A beautiful holiday party coordinated and planned by Gray & Associates. The En-Fab office was transformed into a candy cane for their holiday party. Employees and their families enjoyed lunch, this gorgeous and delicious cake (Cakes by Gina), Santa photos, face painting, and lots of fun! To me, it is an important statement when a...
Events are happy occasions and I especially love birthday parties! I have photographed a number of this family’s milestones and I’ve become a part of their tradition. I’m so happy to share in their lives and capture the joy of being with family and friends – because that’s what it’s all about for them. The...
Mary Ann contacted me about photographing the practice’s Christmas party. It would be a Great Gatsby theme. Fantastic, I thought! Little did I know the lengths that these folks would go to for this party! One person bought a dress on eBay. Another brought a Tommy gun. Everyone was beautifully dressed and ready to have...
Pierce’s Mom, Tiffany, asked me to photograph her son’s birthday party about 6 months prior to the event. The party was held on Pleasure Pier in Galveston! What a great setting for a birthday party!

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.
Not sure what to wear for your headshot? You’re not alone.
From buttoned-up blazers to soft knits and summery tops, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer—and that’s a good thing.
📸 Your headshot should reflect you: your profession, your personality, your brand.
In this post, I’m breaking down four wardrobe levels I guide clients through all the time. Whether you lean classic, casual, or somewhere in between, there’s a look that will help you feel confident and camera-ready.
👉🏻 Need help choosing the right outfit for your session? I’ve got you covered.
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.

Summer might be the best time for family portraits—and here’s why.
Fall gets all the hype, but it also brings packed schedules, tight timelines, and holiday stress. Summer? It’s lighter. Looser. Happier.
The kids are home. The evenings are longer. And yes—there’s golden light and gorgeous greenery everywhere.
Whether you want an outdoor session or something cozy indoors (hello, air conditioning!), summer gives you the flexibility to actually enjoy the experience.
Swipe through for just a few reasons to book your family photos now—not later.
📅 Let’s chat about what kind of session fits your family best.
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.
✨ Ready to make the switch?

Every kind word from a client feels like fuel for what I do—and this one really lit me up. 💛
I’m so grateful to work with incredible teams who value connection, professionalism, and showing up as their best selves. Creating headshots that reflect who someone is (not just what they do) is the heart of my work—and it’s a joy every single time.
If you’re thinking about updating your team’s headshots, I’d love to help.
