Senior Sessions

Being a high school senior is different now than it used to be.  And high school portraits are very different than they used to be.  The school photographer used to be the only choice you had for senior portraits.  The cap and gown or a drape.  Sit, smile, good senior.  Now, there are many photographers and lots of variety of styles out there to choose from.  Most seniors have their own senior session with a photographer of their choice outside of the school.  I love photographing high school seniors.  They are lots of fun!  I love it when they make the session their own.  I always encourage seniors to bring something that has meaning for them – an instrument, soccer cleats, letter jacket, favorite pet, or whatever!  Those personal touches make fantastic images that you will cherish for a long time.

Senior Portraits with Brian

Brian is a senior at John Cooper School in The Woodlands.  His mom contacted me about a senior session before the yearbook deadline.  Great!  Brian brought a couple of different outfits to wear for the session.  The best part of the session was when we got to a bridge at the park.  We took a few shots in a gorgeous spot on the bridge with dark green foliage making a canopy over his head in the background.  Then Brian did something unexpected.  He jumped down off the bridge and started climbing the rocks beneath.  He had an idea for an image.  Luckily, I had a long lens and could stand on the bridge and photograph him from there.  I love that he saw that image in his head and made it happen.  And he absolutely loved the final image on those rocks!  He’ll have that memory for a long time.  Until the day he says, “back in my day, you could climb rocks and take your senior pictures.”

When was the last time you updated your headshot? 👀

If your photo is from 10, 15, or even 30 years ago… it’s time.

Using an outdated headshot might seem harmless, but it can actually break trust — especially in professions where connection, credibility, and transparency matter (which is… all of them).

💬 Imagine a client or patient walks in expecting the person they saw online… and barely recognizes you.
It may feel small, but it instantly creates a disconnect.

Here’s the truth:
✅ Your clients want to see the real you.
✅ A recent headshot builds trust and shows you’re showing up with integrity.
✅ If your look has changed significantly (new hair, new role, new energy!) — it’s time.

Keep it current. Keep it real.
And if you’re not sure where to start, I’ve got you. DM me for a free consultation. 📸✨
Pretty pictures aren’t enough.

If you don’t know who your audience is, your branding photos won’t do what they’re supposed to do — build trust, tell your story, and attract the right clients.

Before every branding session, I walk my clients through a strategy call where we get crystal clear on two things:

1️⃣ Who are you speaking to?
2️⃣ What message do you want to send?

Because a realtor needs to connect with buyers and sellers.
An attorney needs to earn trust.
A coach needs to show confidence and approachability.

Intentional imagery makes all the difference.
📸 Let’s create brand photos that actually work for you.

📆 Contact me to schedule your session or learn more about our branding process.
What should you wear for your headshot session?
It depends on how you want to show up.

Your outfit sets the tone — and the right level of polish helps you appear confident, credible, and uniquely you.

Here are 4 levels of formality to help you choose the best look for your headshots 👇🏻

1️⃣ The Modern Suit Jacket
Crisp, structured, and powerful. Perfect for executives, attorneys, and leadership roles.

2️⃣ Soft Professional (No Jacket)
A sleek blouse or polished top with clean lines. Professional without being stiff — great for coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs.

3️⃣ Elevated Casual (Sweaters & Knits)
A fitted knit or stylish sweater gives an approachable, warm, and modern vibe. Ideal for creatives, educators, or small business owners.

4️⃣ Casual Short Sleeve
Simple, solid, and flattering. Feels relaxed but still polished — great for wellness pros, lifestyle brands, or startup teams.

✨ Quick Styling Tips:
– Stick to solid colors that flatter your skin tone
– Skip busy prints & distracting accessories
– Choose wrinkle-free, well-fitting pieces
– Bring a backup outfit or layering option!

🎯 Not sure what’s best for your brand?

We go over wardrobe during your pre-session consultation — so you’ll feel 100% confident in what you wear and how you show up.
