How to use your LinkedIn network

LinkedIn is a social platform for business connections. It is not a social network for socializing…it’s business! Professional connections are the key to this platform. First, it’s a great idea to be on LinkedIn with a professional headshot and resume. If you can also get a few recommendations on your profile, that’s great too. You never know when you’ll need to look for a job or need a connection in your current role. Next, be sure to connect with current and past co-workers, friends, and acquaintances. It could be that your next job or lead comes from a friend of a friend. Finally, engage with your network by posting articles or just interacting with others on the site. Be a resource in your field and help others.

Headshots for Total Safety

On LinkedIn, I am connected to one of my husband’s former co-workers. She and I connected at several office Christmas parties and hit it off. She’s a fun personality and I always loved seeing her and chatting with her. Fast forward to her new job. She contacted me on LinkedIn asking about headshots for about 5 people in the office. I photographed her and her co-workers in the office and turned the headshots around so they could put them on the website. Her boss was thrilled. Thanks Alisa for thinking of me! I’m so glad I got to see my friend and provide a service to her company.

I`m stepping into the future of photography… and bringing you with me.

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend the Texas School of Professional Photography and take a deep dive into something I never thought I’d be so excited about: AI in photography.

Now before you picture robots with cameras (😅), let me clarify—this isn’t about replacing creativity or the personal connection behind the lens. It’s about enhancing the work I already do for you.

From intelligent background clean-up to faster retouching and subtle refinements that elevate the final image—AI is helping me spend less time behind the screen and more time focused on what matters: capturing your real, beautiful moments.

Continuing education is something I’ll always invest in—because staying inspired and evolving in my craft means I can keep delivering the very best to the people who trust me with their stories.

If you`re curious about how this new tech can take your session to the next level, let’s talk. I’m genuinely so excited to keep growing, learning, and creating with you. 💛

I get it—you’ve hired someone new, and now you need a matching headshot… but your original photographer is no longer available. 😬

Do you really have to start over and re-photograph the whole team?

Not if you hire someone who knows how to recreate what’s already working.

That’s where I come in.

When a company calls me in to match an existing set of headshots, I study every detail of your current images so your new photos blend in flawlessly—like they were taken on the same day.

Here’s what I focus on to make that happen:

✅ Lighting – Studio or natural? Soft, directional, or diffused?

✅ Background – Color, texture, and how sharp or blurry it is.

✅ Cropping & Composition – How close is the shot? What’s the framing like?

✅ Posing & Expression – Are your team members posed formally or relaxed and candid?

✅ Editing Style – Bright and airy? Bold and contrasty? Warm or cool tones?

📸 The result: a polished, consistent set of headshots that reflect your brand—even across time, locations, or different photographers.

✨ You don’t need to start over. You just need the right photographer.

Ready to match your headshots? I’d love to help. Send me a message to chat!

Your original headshot photographer is no longer available… and now you’re wondering if you have to start over.

Good news: you don’t.

When your team grows, I help you maintain that polished, cohesive look—even if I didn’t take the original photos. I study the lighting, background, posing, and editing style so your new team member blends in seamlessly.

Because when your headshots look consistent, your brand does too. ✨

This Mother’s Day, skip the flowers and give her something timeless—a moment, beautifully captured.

She’s been your biggest supporter, your soft place to land, your strength through every season of life.

And while you may not say it every day… you feel it deeply: the love, the gratitude, the bond that only grows stronger over time.

A family photo session isn’t just about the images.

It’s about carving out time to be present with each other.

It’s about documenting the connection, the laughter, the quiet strength, and the unspoken love that lives in every glance and every touch.

Whether you’re celebrating your mom, becoming one yourself, or honoring the memory of someone dear—these portraits become keepsakes.

Not just for now, but for years to come.

📸 Mother’s Day sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed to feel more like a meaningful experience than a posed shoot.

✨ Limited spots available—let’s create something she’ll treasure forever.

Here’s the thing—your brand is always evolving.

You might be offering new services, connecting with a different audience, or stepping more confidently into your role as a business owner. But if your photos still reflect where you were years ago, they’re not telling the right story anymore.

📸 Great branding photography isn’t just about looking polished—it’s about feeling aligned.

Because strong, consistent visuals:

✨ Build instant trust

✨ Make your business look cohesive and professional

✨ Help your dream clients see themselves working with you

Your photos should support the business you’ve grown into—not hold you back from where you’re going next.

If you’re ready to elevate your brand, attract the right clients, and finally feel like your photos match your message—I’d love to help you get there.
