Category: Headshots

Sarah

I’m lucky to be asked to occasionally photograph members of the Houston academic community, and was fortunate to be able to photograph Sarah before she left town for her next adventure. Academia requires a certain seriousness, and it’s fun to balance those with more open/ accessible shots with smiles.

Recent headshots

These are selected shots from a few fairly recent headshot sessions I’ve done. Clients usually walk away with 20-30 images and overwhelmingly tell me the session was super easy and very low pressure. I’ve loved expanding into headshots over the past few years: they’re a good balance for the fun, wild kid sessions!

Penny

I loved this session– I’d never spoken to the client (except via email) before the shoot, and she told me she was super uncomfortable with photos. It took us just a few minutes to really warm up and get things cracking. I think “photo-averse” clients are some of my favorites, because we generally end up pretty happy with the results, and I like being able to provide a really low-pressure environment for them.

Jasmine

When I shoot portraits in my studio, I generally ask clients to bring three outfits: a business one, a casual one, and a “normal workday” one. Of course, people are always welcome to bring whatever they need- some clients even use their headshots for things like dating profiles, personal websites, or just a social media refresh. I am very lucky to be able to photograph so many of my friends in my studio! I always have fun with Jasmine, who is one of my favorite friends and an absolute natural in front of a camera.

Christof

My good friend and mentor, Christof, is in the process of publishing a book. Luckily for me, he asked for a few headshots in a couple of different locations. He primarily wanted to focus on locations with the light rail trains and tracks, as the book is about transit. I was honored to take his photos, and I am looking forward to the release of his book!

RDA Home Tour: Vivi

I was honored to be chosen to photograph featured architects for the Rice Design Alliance 2018 Home Tour. This year, the tour featured women designers and clients, all shot on location. The tour was very successful and a ton of fun! I loved being able to photograph women I deeply respect and admire from the architecture community, as well as meeting new designers with fantastic work. (Also, who can resist that adorable cat?!)

RDA Home Tour: Natalye and Trina

I was honored to be chosen to photograph featured architects for the Rice Design Alliance 2018 Home Tour. This year, the tour featured women designers and clients, all shot on location. The tour was very successful and a ton of fun! I loved being able to photograph women I deeply respect and admire from the architecture community, as well as meeting new designers with fantastic work.

Sima

I am super lucky that, aside from photographing amazing families with adorable children, I get to meet and photograph some amazing people. We took these photos at Casa Water Oak. I often meet clients in my office for well lit, easy, and inexpensive headshots. The best part is getting go talk to them about their careers while we shoot!

Andrew

I am pretty shameless when it comes to forcing my husband and kids to be my guinea pigs. Luckily for me, Andrew is a patient man and needed some updated headshots, so here we are! It’s always fun trying to figure out what qualities to bring out in headshots- every pose telegraphs certain qualities about a person. Body language is a big deal!

Devin | Houston Portrait Photographer

Devin-33

Back in January, I posted images of Devin from May of 2015. Well, it’s May of 2016, and I just got back from my annual trip to visit my lovely niece and extended family. Except in the last 12 months, she has apparently turned into a FULL FLEDGED TEENAGER PERSON. I was totally flabbergasted at how grown-up she looks. Special shoutout to the amazing Natalie at Sephora in Polaris mall, who did her makeup with just the right balance of “cute” and “oomph”.

I have so much to say about this age, which I feel is wholly under-photographed. We take tons of pictures of our babies, plenty of blurry toddler photos, and then there’s this desert from about 5th grade until senior year (or quince, for some people). We’re missing out on SO MUCH. Preteens and young teenagers have a ton of personality and individuality, and they’re relegated to an annual yearbook photo that doesn’t even show off who they are. Anyway, rant over! Enjoy!
