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!!

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.

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.

What are volume headshots? 🤔⬇️

They’re a quick, efficient way to give professionals access to high-quality headshots—without needing a full session.

Perfect for office buildings, coworking spaces, and companies that want to offer something valuable to their teams or tenants. Everyone signs up for a time slot, gets guided through a short session, and walks away with a polished, professional image.

Simple, streamlined, and a great experience all around.
