Senior Photography Tips

Want to make your senior photography session great?  Here are a few tips to keep in mind when planning for your session:

  1. Plan outfits with your photographer.  I like to suggest starting with the most formal that you can go.  For ladies, it might be a cute dress and for men, a suit if you can stand it.  Don’t worry, we won’t be in it for long!  Then, go for something fun that you absolutely love.  Finally, I suggest ending the session with the most casual outfit – jeans and a t-shirt or college shirt.
  2. Think about locations.  What locations have meaning for you?  Imagine you’re a track runner and love it, let’s get some images on the track.  Or you love nature and everything green, then let’s utilize the myriad of choices for greenery in The Woodlands!  If you prefer a more urban look, we can do that too.
  3. For session day, make sure everything is clean, pressed, and manicured.  Nails to shoes…everything matters so make sure it all looks good!
  4. Bring mom or a friend or both!  I love to have someone at the session who can help with wardrobe changes and to check for hair and outfits during the session.
  5. Bring props if that’s your thing!  If you play and instrument, have your cap and gown, play baseball, or football, or cross-stitch, bring them along.  These little things are reminders of who you are right now.  They don’t have to define your life but they are an important part of you.

Session with Lauren

We had a great time tromping around Old Town Spring for Lauren’s session.  It was really hot but so much fun with so many options for photos!  Lauren had planned her outfits and had suggested the location.  Lauren is a planner and was ready to go!  I love that.  She knew exactly what she wanted.  She started the session in an adorable romper and then changed into her black pants and red crop top.  I absolutely love the images with her red top and the red building.  Color speaks loudly in images and directs your attention.  Those images say just the right thing!

Let’s be honest 👇🏻

If you’re scaling your business in 2026, but your photos are still from 2021… something doesn’t align.

Outdated visuals do more than make your website look old — they quietly tell potential clients that your business hasn’t evolved.

📉 They can lower trust.
📉 Confuse your audience about who you are today.
📉 And make your brand feel disconnected from the level you’re actually operating at.

You’ve worked hard to grow your business — your visuals should reflect that.

Authentic, elevated, and aligned imagery shows that you’re confident in your direction and ready for new opportunities.

✨ Let’s create photos that position you where you’re headed, not where you’ve been.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If you’re ending 2025 with the same headshot you had in 2022, there’s a good chance it’s no longer telling the full story of who you are today.

You’ve grown. Your career has evolved. Your confidence, presence, and expertise have too.

And your headshot should reflect the current version of you — not the one from three years ago.

Here’s why an updated headshot matters:

✨ It builds trust
✨ It supports your career growth
✨ It aligns with major milestones

It’s time for a new headshot if you’ve ⬇️

✔️ Been promoted
✔️ Changed roles or industries
✔️ Stepped into leadership
✔️ Started a new business
✔️ Made a noticeable change in your appearance
✔️ Updated your personal brand
✔️ Outgrown the “old you”

✨ Bonus tip:

A good rule of thumb — if your headshot is more than 2 years old or doesn’t look like the person someone would see walking into a meeting today… it’s time.

You deserve a photo that represents who you are now — confident, polished, and stepping into your next chapter.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a full collection of cohesive, high-quality visuals that represent your next chapter — confident, polished, and unmistakably you.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

So many people wait to book their headshot because they feel like they need to “fix” something first.

Lose a little weight. Clear their skin. Feel more confident. Look more put-together.

But here’s the truth:

The version of you that exists right now is already worthy of being seen.

The best headshots don’t come from perfection — they come from authenticity.

Real expression. Real connection. Real confidence… even if you don’t quite feel it walking in.

During every session, I guide you through posing, lighting, and expression so you feel relaxed, supported, and comfortable — because that’s when the magic happens. You don’t have to know what to do. You don’t have to feel “ready.” You just have to show up.

✨ If you want a headshot that feels like you, I’d love to help.

If you’re hosting a holiday party this year… there’s something you don’t want to overlook 👇🏻

Your team is already together, dressed up, and in great spirits — which makes it the perfect moment to update everyone’s headshots. No juggling schedules, no tracking people down, no pulling anyone out of meetings. Just quick, polished photos your team can pop in for, and then head right back to the party.

It’s an easy way to add value to your celebration and give your employees something they’ll actually use heading into the new year. And with my streamlined event setup (and zero admin work for you), the process is effortless from start to finish.

✨ If you’re planning a holiday party, let’s talk about adding on-site headshots.
