How to celebrate your 90th

Birthdays are very special milestones for us all!  They are opportunities for celebration for the young and for the young at heart.  Certain birthdays are especially fun to celebrate.  I think 90 is probably one of those special milestone birthdays.  In order to celebrate a 90th birthday, you’ll need to gather friends and family, neighbors, coworkers, and church friends.  First, decide on a location for hosting the event, like a restaurant or a family members’ home.  Someone’s home makes for a more personal party and you can control the noise and activity level.  Send invitations to everyone with details.  Next, arrange for food, drinks, and dessert!  You can have family members join in the cooking or have it catered.  If you’re at a restaurant, this part will be easier.  Then, move your attention to the details like decorations and activities.  Finally, when the party day arrives, enjoy yourself and have fun!

A Celebration for Janet

Janet was turning 90 years old and I was invited to capture the big party!  All of her family and friends arrived for the party at her daughter’s beautiful home.  With 5 daughters and their families, the guest list was impressive just with family alone!  Everything was meticulously planned and beautifully arranged.  Tables lined the pool outside along with a table for desserts and gifts.  Dinner was catered on the patio.  As guests arrived, Janet greeted them and mingled.  With hugs and laughter, she shared a beautiful evening among the people that she loves.  We took lots of pictures with all of the guests, even though it meant that her dessert was cut short.  At the end of the evening, I was getting ready to pack up and leave the party.  She stopped and said, “Now, Tara, are you going to come back and photograph my 100th birthday?”  I said, “Yes, ma’am.  You call me and I’ll be here.”  What a fun night with a classy lady who is very much loved!  That, my friends, is how you celebrate your 90th birthday!

There’s a reason I reach for this lens during branding sessions.

I get asked about camera gear all the time — especially during branding sessions — and while the tools matter, how they support the experience matters more.

I love using a zoom lens for portraits because it gives me flexibility. I can adjust framing and perspective without breaking the flow of the session, which helps my client stay relaxed, confident, and present.

That range lets me focus less on repositioning and more on connection, expression, and creating images that feel natural and intentional.

Every technical choice I make is about creating an effortless experience — not just a sharp photo.

If you’re a photographer just starting out and trying to decide where to invest first, remember this: the “best” lens is the one that supports how you shoot and how you want your clients to feel.

📸 Fellow photographers — what lens do you reach for most during portrait sessions?

Drop it in the comments 👇🏻 I’d love to hear.

Looking for a job right now? This matters more than most people realize 👇🏻

In a competitive job market, your professional photo often makes the first impression — before your résumé is read, before an interview is scheduled, before you ever get the chance to speak.

And the truth is, not all photos communicate the same thing.

A strong headshot signals confidence, credibility, and readiness — without feeling stiff or overproduced. It shows that you take your career seriously and understand how you want to be perceived.

What actually works:

✅ Professional lighting that looks natural, not filtered
✅ Images that translate across LinkedIn, email signatures, and company profiles
✅ Guidance on wardrobe and posing so you feel confident and comfortable
✅ A photo that reflects who you are now, not who you were a few years ago

Whether you’re entering the workforce, changing roles, or positioning yourself for what’s next, your professional image plays a bigger role than you think.

If you’re ready to show up with clarity and confidence, I’d love to help.

Your 2026 version is calling, and she looks good. 📞✨

As we dive into the new year, the businesses that will stand out are the ones that lead with clarity and consistency.

When your entire team shows up with cohesive, high-quality headshots, it sends a message:

✅ We are professional
✅ We are a unit
✅ We pay attention to detail

These final results show exactly what happens when you prioritize your brand’s visual identity.

Investment in yourself is the only investment with a guaranteed return. How are you choosing to show up for your clients this year?

New year, new standards. DM me to discuss a headshot refresh for you OR your whole team!
Here's the truth 👇🏻

Your professional image is often the first impression potential clients and partners have of your expertise.

Starting 2026 with updated, polished headshots isn't just about looking good—it's about showing up with the credibility your experience deserves.

Whether it's for your website, LinkedIn, or your entire team's branding, professional imagery sends a clear message: you're serious about your business.

Ready to make 2026 your most credible year yet?

You know what's quietly costing you clients? 👇🏼

 Inconsistent branding.

When your team's headshots are all over the place—different backgrounds, different lighting, some from 2019—it's doing more damage than you think:

❌ Confuses your audience 
❌ Makes your business feel less established 
❌ Creates hesitation before booking 
❌ Forces you to "reintroduce" yourself every time you post

But here's what happens when your visual branding is cohesive and professional:

✔️ Builds recognition over time 
✔️ Makes showing up online easier 
✔️ Reinforces professionalism 
✔️ Creates momentum and trust

This is why I bring headshot stations directly to your corporate events—your entire team gets updated, consistent imagery without anyone having to schedule 47 individual appointments.

One session. Cohesive branding. Done.
