Why hire an event photographer?

When planning an event, the first thing you have to do is to secure the event venue.  Dates and times fill up quickly at popular venues so you want to be sure to get an event on their calendar as soon as possible.  Next, you’ll want to secure catering, flowers, decor, guest list and entertainment.  And of course, a professional photographer!  On the day of the event, you will have meticulously planned every detail.  Every petal and fork have been discussed, rearranged, and secured.  You will want to relax and enjoy the party after all of that hard work.  Let a photographer capture all of those beautiful details!  The smile from a long-lost friend or the loving glance from the friend you saw an hour ago is priceless.  Enjoy those moments and let a photographer hold them so that you can enjoy them long after the lights go out.

50th Anniversary Party for Jean and John

Wow!  Fifty years of wedded bliss.  She had shoulder surgery so John had to fix her hair for the party.  Folks, that’s was marriage is about.  It’s helping your partner when they need it the most.  Just being there every step of the way.  And what a beautiful celebration with family and friends.  Their daughter made all of the arrangements for the dinner at Truluck’s in The Woodlands.  The open air patio was a fantastic spot for photos – we got a photo of the honorees with each couple attending.  A beautiful testimony to their love and friendship.  All my best Jean and John for many more years of happiness to come!

One outfit isn’t enough. Here’s why…

In branding sessions, we plan intentionally—from your wardrobe to your messaging—so your photos work everywhere your brand shows up.

I always recommend bringing multiple outfits: start with your most formal look and end with something more relaxed. This gives you a versatile set of images—perfect for everything from LinkedIn to your About page to your social media.

✨ Pro tip: Think layers, textures, and pieces that feel like you.

💬 Not sure what to wear or how to plan your session wardrobe? Drop your questions below—I’m here to help!
Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

When people land on your website or socials, they want to know who you are.

But when you rely on stock photos, you risk looking generic, disconnected, or even untrustworthy — and that could be costing you real opportunities.

Here are 5 reasons to book a professional branding session and invest in photos that are genuine and authentically you:

1️⃣ Build connection. Real faces build real trust.

2️⃣ Show your personality. Let your brand voice shine visually.

3️⃣ Stand out. Your competition is using the same stock photos. You deserve better.

4️⃣ Get consistency. Custom photos align with your colors, vibe, and messaging.

5️⃣ Boost confidence. When you love your photos, you show up more.

📩 Ready to ditch the stock and show up as the real you?

Contact me to book your branding consultation today! I’d love to help you elevate your presence.
If I had a dollar for every time a client said, “I’m not photogenic”… I could retire.

But here’s the truth:

That phrase? It’s not a fact.
It’s a story you’ve been telling yourself — one of those “little t” truths that feels real, but isn’t.

The real truth?
✨ You are photogenic.
📸 You just haven’t had someone help you see it yet.

Most of us aren’t perfectly symmetrical. Most of us feel awkward in front of the camera. That’s NORMAL.

But with the right lighting, posing, angles — and someone who knows how to bring out your best — that all changes.

You don’t need to look like anyone else.
You just need to feel like you.

And that’s where I come in. 💛

Ready to finally love the way you show up in photos? Contact me — I got you.

Want people to remember you? Start with this 👇🏻

Your face is your most powerful branding tool — and science backs it up. 🧠

We’re wired to recognize and remember faces, especially when we see them consistently. So if your headshot is outdated, inconsistent, or missing altogether… you could be missing out on real connections.

Here are 5 reasons to invest in a professional headshot that aligns with your brand:

1. First impressions happen online. Make yours count.

2. Visual consistency builds trust. People recognize what they see often.

3. A polished photo = instant credibility.

4. It helps people feel like they know you. Before you’ve even met.

5. Recognition = recall. Repetition helps people remember you.
