When to update your headshot

When was the last time you updated your headshot?  If it’s been more than a year or two, it’s probably time for an update.  I know that you were younger and thinner in your last photo but here are a few things to consider.  Remember that this headshot instills trust with clients and step one is that your headshot represents who you are now!

  1. Has your look changed dramatically (weight loss, hair length for women, got glasses or got rid of them)?  If you look completely different than in your past photo, it’s time for an update.
  2. Has your role or company changed?  If you’re now in a different role, you might need a new look to compliment that role.  Or a different company may have a different look.
  3. Have you started a new venture?  If so, new images will create interest and speak to your potential clients.
  4. What is the quality of your current headshot?  If it’s blurry or distracting or cropped too tight or too loose or over/under-exposed, it’s time for a new headshot.  All of these things affect your impression.

Headshot Samples

Here are some recent headshot sessions.  Most of these are updates for new employees at companies that I have photographed in the past.  When we use a studio setup, it’s easy to add new employees to the mix and have a coherent look with the rest of your company’s headshots.

Senior portraits are just one piece of what I do 👇🏻

I also work with:
✅ professionals who need updated headshots
✅ business owners building their brand
✅ families capturing this season of life
✅ and actors/models creating strong portfolio images

Different sessions—but the same goal:
helping people show up confidently and authentically on camera

📩 If you’re not sure what kind of session you need, let’s figure it out together—link in bio to learn more.
Senior sessions with moms and sons are always… an experience 😂

A little back-and-forth, a few eye rolls, and somehow we still end up with photos everyone loves.

Honestly, those in-between moments are usually the best part.

📩 DM me if you’ve been putting off senior photos—there’s still time.
Senior photos shouldn’t feel random… they should feel like you. 👇🏻

Before every session, we talk through a few key things to make sure your photos actually reflect this moment in your life:

✅ Location — what kind of vibe fits you? (nature, city, something more edgy?)
✅ Wardrobe — casual, polished, cap & gown, college tee… we plan it out
✅ Hobbies & interests — the things you love right now that you’ll want to remember later

Because the goal isn’t just to take photos…
it’s to capture who you are right now before everything changes. 🎓

📩 If you’re planning senior photos, let’s start with a consultation and build something intentional.

Cap and gown season is here 🎓

If you didn’t get senior photos done earlier, this is your moment—professional cap & gown photos and college tee shots are the perfect way to wrap up senior year.

And now that decisions are made, it’s the best time to capture where they’re headed next.

📩 Spots are limited—click the link in my bio or DM me to book a last-minute session.

And for Class of 2027 parents… it’s not too early to start thinking ahead 👀
Some yearbook deadlines come faster than you expect, and these photos make the perfect addition to senior pages.
