The Importance of Family Portraits

As a mom and your Spring family photographer, I see families grow and change before my lens.  Our babies grow up right before our eyes.  One day you’re changing diapers and helping them to learn how to walk.  A few phone calls and sleepless nights later and those babies are driving off to college.  I personally am in the middle of the chaos right now.  My babies are in 3rd and 6th grades.   But I see the day ahead of me when they will leave and I’ll wonder where the time has gone.  All of the soccer games and football practices and recitals and music lessons were a whirlwind of chaos that is our lives.  Beautiful, messy chaos.  A note to myself and to others in the midst of the struggle: take a moment to enjoy your family.  Take a walk.  Color the picture.  Go out for ice cream.  Get family portraits made and display them in your home.  Celebrate life and the joy and the heartbreak that comes with it all.  Be together and love each other.

The Sanders Family

I first met Valerie when our church was searching for a music director.  I vividly remember the day that she called the church after seeing the sign posting for the position.  Since I was part of the search committee, I called her and we had a great conversation.  The church hired her and we have been so blessed to have her amazing musical talent with us ever since.  I’ve also watched the kids grow and mature into the young adults that they have become.  What a beautiful experience.  This family is special to me – I love them to pieces and I’m so glad to call them my friends.  All my best Sanders family!

If I had a dollar for every time a client said, “I’m not photogenic”… I could retire.

But here’s the truth:

That phrase? It’s not a fact.
It’s a story you’ve been telling yourself — one of those “little t” truths that feels real, but isn’t.

The real truth?
✨ You are photogenic.
📸 You just haven’t had someone help you see it yet.

Most of us aren’t perfectly symmetrical. Most of us feel awkward in front of the camera. That’s NORMAL.

But with the right lighting, posing, angles — and someone who knows how to bring out your best — that all changes.

You don’t need to look like anyone else.
You just need to feel like you.

And that’s where I come in. 💛

Ready to finally love the way you show up in photos? Contact me — I got you.

Want people to remember you? Start with this 👇🏻

Your face is your most powerful branding tool — and science backs it up. 🧠

We’re wired to recognize and remember faces, especially when we see them consistently. So if your headshot is outdated, inconsistent, or missing altogether… you could be missing out on real connections.

Here are 5 reasons to invest in a professional headshot that aligns with your brand:

1. First impressions happen online. Make yours count.

2. Visual consistency builds trust. People recognize what they see often.

3. A polished photo = instant credibility.

4. It helps people feel like they know you. Before you’ve even met.

5. Recognition = recall. Repetition helps people remember you.

📩 DM me to book your consultation — let’s create a headshot that helps your brand stick.
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.
