Portrait | Houston Headshot Photographer

Portrait

Whether it’s a headshot or family or senior, a portrait is an important piece of history.  A superb portrait is one that is carefully planned and executed according to the vision of the artist and subject.  Ideally, the two work together towards this common goal of the portrait.  For a headshot, it is important for the subject to convey a vision for what they hope the end result will be.  The artist can then use the technical tools of lighting and camera to create the portrait.  Just as important are the softer skills of posing and creating a natural expression.  This will result in a portrait that truly represents the subject.  This is the greatest compliment to the artist – that someone looks their truest and best!

Headshots for Thersa

What an honor to photograph a fellow respected photographer!  Thersa asked me about updating her headshot for her photography business.  Since we already knew each other, it was an easy yes!  She’s in the process of updating her website and wanted a fresh, gorgeous new headshot to go along with the new look.  We had Roxana do hair and makeup and then started on the session.  We started with some studio shots (studio lighting and background).  Then we moved to natural light and caught some amazing expressions and posing.  Thersa had a hard time deciding on favorites but ultimately chose a few that truly represent her and her fun personality!  I wish you continued success, Thersa in your business!

Some poses might feel a little silly in the moment and that’s okay. 📸👇🏼

One of the biggest secrets to great photos is being willing to experiment.

What feels “unnatural” in real life often looks confident, effortless, and polished on camera. That’s why posing is such a big part of what I do during every session.

I’ll guide you through adjustments, test different angles, and fine-tune details so we find what truly works for you.

You don’t need to overthink it or worry about how you look — trusting the process is where the magic happens.

You show up. I’ll handle the posing.

Your face is the star of your headshot — and how your hair frames it makes all the difference. ✨

Here`s what most people miss: hair should frame your features, not compete with them.

✨ Thicker hair? Pull it back to highlight your face.

✨ Thinner hair? Bring it forward for balance and dimension.

Small adjustments like this help your headshot truly reflect you — confident, polished, and professional.

The goal is simple: when someone sees your photo, they see YOU. Your personality, your confidence, your energy — all in one image.

Here`s why a branding session should be on your 2026 business to-do list:👇🏼

Fresh professional photos aren`t just about looking polished (though that`s nice too).

Think about it: Your website needs updated imagery. Your social media needs consistent visuals. Your email signature needs a current headshot. Your speaking proposals need professional photos. Your media kit needs variety.

Without a strategic branding session, you`re either:

❌ Using the same 3 photos on repeat (hello, stale feed)

❌ Scrambling with last-minute iPhone selfies that don`t match your brand

❌ Wasting time every month trying to create new content

A solid branding session gives you dozens of professional images you can pull from all year long. Different backgrounds, different outfits, different vibes—all ready to go when you need them.

Stop recreating the wheel every time you need a visual. Get it done once, use it everywhere.

Ready to stock your content vault? Let`s talk strategy.
