Kingwood Orthodontics | Houston Headshot Photographer

Photo Session

I’ve been a contract photographer for LIVING Magazine since I started my business in 2010. So, I’ve photographed some clients a number of times. Kingwood Orthodontics is one of those clients. I photographed the office years ago and now Dr. Blake Swearingen has taken over the practice. It was great to photograph the office again and to see new faces! She asked some of her patients to meet us for the photo shoot – so fun! There were lots of eager models on hand to pose for our “action” shots as well. Dr. B wants the ortho office to be fun and light-hearted. Thus, the jumping photo of Dr. B and her staff that we took at the very end of the session. We may have to blow that image up and put it on the wall in their office!!

Kingwood Orthodontics

One of the reasons Dr. Swearingen became an orthodontist is because she loves getting to know her patients. As a result, Kingwood Orthodontics is designed to provide individualized patient attention, rather than treating you like just another number at one of those mega-clinics. We believe a personalized approach improves patient experience and clinical outcomes. Read what our past patients have to say about their experiences.

Dr. Elizabeth ‘Blake’ Swearingen, a native Texan, graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Central Arkansas with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. She attended the university as a scholarship athlete and played goal keeper for the school’s soccer team. Even from an early age, Dr. Blake has always had a passion for science and the arts. It is no surprise then that she has found herself in a career that harmoniously marries the two. The science of constructing a functional bite combined with the art of creating a beautiful smile is the perfect fit for Dr. Blake. But what she says makes her career most gratifying is being able to develop lasting relationships and serve the members of the community in which she practices. For Dr. Blake, there is a real joy in seeing the smiles that she and her patients have built together make such a difference to the patients she serves.

Summer might be the best time for family portraits—and here’s why.

Fall gets all the hype, but it also brings packed schedules, tight timelines, and holiday stress. Summer? It’s lighter. Looser. Happier.

The kids are home. The evenings are longer. And yes—there’s golden light and gorgeous greenery everywhere.

Whether you want an outdoor session or something cozy indoors (hello, air conditioning!), summer gives you the flexibility to actually enjoy the experience.

Swipe through for just a few reasons to book your family photos now—not later.

📅 Let’s chat about what kind of session fits your family best.

His headshot made him more money… and here’s why 👇🏼

When my videographer finally swapped his profile photo for the professional headshot I took, something changed.

✅ More responses to cold DMs
✅ Better leads
✅ Real revenue growth

All from one simple update.

It’s not magic — it’s psychology.

🤝 People do business with people.

They want to see the face behind the brand, connect with a real human, and feel like they can trust who they’re hiring or buying from.

Your headshot is often the first impression you make online. Make sure it actually represents the real you — confident, approachable, and ready for the opportunities you want to attract.

Every kind word from a client feels like fuel for what I do—and this one really lit me up. 💛

I’m so grateful to work with incredible teams who value connection, professionalism, and showing up as their best selves. Creating headshots that reflect who someone is (not just what they do) is the heart of my work—and it’s a joy every single time.

If you’re thinking about updating your team’s headshots, I’d love to help.

📩 DM me to schedule a consultation and let’s plan something great, together.

These 5 photos will completely transform your real estate brand 👇🏼

Whether you’re a solo agent building a personal brand or a growing team trying to stand out in a crowded market—your photos matter.

Because real estate is personal. People want to see who they’re working with and feel like they can trust you.

Here are 5 must-have brand photos I recommend for every real estate professional:

📸 Professional Team or Solo Portraits
Polished but approachable. Whether it’s a team shot or a solo headshot, these are the foundation of your brand.

📸 Cohesive Headshots
A unified look builds brand recognition and creates a stronger first impression—especially across platforms.

📸 Lifestyle Images
Show yourself (or your team) in action: walking a property, chatting with clients, reviewing listings. These help clients picture the experience of working with you.

📸 Detail Shots
From signage to coffee cups and closing folders, detail shots add depth and personality to your brand story.

📸 On-Location Photos
Highlight your market and your vibe—whether it’s downtown, the suburbs, or somewhere in between.

Let’s be real—getting your photo taken can feel super awkward.
You’re standing in front of a camera, trying to look natural… and it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s where I come in.

My goal isn’t just to take a great headshot—it’s to make sure you feel great while we’re doing it.

🗣 I keep things casual and conversational so you’re not stuck in your head.
🙌🏼 I give real-time encouragement to help you feel supported and at ease.
📲 And I stream your images to an iPad so you can see exactly how things are going—and speak up if something feels off.

Because the best photos don’t happen when you’re perfectly posed.
They happen when you’re relaxed, confident, and feel like yourself.

Ready to finally love your headshot?
Contact me to schedule a session designed to make you feel good and look good. 🤍
