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.

Just a little reminder that if your professional headshot has been sitting on your to-do list for the last six months (or six years 😅), I'm here when you're ready!

Whether you're updating your LinkedIn, stepping into a new role, refreshing your website, or just realizing that your current headshot doesn't quite look like you anymore, having a professional photo you're confident sharing makes a difference.

And if the thought of getting in front of the camera makes you a little nervous, don't worry. You don't need to know how to pose, what to do with your hands, or how to find your best angle.

That's what I'm here for! I'll guide you through the whole process so you walk away with photos that feel natural, professional, and most importantly, like you.

📸 Ready to finally check those headshots off your list? Head to the link in my bio to book your session!
Well, since I'm already here… we might as well get those family photos on the calendar! 😂📸

I know how it goes. You keep saying you need to update your family portraits, but between school, work, sports, and everything else on your calendar, another year somehow slips by.

And suddenly, the kids are a little taller, everyone's a little older, and you're still looking at the same family photo from three years ago.

Here's your reminder that family photos don't have to be complicated or perfectly planned.

I'll help you choose a location, coordinate outfits, and guide you through the session. And yes, we'll get those classic everyone-looking-at-the-camera photos, but we'll also capture the laughs, the cuddles, the silly moments, and all the little things that make your family YOUR family. 🤍

🍂 Still hoping to get family photos done this fall? I have a few weekend openings left, and I'd love to get your family in front of my camera before the season wraps up!

Head to the link in my bio to reserve your session. Let's make those family photos you've been talking about actually happen! 😉
Meet Noah... 👇🏻

Noah recently came in for a personal branding session, but not because he's launching a business or promoting a service.

He's written a memoir! 📖

He wanted a collection of professional images he could use on his website to promote his book, with the possibility of using a few for his author portrait inside the book or on the back cover.

And this is such a great example of why personal branding photography isn't just for business owners!

Authors, speakers, artists, coaches, and creatives can all benefit from having a professional collection of images that represents who they are and what they're working toward.

Think about it... one branding session can give you photos for your website, social media, promotional materials, press features, professional bios, and so much more.

It's about having a variety of images that tell your story, help people connect with you, and give you the flexibility to show up professionally wherever your work takes you.

And that's exactly what we wanted to create for Noah!

Whether you're writing a book, launching a new project, or building a business, I'd love to help you create images that support your next chapter.

Oh, just a few… 😉📸

Senior portraits are easily one of my favorite things to photograph! There's something so fun about working with seniors at such an exciting time in their lives.

And one thing I always want my seniors to know? Your senior portraits should look and feel like YOU.

Whether that means dressing up, keeping things casual, incorporating your favorite hobby or sport, bringing along your car or even your pet, I'm all for making your session personal.

We'll choose locations, plan outfits, and create a variety of images that show off your personality. And don't worry if you have absolutely no idea how to pose. That's my job!

From the classic portraits your parents will want hanging on the wall to the fun, personality-filled shots you'll want to share with all your friends, we'll make sure you get a little bit of everything.

🎓 Class of 2027, it's your turn! Senior year is already flying by, and now is the time to get your session on the calendar.
