Pink Petro LAUNCH! | Houston Headshot Photographer

Katie Mehnert.  CEO and Founder of Pink Petro.  We went to high school together.  We’re friends on Facebook so I keep up with her life.  She left her corporate job and after some time and a conversation with a stranger on a plane, decided to start Pink Petro.  Within 6 weeks, with the help of Jive Software, Halliburton, and Shell, Pink Petro was off the ground and launched!  Way to go Katie!

Pink Petro is a social network for the support of women in the energy industry.  Are men members of this group?  Of course.  Real men wear pink, you know.

“Individuals, companies and organizations apply for membership [to Pink Petro].  We connect you to the best resources, content, and rich conversations because we hand select who joins. Our spam-free global platform provides all the features you’d expect from a business social community minus the noise.  (And, both women and men are welcome!)”

Pink Petro is the business social channel for women in energy.  “We unite, connect, develop, and grow women.”

Mayor Annise Parker spoke at the launch party.  She advised the group to “sharpen your ax”.  Be good at what you do, whatever it is.  AND she said to the women, “take your friends with you!”

Katie asked me to come and take headshots during the launch party.  I was thrilled!  A little nervous about taking the Mayor’s headshot, especially when there was a video camera in my face while I was shooting.  But we made it through.  And I met lots of great people who now have a headshot that they can use for their professional careers…remember no scary grey silhouettes on LinkedIn, right?

His headshot made him more money… and here’s why 👇🏼

When my videographer finally swapped his profile photo for the professional headshot I took, something changed.

✅ More responses to cold DMs
✅ Better leads
✅ Real revenue growth

All from one simple update.

It’s not magic — it’s psychology.

🤝 People do business with people.

They want to see the face behind the brand, connect with a real human, and feel like they can trust who they’re hiring or buying from.

Your headshot is often the first impression you make online. Make sure it actually represents the real you — confident, approachable, and ready for the opportunities you want to attract.

These 5 photos will completely transform your real estate brand 👇🏼

Whether you’re a solo agent building a personal brand or a growing team trying to stand out in a crowded market—your photos matter.

Because real estate is personal. People want to see who they’re working with and feel like they can trust you.

Here are 5 must-have brand photos I recommend for every real estate professional:

📸 Professional Team or Solo Portraits
Polished but approachable. Whether it’s a team shot or a solo headshot, these are the foundation of your brand.

📸 Cohesive Headshots
A unified look builds brand recognition and creates a stronger first impression—especially across platforms.

📸 Lifestyle Images
Show yourself (or your team) in action: walking a property, chatting with clients, reviewing listings. These help clients picture the experience of working with you.

📸 Detail Shots
From signage to coffee cups and closing folders, detail shots add depth and personality to your brand story.

📸 On-Location Photos
Highlight your market and your vibe—whether it’s downtown, the suburbs, or somewhere in between.

Let’s be real—getting your photo taken can feel super awkward.
You’re standing in front of a camera, trying to look natural… and it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s where I come in.

My goal isn’t just to take a great headshot—it’s to make sure you feel great while we’re doing it.

🗣 I keep things casual and conversational so you’re not stuck in your head.
🙌🏼 I give real-time encouragement to help you feel supported and at ease.
📲 And I stream your images to an iPad so you can see exactly how things are going—and speak up if something feels off.

Because the best photos don’t happen when you’re perfectly posed.
They happen when you’re relaxed, confident, and feel like yourself.
