Why Hire an Event Photographer?

All events require planning and attention to many, many details. Depending on the type and size of the event, those details can quickly overwhelm the event planner. Hiring an event photographer is a great idea! Here are a few reasons why:

The event photographer will capture all of those details that you’ve meticulously planned! She will also capture the decisive moments that make the event special.
If you hire an event photographer, you can take care of the other details for the event or actually just enjoy the event yourself!
After the event is over, you’ll have an entire gallery of images from the smallest detail to the biggest moments of the event. You and your guests can relive those moments and enjoy them again and again.

Grand Opening for Spring Cypress Assisted Living

Calvin contacted me about photographing the grand opening for Spring Cypress Assisted Living. First, I arrived to find that there were a number of people already flooding in the doors. The valets were already running around! People mingled inside as they munched on appetizers and socialized. The chef was busy preparing dinner but a full bar and snacks were already prepared. Then, Calvin introduced himself and the key management team. Next, they honored the family who sold the land to be used for the facility. A ribbon cutting with the Chamber of Commerce followed. After dinner, families were able to tour the facility and model rooms that were beautifully decorated. It was a beautifully successful grand opening and an event that will be remembered by families who were able to visit that night.

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.

Say goodbye to outdated team photos. 👋🏻

If your company is growing, shifting, or hiring often, this is the game-changing solution you’ve been waiting for:

📸 Group Composite Team Photos

Here’s how it works:

Instead of squeezing everyone into a single room at the same time (and hoping everyone looks their best), we photograph each team member individually — then merge them into one cohesive, professional team photo in post-production.

✨ New employee? We’ll add them in.
✨ Someone left? We’ll update the photo.
✨ Remote team? No problem.

No more rescheduling full photoshoots. No more outdated staff pages. Just a clean, current, always-on-brand team image.

Perfect for:
✔️ Corporate offices
✔️ Real estate teams
✔️ Medical practices
✔️ Law firms
✔️ Small businesses
✔️ Remote or hybrid teams

📍 Serving Houston + surrounding areas
📅 Contact me to start your team composite today.

Let’s talk about AI headshots. 🤖 ⬇️

Here’s the thing: while AI can mimic your likeness, it can’t replace the real you. People who know you can still tell the difference between an authentic photograph and a computer-generated image stitched together from selfies.

When it comes to building trust with your clients, patients, or audience, authenticity matters. Real portraits create real connection.

That said, I do love using AI-powered tools — not to fake who you are, but to enhance your photos. Tools that smooth, sharpen, and polish while keeping your portraits truthful, authentic, and you.

Because your clients deserve to meet the real person behind the brand.
