Headshot

A headshot is an important part of any business.  Why hire a professional?  Just about anyone can take a good picture every now and then. But when your image (the likeness of you) is on the line, don’t risk it. Entrust your photography needs to a Certified Professional Photographer and see the difference for yourself.  Thank you for taking the time to learn more why hiring a Certified Professional Photographer matters.

Because when things matter, you’ve only got one shot. And there’s no substitute for experience.

“The way that I personally look at it is if I were going to get my hair cut, I am going to look for someone who has been to beauty school and who has the license to prove it, not just some random person who says, ‘oh I’ve been cutting hair for years. It’s the same for searching for a photographer.” 
– Tracy McGee, CPP

These days, photography is practiced by anyone with a smartphone, but it’s mastered by few. When it comes to those once-in-a-lifetime moments—when you’ve got one shot at getting it right—you better make sure the person behind the camera is a pro. A proven professional photographer that is.

There’s no greater proof than when the letters “CPP” follow a photographer’s name. They designate a Certified Professional Photographer, someone who is putting in the extra work to stay above the rest. It assures you of this photographer’s professional knowledge and experience, while also declaring that photographer as one who has achieved and maintains a higher standard.

Derrick’s Headshots

Derrick needed a headshot for his business.  He was super busy though because he’s skilled in home construction and we had just been through a hurricane here in Houston.  He was busy helping people with their homes that had flooded.  He was tearing out sheet rock and educating people on where they could save money on a doorway trim here and there – those little bits add up at the end of the day.  Tired and beaten up, Derrick came in for his headshot session.  We chatted through most of it sharing stories about the storm.  I’m so fortunate to meet so many great people in my business.  For residential and commercial audio/video needs, please contact Derrick at Harkin AV.

Coordinating team photos shouldn’t feel like scheduling a board meeting. 😅

That’s why I love using group composites. Instead of trying to get everyone in the same room at the same time (nearly impossible for busy teams, especially doctors!), here’s how it works:

📸 Each person comes in individually

⏱️ We capture their headshot + full-body shot

✅ They’re done in minutes and back to work

🖼️ Later, I combine everyone into one seamless, polished group photo

No stress. No waiting around. And everyone looks their absolute best.

Here are my top tips for creating photos you’ll love for years to come 👇🏻

🎨 Choose a soft, coordinating color palette — think blues, burgundy, and warm earth tones that look gorgeous in outdoor settings.

👕 Stick to classic, solid pieces without big logos or bold patterns for a timeless look.

😊 And most importantly — keep everyone comfortable (especially the kids!) so we can have fun and capture genuine smiles.

Fall sessions fill up fast — let’s plan your perfect family session now so you can relax and enjoy it when the leaves start to turn. 🍁

📸 Shoot me a DM to schedule your Family Portraits this fall!

Want a flawless team photo every time? Here’s the secret ⬇️

Group Composites.

Unlike a traditional group photo — where someone inevitably blinks, looks away, or just isn’t loving their angle — a composite lets me select the best shot of each person individually.

Here’s how it works:

✔️ I photograph each person separately

✔️ Pick their most flattering image

✔️ Edit each headshot to perfection

✔️ Combine them into one cohesive, polished group portrait

The result? A picture-perfect team photo where everyone looks amazing — no retakes, no stress.
