How to celebrate a milestone birthday

Milestone birthdays are the big ones!  When you become a teenager at 13, that’s a big one.  When you’re old enough to drive, another big one.  Legal voting and drinking ages, more milestones.  Then the big birthday milestones start to spread out a bit.  When you’re 40 and then 50, you get to celebrate as an adult and it’s a lot of fun!  First, gather your friends and family for the celebration.  Make sure there’s plenty of food and lots of music.  And drinks if you choose.  Then, just enjoy!  Enjoy the relationships you’ve made and the friends around you.  Enjoy the accomplishments of hard work and sacrifice.  Celebrate life!

Celebrating 50 Years with Roger

Roger’s wife planned a beautiful celebration for his 50th birthday.  Friends and family gathered at The Woodlands Country Club.  A beautifully planned and executed evening filled with love and laughter, food and drinks.  The live band was fantastic and made sure there were plenty of people on the dance floor throughout the night.  And the cake was just gorgeous.  You have to have cake to make it a celebration.  Everyone had a great time and I enjoyed capturing it all.  The final touch for celebrating a milestone birthday is having those memories in pictures so you can revisit them again and again.

My photography style is leaving my client with a photo they love to show off 🤍

Every session is designed to create images that feel elevated and effortless, capturing who you are now and where your brand is going next. 

Photos that make a statement without trying too hard — and still feel relevant years from now.

If your brand calls for imagery that feels confident, cohesive, and unmistakably you, you’re in the right place.

✨ Ready to create something elevated? 

Shoot me a DM and we'll get starting planning!

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.

The best part of this job?👇🏼

 Seeing clients recognize themselves in their photos — confident, professional, and proud — never gets old. 

Your kind words, trust, and support mean more than you know, and they’re the reason I love what I do every single day.

Every session is about more than just photos. It’s about helping you feel seen, confident, and represented in a way that truly feels like you.

Thank you to every client who’s trusted me with their story — and shared such thoughtful reviews along the way.

✨ Ready to create images you’ll love just as much?

Some poses might feel a little silly in the moment and that’s okay. 📸👇🏼

One of the biggest secrets to great photos is being willing to experiment.

What feels “unnatural” in real life often looks confident, effortless, and polished on camera. That’s why posing is such a big part of what I do during every session.

I’ll guide you through adjustments, test different angles, and fine-tune details so we find what truly works for you. 

You don’t need to overthink it or worry about how you look — trusting the process is where the magic happens.

You show up. I’ll handle the posing.

I hear this all the time — and the good news is, you don’t need to👇🏻

Guiding you through posing, angles, and expressions is literally my job.

During every session, I give clear, simple direction so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do next.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident — because that’s when you look your best. 

You’re never expected to “perform” or figure it out on your own. I’ll position you in ways that highlight your best features and feel natural to you.

All you need to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
