and strangers provide for us in big and small ways throughout our lives.  Community is the airline pilot who gets us safely to our destination, the janitor who cleans the halls, the shift worker who made your lunch, and on and on.  These are the people in our community who support us.  Community is made of those who protect us as well and help in an emergency.  Police, fire, paramedics, and military are doing a job that is sometimes dangerous and all the time crucial to our survival and safety.  I am personally thankful for these first responders and their families who literally put their lives on the line to help protect our community.

9/11 First Responder Family Photo Shoot

Last year, a group of Woodlands/Spring area photographers decided to give back to community.  On September 11, 2018, we embarked on a journey to say “thank you” to first responders and their families for protecting our community.  This year, on September 11, 2019, we did it again and this year with no rain!  We photographed first responders and their families.  In some cases, this was their first family portrait.  One of my families had their first family portrait with Dad in uniform even though he had been in the army for 9 years!  Together, we honored the first responders and in our very own way were able to say “thank you” for what you do.  And it was a lot of fun.  I received so many words of appreciation and heartfelt thank yous.  I am honored to have been a small part of this endevour.

Taking team photos that actually look like your team 👇🏻

Clean. Consistent. Professional.

Because when your entire team shows up cohesively across your website, LinkedIn, and marketing… it makes a difference.

It builds trust.
It feels more established.
And it reflects the level your business is operating at today.

If you’re planning a team session, there’s more to it than just picking a date and showing up.

That’s exactly why I created a Corporate Headshot Planner—to help you organize everything ahead of time so your session runs smoothly and your final images feel aligned.

📥 Grab it through the link in my bio and start planning your team’s update.
This is why good branding photos feel different 👇🏻

A strong session isn’t just about showing up and taking a few pictures.

It’s about direction.
It’s about intention.
It’s about creating images you can actually use across your business.

The end result should feel aligned—like your photos finally match the level you’re operating at now.

But here’s the part most people skip…
Before you ever step in front of the camera, you need clarity on your brand.

✅ 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 work for you.

📥 Grab it through the link in my bio, then let’s plan your session.
It’s funny… people assume I’m just showing up, taking photos, and moving on.

But in reality, I’m rooting for my clients long after the session is over.

Hoping they feel more confident.
Hoping they land the opportunity.
Hoping their photos help them show up the way they’ve been wanting to.

Because it’s never just about the pictures.

📩 If you’re ready for photos that actually support where you’re going, you can book through the link in my bio.
You don’t just get a few photos…

You get a full set of images you can actually use—
for your website, your content, your launches, and everything in between.

Because as a coach, you are your brand.
And the way you show up visually matters more than most people realize.

My goal isn’t just to take good photos—
it’s to help you feel confident, natural, and aligned in how you present yourself.

📩 If you’ve been putting off branding photos, this is your sign—link in bio to start planning.
Mid-session. Camera in hand. Client in front of me…
and suddenly my camera starts throwing error codes.

I turn it off. Pull the battery. Take the card out.
Put everything back in and hope it works again.

And then it happens again.

Three memory cards failed on me during that shoot.

After that, I switched to Sony Tough cards—and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about… until you’re in a high-pressure moment and your gear has to perform.

📥 If you’re a photographer and want a breakdown of the gear I actually use and trust, I’ve put together a guide—link in bio.

👇🏼 But I'm curious, what cards have been working for you?
