Houston Headshot Photographer | Headshots for Matt

Outdoor Headshots

As a Houston headshot photographer, I am able to shoot outdoor headshot sessions for most of the year.  Outdoor headshots are becoming more popular for individuals and have been dubbed the “not-so-corporate” headshot.  Often a little more relaxed and casual in nature, outdoor headshots can still be professional but in an open and friendly environment.  This type of session can take place in a green space near the office or at a local park.  Another option is to do an indoor headshot session but use the office environment as the background.  Sometimes repeating patterns and architectural interest can make for a fantastic background for a headshot.  You can even send me a photo of  your office and surroundings so that I can help you pick the best location for your headshot.

About Matt’s Headshot

Matt contacted me about having some outdoor headshots taken.  The day we scheduled for the headshots turned out to have thunderstorms popping up all over Houston.  For the rescheduled session, we had a beautiful weather!  Matt and I met at an estate in Houston that provided some beautiful architecture in the background as well as natural green spaces.  We were able to get a ton of different looks just by moving around the estate.  Matt said that he hated photos of himself but he ended up choosing five images for his headshot package and then purchased a couple of additional images as well.  Matt will be able to use these headshots for LinkedIn, websites, and for his board of directors pages.  All my best, Matt!

Honestly… a little bit of everything. 📸

From professional headshots and personal branding to senior portraits and family sessions, I love creating photos that help people and businesses tell their story.

And there’s plenty more I can help with, too—large team group composites, in-office headshots for teams with different schedules, acting and modeling headshots, office branding, and more.

Basically, if you need photos for yourself, your family, or your business, let’s talk about what you have in mind. I’ll help you figure out the best way to make it happen.

I’m gonna let you in on my secret… 👀

These are the camera settings I use as my starting point when I’m shooting during golden hour:

☀️ APERTURE
For one person: f/2.8–f/3.2
For families or groups: f/5.6

A wider aperture gives you that beautiful separation and soft background when you’re photographing one person. With a group, I stop down to help keep everyone in focus.

☀️ SHUTTER SPEED
I start around 1/160 sec—but if I have kids running, a couple moving around, or anything else with more movement, I’ll increase my shutter speed to keep everything sharp.

☀️ ISO
ISO 400 is my starting point, and then I adjust up or down depending on how much light I have.

The biggest thing to remember? These aren’t magic numbers you have to use every time.

Golden hour changes quickly, and your settings should change with it. Use these as a starting point, watch your light, and adjust for the people and movement in front of your camera.

And if you’re building your photography kit and wondering what gear is actually worth investing in, I put together my Photographer’s Gear Guide with the cameras, lenses, lighting, and equipment I use in my own business.

Class of 2027, the clock is ticking! 🎓📸

Yearbook deadlines are getting closer, which means there’s not much time left to get those fall senior portraits on the calendar.

Senior photos are about so much more than checking a yearbook photo off the list. This is your chance to capture their personality, style, interests, and who they are during one of the biggest years of their life.

If senior portraits are still sitting on your fall to-do list, this is your sign to get them booked!

🎓 Now booking fall senior sessions. Head to the link in my bio to get started.

Come spend a headshot + branding day with me! 📸

One of my favorite things about on-location sessions is getting to step into a client’s space and create images that actually feel connected to their business.

We can capture updated headshots, team photos, working shots, office details, and plenty of branding content—all without your team having to leave the office.

A lot goes into a shoot day, but this is the fun part: turning an ordinary workday into a whole new library of images for your brand.
