Personalize your senior portraits

You made it!  You can see the finish line of your senior year in high school.  There are so many things to do and to think about.  So much planning for the future and saying goodbyes.  The senior portrait session is a very special session for the senior and for the parents.  Make it special and personal! Bring some things with you that express who you are and what you love.  A new college t-shirt, your old baseball bat, or your dog!  All of these things tell a little story about you and are perfect to include in your senior portraits.  I love seeing these things in my sessions with seniors.  It makes them real and beautiful.

A senior session with Brandon

My senior session with Brandon was fantastic!  We started with pictures with his car – and the brand new Texas Tech sticker and sweatshirt.  I love how the colors of the sweatshirt match the car!  Totally not planned.  And of course since we did the session at his home, the dog was ready for her closeup as well.  He’ll miss her while he’s away at college but she’ll be patiently waiting for his return on holidays.  Behind the house, the woods made a perfect backdrop for a natural environment portrait.  These are some of my favorites from the session.  Finally, we ended the session at the high school track.  Some posed shots and a few action shots later and we were able to capture a sport that Brandon loves and was such a big part of his high school life.  Just look at all of those medals!!

Let’s talk about AI headshots. 🤖 ⬇️

Here’s the thing: while AI can mimic your likeness, it can’t replace the real you. People who know you can still tell the difference between an authentic photograph and a computer-generated image stitched together from selfies.

When it comes to building trust with your clients, patients, or audience, authenticity matters. Real portraits create real connection.

That said, I do love using AI-powered tools — not to fake who you are, but to enhance your photos. Tools that smooth, sharpen, and polish while keeping your portraits truthful, authentic, and you.

Because your clients deserve to meet the real person behind the brand.

📸 Ready for headshots that feel polished and authentic? Shoot me a DM!

When you show up like a pro, doors start opening.

We wrapped this session with a simple truth: “Kyle’s going to go off and do great things.”

And he will—because he’s putting his best foot forward, starting with how he presents himself. A high-quality headshot might seem like a small thing, but it can make a powerful first impression that opens doors to new jobs, clients, or collaborations.

When you look the part, you feel the part—and the world responds accordingly.

Ever wondered why your headshots look flat instead of flattering? 👀

It all comes down to lighting. In the studio, I use one main light source and strategically placed reflectors to bounce light and fill in shadows. This creates that soft, even glow that makes you look approachable and polished—while still keeping a touch of shadow to add shape and dimension to your face.

Flat lighting can make your features disappear. The right lighting makes you stand out. ✨

Here’s why 👇🏻

Most people wait for the “perfect” moment—when they’ve lost a few pounds, changed their hair, or finally feel more confident. But here’s the truth: there will always be something you’re waiting on.

Your headshot isn’t about some future version of you—it’s about showing up confidently in the season you’re in today. Because this version of you? The one leading your team, meeting clients, building your business—that’s the version people want to connect with.

When your photo feels authentic and current, it builds instant trust. Outdated or staged images can actually do the opposite, making it harder for people to recognize the real you.

So don’t wait for “someday.” The right time to show up as your best self is always now.

📸 Ready for a refresh? Let’s create a headshot that feels true to you.

🚫 Let’s talk wardrobe no-nos for headshots.

I want you to look polished, confident, and distraction-free in your photos—and sometimes that means skipping certain outfit choices.

For men:

❌ No undershirts peeking through

❌ If you’re wearing a tie, make sure your shirt buttons all the way up

❌ If it doesn’t, we’re ditching the tie

For women:

❌ Skip the sleeveless tops—your arms will compete with your face for attention

✅ A sleeve (even short) helps keep the focus where it belongs—on YOU

The goal? A clean, intentional look that draws people in and keeps their attention right where it should be—your face.

📸 Save this before your session so you can show up ready and confident.
