Class of 2025

As we approach the start of a new school year, it’s time for the Class of 2025 to start thinking about their senior portraits. These portraits are more than just a photo; they are a celebration of the journey, the achievements, and the bright future ahead. This year, senior portrait themes are more creative and personalized than ever, allowing each senior to showcase their unique personality and style.

Classic Elegance

The timeless look never goes out of style. Classic elegance involves sophisticated clothing, neutral backgrounds, and traditional poses. Think black and white photography, formal attire, and serene expressions. This theme exudes maturity and grace, perfect for seniors looking to create a polished and refined impression.

Nature Lover

For seniors who feel at home in the great outdoors, a nature-themed photo shoot is ideal. Forests, beaches, gardens, and fields provide stunning backdrops. Natural lighting and earthy tones can enhance the serene and adventurous spirit of these seniors. This theme highlights a love for the environment and an adventurous spirit.

Urban Vibe

City streets, graffiti walls, and industrial settings offer a modern and edgy backdrop for senior portraits. This theme is perfect for seniors who love the hustle and bustle of urban life. It captures the energy, vibrancy, and dynamic spirit of city living, making each photo pop with life and color.

For the athletic seniors, incorporating their favorite sport into their portrait session can be a great way to capture their passion.

His headshot made him more money… and here’s why 👇🏼

When my videographer finally swapped his profile photo for the professional headshot I took, something changed.

✅ More responses to cold DMs
✅ Better leads
✅ Real revenue growth

All from one simple update.

It’s not magic — it’s psychology.

🤝 People do business with people.

They want to see the face behind the brand, connect with a real human, and feel like they can trust who they’re hiring or buying from.

Your headshot is often the first impression you make online. Make sure it actually represents the real you — confident, approachable, and ready for the opportunities you want to attract.

These 5 photos will completely transform your real estate brand 👇🏼

Whether you’re a solo agent building a personal brand or a growing team trying to stand out in a crowded market—your photos matter.

Because real estate is personal. People want to see who they’re working with and feel like they can trust you.

Here are 5 must-have brand photos I recommend for every real estate professional:

📸 Professional Team or Solo Portraits
Polished but approachable. Whether it’s a team shot or a solo headshot, these are the foundation of your brand.

📸 Cohesive Headshots
A unified look builds brand recognition and creates a stronger first impression—especially across platforms.

📸 Lifestyle Images
Show yourself (or your team) in action: walking a property, chatting with clients, reviewing listings. These help clients picture the experience of working with you.

📸 Detail Shots
From signage to coffee cups and closing folders, detail shots add depth and personality to your brand story.

📸 On-Location Photos
Highlight your market and your vibe—whether it’s downtown, the suburbs, or somewhere in between.

Let’s be real—getting your photo taken can feel super awkward.
You’re standing in front of a camera, trying to look natural… and it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s where I come in.

My goal isn’t just to take a great headshot—it’s to make sure you feel great while we’re doing it.

🗣 I keep things casual and conversational so you’re not stuck in your head.
🙌🏼 I give real-time encouragement to help you feel supported and at ease.
📲 And I stream your images to an iPad so you can see exactly how things are going—and speak up if something feels off.

Because the best photos don’t happen when you’re perfectly posed.
They happen when you’re relaxed, confident, and feel like yourself.

What is your headshot or branding saying about you?

Because whether you realize it or not… your image is already telling a story.
The question is — is it the right one?

Your photo is often your first impression: on LinkedIn, your website, your business card, even your email signature. And people will make assumptions based on what they see.

✔️ Does your headshot show confidence and approachability?
✔️ Does it reflect your personality, values, and professionalism?
✔️ Or is it outdated, unclear, or totally misaligned with where you're headed?

Your image should tell your story before you even speak.
Make sure it’s the one you want people to hear.

Let’s capture photos that reflect the real you — with intention, authenticity, and style.
