How to plan your realtor headshots

For realtors, the professional headshot is the first step in the marketing process.  All of your marketing materials (business cards, signs, websites, banners, etc.) require a professional headshot.  So, let’s plan your realtor headshots.

First, find a professional photographer in your area that specializes in headshots.  Yes, anyone can take a headshot and I’m sure that you have a fantastic selfie.  However, a professional photographer will use lighting, posing, and professional equipment to create a high quality image that can be used on printed marketing materials.  That selfie will not print well on your billboard or sign!  And a professional who specializes in headshots will easily guide the session for exactly what you need.

Next, plan for the session with your photographer.  Discuss location, background, and wardrobe.  Who is your broker and what colors are prominent in the brand?  Make sure the clothing and background coordinate with the brand colors.  A simple studio background will allow for the headshot to be used for a variety of marketing materials.

Finally, relax and have fun during your headshot session!  Talk to your photographer and just be yourself.  Those relaxed smiles and poses will make the resulting images confident, warm, and welcoming.

Realtor headshots for Elia

Elia just got her real estate license in the state of Texas.  She’s ready to start a new career and needed a headshot.  Her broker is Keller Williams The Woodlands and the brand colors are mostly red and white.  Elia was reviewing the business cards and showed me a few of her favorite designs.  This discussion led to our choice of her grey sweater and her red sweater.  The dark grey background will look great with the darker business card and her headshot will fit seamlessly into the template.  She’s ready for marketing her new business.  All my best Elia in your new adventures!

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If your brand photos aren’t working… it’s probably because they’re not telling the full story. 📖

So many business owners come to me thinking they just need a good headshot. And while that’s a great pace to start—it’s not enough to truly connect with your audience.

When I work with clients on branding sessions, we create a variety of images that show who you are, how you work, and what it’s like to be in your world. Because that’s what people really want to see.

Here are 5 types of brand photos I recommend for every business owner ⬇️

📸 Classic Headshot – Professional and polished, but with personality. Think confident, approachable, and totally on-brand.

📸 Lifestyle – You doing your thing—working on your laptop, taking client calls, sipping coffee. These shots feel natural and authentic (because they are).

📸 Detail or Flat Lay – The close-ups: your hands writing, your products, your favorite pen and planner. These add texture and storytelling to your visuals.

📸 Environment/Context – Your space, your vibe. Whether it’s a cozy home office or a sleek meeting room, it helps clients imagine being there with you.

📸Team or Interaction Shots – Collaborating, problem-solving, laughing. People want to see connection—these images make your brand feel human.

Every image we create is intentional—designed to help your audience picture themselves working with you and to build that all-important trust before they ever reach out.

✨ Ready to show up with confidence and clarity? Let’s make it happen. DM me today to book your FREE consultation.

I get it—you’ve hired someone new, and now you need a matching headshot… but your original photographer is no longer available. 😬

Do you really have to start over and re-photograph the whole team?

Not if you hire someone who knows how to recreate what’s already working.

That’s where I come in.

When a company calls me in to match an existing set of headshots, I study every detail of your current images so your new photos blend in flawlessly—like they were taken on the same day.

Here’s what I focus on to make that happen:

✅ Lighting – Studio or natural? Soft, directional, or diffused?

✅ Background – Color, texture, and how sharp or blurry it is.

✅ Cropping & Composition – How close is the shot? What’s the framing like?

✅ Posing & Expression – Are your team members posed formally or relaxed and candid?

✅ Editing Style – Bright and airy? Bold and contrasty? Warm or cool tones?

📸 The result: a polished, consistent set of headshots that reflect your brand—even across time, locations, or different photographers.

✨ You don’t need to start over. You just need the right photographer.

Ready to match your headshots? I’d love to help. Send me a message to chat!

This Mother’s Day, skip the flowers and give her something timeless—a moment, beautifully captured.

She’s been your biggest supporter, your soft place to land, your strength through every season of life.

And while you may not say it every day… you feel it deeply: the love, the gratitude, the bond that only grows stronger over time.

A family photo session isn’t just about the images.

It’s about carving out time to be present with each other.

It’s about documenting the connection, the laughter, the quiet strength, and the unspoken love that lives in every glance and every touch.

Whether you’re celebrating your mom, becoming one yourself, or honoring the memory of someone dear—these portraits become keepsakes.

Not just for now, but for years to come.

📸 Mother’s Day sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed to feel more like a meaningful experience than a posed shoot.

✨ Limited spots available—let’s create something she’ll treasure forever.
