When was the last time you updated your professional headshot?

If you’re still using a photo from five years ago, a cropped vacation picture, or a selfie, it might be time for something new!

Your headshot is often someone’s first impression of you and your business. It should look professional, approachable, and most importantly, like YOU.

I haven’t shared much about my headshot photography lately, but it’s something I absolutely love offering!

Whether you’re a business owner, real estate agent, entrepreneur, or simply looking to refresh your professional image, I’d love to help.

Who says family photos have to be traditional?

Not every session needs everyone standing perfectly still, looking at the camera, and smiling.

Some of my favorite images come from trying something different. A little creativity, a little drama, beautiful light, and portraits that truly stand out.

I love working with families who are willing to have fun, trust my vision, and create something that feels more like art than your typical family photo.

So tell me, are you more of a traditional family photo person, or would you love to try something a little outside the box?

Who says family photos have to be traditional?

Who wants to have FUN instead of standing around saying cheese?

I love a beautiful family portrait, but I also love capturing the moments that show who your family really is. The laughter, the silliness, the personalities, and all those little interactions that make your family unique.

Let the kids be kids. Kick the soccer ball, dance with Dad, laugh together, and just enjoy being a family.

Your session doesn't have to be perfectly posed to be absolutely beautiful. Sometimes the best photos happen when you forget the camera is even there.

**So, who's ready to ditch the traditional family photos and have a little fun with me?**

Five years. Same family. Two completely different photographs.

Sometimes I forget just how far I’ve come as a photographer until I look back at my older work.

I photographed this beautiful family five years ago, and recently had the opportunity to photograph them again. Looking at these two images side by side really made me stop and appreciate my own growth.

Five years ago, I was focused on capturing a beautiful family portrait. Today, I’m thinking about lighting, composition, storytelling, creativity, and creating something truly unique.

For this year’s session, I had a vision of photographing them relaxing poolside. Funny enough, Mom had been thinking the exact same thing! We brought that vision to life, and I couldn’t love the result more.

I’ve spent countless hours learning, practicing, experimenting with lighting, and pushing myself creatively. And I’m still learning every single day.

I’m proud of where I started, but I’m even prouder of how far I’ve come.

Same photographer. Same beautiful family. Five years of growth.

And honestly, I can’t wait to see where the next five years take me.

Six years. Six beautiful sessions. And so many memories captured along the way.

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to watch families grow and change over the years.

Some families just hold a special place in my heart, and this is definitely one of them.

Every year we create something beautiful together, but this year we wanted to do something a little different. Having Grandma and Grandpa join us made it even more special.

These are the moments I love capturing. Not just beautiful portraits, but memories that will mean even more years from now.

I truly could photograph this family every single year and never get tired of it. ❤️

Six sessions. Six years of memories. And one family that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Angelica and her amazing family are truly one of my all time favorite families to photograph. I could photograph them every single day and never get tired of it! Every year we create something a little different, and somehow, every session becomes another favorite of mine.

This year, we wanted to do something completely different.

Instead of heading out to another beautiful location, we decided to bring the session home. Their home. A place where so many of their everyday memories are made, where the kids can be themselves, and where we could create something that felt a little more personal.

And I am SO glad we did!

We started with the family lounging by the pool, captured some individual portraits of the kids, and made sure Mom and Dad had their own moment in front of the camera. We laughed, got creative, and even had the whole family jumping by the pool! That image alone makes me smile every time I look at it.

But one of the most special parts of this year's session was having Grandma and Grandpa join us, too.

There is something incredibly meaningful about bringing generations together for photographs. These are the images that become more valuable with every passing year. Having the grandparents surrounded by their children and grandchildren, all together in one photograph, is something that simply can't be replaced.

We ended the evening gathered around the fire, and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect way to finish this session.

What makes this family so special to me isn't just how beautiful their photographs turn out. It's the relationship we've built over the years. I've watched these kids grow, seen their personalities develop, and had the privilege of documenting another chapter of their lives year after year.

Six sessions together, and I still get excited every time we start planning the next one.

Angelica, thank you for continuing to trust me with your family's memories, for always being open to my ideas, and for allowing me to be creative. Your family is genuinely such a joy to photograph, and I appreciate you more than you know.

I already can't wait to see what we dream up for session number seven!

This session is such a beautiful reminder that family portraits don't always have to happen in a field, at a park, or somewhere with a spectacular view. Sometimes the most meaningful location is the place you call home, surrounded by the people you love most.
