Is it time to update your headshot?

An updated headshot might be in order if you’ve had any life changes like weight loss, a new hair style, or a new career.  I also recommend a new headshot if it’s been more than 4-5 years since your last headshot.  The idea is that your headshot is a true representation of your best YOU!  If your current headshot is 10 years old, it’s likely that you don’t look like that image any longer.  You’re older, wiser, and have more experience and maybe a few more greys like I do!  I would like to create a headshot that is fabulous and really shows you for who you are.  Your customers will appreciate that.  A headshot should be the first introduction to your business and brand.  Let’s make sure we start off in truth and confidence with a headshot that reflects you.

Dennis requested a headshot session for his consulting business, DDM Consulting.  His current headshot was out of date and the company said it was time for an update!  Since the company sends the headshot to clients, they wanted it to be current and professional.  Dennis loved the headshots and was so relieved that he could send in the updated headshot to his company.  I love that his wife came along to the session!  Since Dennis also plays bass for several local churches, he wanted a shot with the guitar.  Whatever your profession or hobby, our instruments are so important.  He loves this guitar and I think it shows through in this image.

I put together a Guide to Photography Gear for those of you who need some help deciding what is actually worth investing in (and what's not). The link is in my bio!

Lighting is one of those things that feels complicated when you’re starting out… but it doesn’t have to be.

At the end of the day—light is light.

You don’t need the most expensive setup to get good results. What matters more is having something reliable that you understand how to use.

Especially if you’re shooting outside… the last thing you want is a $2,000 light going down in the wind.

Start simple.
Focus on gear you can trust.
And build from there.

Curious—what lighting setup are you using right now?
My Photographer Gear Guide is linked in my bio if you’re trying to figure out what’s actually worth investing in when you’re first starting out.

Because the truth is—you don’t need everything right away.

When you’re new, it’s easy to feel like you need all the gear… but really, it comes down to a few key pieces.

A solid camera body and a really good lens will take you further than a full bag of equipment you don’t know how to use yet.

If you’re deciding where to spend your money, start there.

A 24–70mm or 70–200mm lens will cover more than you think—and give you the flexibility to shoot a wide range of sessions without overcomplicating things.

Curious—what was the first piece of gear you invested in?
‼️ No clients (or videographers) were harmed in the making of this video 🤣

(For the record—this is very much a joke.)

But if you are a photographer, you know the real challenge isn’t getting someone in front of the camera… it’s knowing how to guide them once they’re there.

Small adjustments = big difference in how confident and natural someone looks.

And having a go-to posing flow makes everything feel easier—for you and your client. (so you don't resort to violence 😉)

➡️ I put together a Headshot Posing Flow Cheat Sheet to help with exactly that—link in bio.
A quick look at the people and brands I had the chance to photograph this month 👇🏻

Grateful for every person and team that trusted me to capture this season of their business.

Each session is different, but the goal is always the same—to create images that actually represent you well and support where you’re going next.

If you’ve been thinking about updating your headshot or branding photos, now is a great time to get it scheduled before things get busy later in the year.
