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.

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
