Outdoor Headshots

Outdoor headshots are a great option for a more relaxed, yet professional look. The natural environment provides a soft and colorful background. When we schedule outdoor headshots, we have to plan ahead a little more than with a studio session. We want to schedule around the best times for outdoor portraits which is usually within 2 hours after sunrise or 2 hours before sunset. These are the optimal times when the lighting is softer and warmer. For photographers, the lighting is key to ensuring a well-lit and properly exposed photograph. The color temperature is important too for skin tones. With all of these considerations, outdoor headshots can be a great alternative to the standard studio headshot. Contact me and let’s discuss your outdoor headshot session!

Headshots for Nada

Nada contacted me about a headshot session that included some outdoor headshots. In the end, she loved the outdoor headshots. Her soft curls and soft background created a beautiful portrait. And her burgundy blouse is a great wardrobe choice. The color is gorgeous and it is feminine but still professional. With these three new outdoor headshots, Nada has some options for her company website, LinkedIn profile, and other social media profiles.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

If you’re a new photographer trying to figure all of this out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you get started — from gear to posing and more.

Perks of having a photographer mom?… you get senior photos that actually feel like you. 🤍

Getting to photograph my own son for his senior session was really special — and it’s also a perfect reminder of how important it is to make these sessions personal.

The guitar, the truck… these aren’t just props. They’re pieces of his story right now.

That’s what makes senior photos meaningful — capturing who you are in this moment, not just what you look like.

If you’re planning a senior session, think about what represents you — your hobbies, your interests, the things you’ll want to remember years from now.

Those are the details that turn photos into something you’ll truly hold onto.

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.
