Designer Vivienne Tam

Vivienne Tam, honored by Forbes Magazine as one of the “25 Top Chinese-Americans in Business”, is an international designer known for her culture-bridging, east-meets-west approach to design as well as pioneering global collaborations marrying fashion with technology and renowned brands.  Tam effortlessly blends her cultural roots with a modern design vocabulary recognized for its artistry.

She visited Houston and was so inspired by the city that she created a Houston line.  The Vivienne Tam Houston Line debuted at the River Oaks District shop Bannou on May 4.  I was honored to capture this special debut and luncheon followed by a fashion show.

Here is a little bit of the Houston Chronicle interview with Vivienne Tam.  Click for the entire Houston Chronicle article.  See the post on Vogue for the entire Houston line.

Why do a collection inspired by Houston?

A: I visited Houston and fell in love with the diversity of the people, the images I saw. It gave me so much inspiration that people in Houston come from all different parts of the world.

What do you want people to take away from your designs?

A: I feel like I’m a bridge between different cultures. I get so much joy when people say they love my designs and wear them. So much joy.

When someone lands on your profile or website, they make a decision in seconds. 👀

Are you credible? Professional? Trustworthy?

Your branding images answer those questions before you ever say a word.

Strong, consistent visuals don’t just “look nice” — they build recognition, trust, and momentum. They show potential clients who you are, what you do, and the level you operate at.

And if your business has grown?
Your visuals should grow with it. ✨

It’s almost senior portrait season again… and somehow, it always arrives faster than we expect. ✨

Senior portraits are a way to pause time just for a moment and celebrate who they are right now, before everything changes.

If you’re starting to think about senior portraits, now is the perfect time to begin planning.

📩 DM me to learn more about senior sessions and availability.

One of the biggest reasons people put off booking a branding session?

They have no idea what to expect.

And when you don't know the process, it's easy to talk yourself out of investing.

So here's the truth👇🏻

I'm not just showing up to take photos. I'm walking you through every step so you feel confident, prepared, and like you're working with a partner who actually gets your business.

No guessing. No awkward posing. No "figure it out yourself" energy.

If you've been waiting for the right time to update your brand imagery, let's talk. Link in bio to book your free consultation. 📸

My photography style is leaving my client with a photo they love to show off 🤍

Every session is designed to create images that feel elevated and effortless, capturing who you are now and where your brand is going next. 

Photos that make a statement without trying too hard — and still feel relevant years from now.

If your brand calls for imagery that feels confident, cohesive, and unmistakably you, you’re in the right place.

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.

The best part of this job?👇🏼

 Seeing clients recognize themselves in their photos — confident, professional, and proud — never gets old. 

Your kind words, trust, and support mean more than you know, and they’re the reason I love what I do every single day.

Every session is about more than just photos. It’s about helping you feel seen, confident, and represented in a way that truly feels like you.

Thank you to every client who’s trusted me with their story — and shared such thoughtful reviews along the way.

✨ Ready to create images you’ll love just as much?
