Amazing professionals with one mission: provide top-notch mental health care to Oxford, Hernando, and beyond. I had the honor of taking their headshots in the past year, and let me tell you, the ladies at In Focus Psychiatry don’t just look professional, they each RADIATE compassion, approachability, & expertise.

These headshots aren’t just photos. They are a reflection of the people behind the practice, the hearts and minds changing lives every day.

Want your team to make the same powerful first impression? That’s where professional headshot photography, not fake AI stuff, comes in!

Thank you, In Focus Psychiatry, for letting me showcase your incredible team. You inspired me, and now everyone can see why your patients trust you so much!

Promised to post some from this session, and will soon, but what a natural beauty Mary is. She has an *enormously* gorgeous ❤. I love her sweet spirit to pieces, and had so much fun photographing her!

I had the absolute joy of photographing Kale, now a high school senior, when she was just a little kid with soft curls and big blue eyes. Back when life was playful, missing teeth, and sweet giggles. Seeing her now, confident and gorgeously herself, honestly hits me right in the heart.

These two photos side by side say it all: same smile, same spark… just a few more years of growing into who she’s meant to be. Watching them grow is one of the most unexpected and meaningful parts of what I do.

Such a fun full circle. 💛📸

I’ve photographed him through the seasons of growing up: childhood laughter, quiet in-between years, and now this confident and charismatic young man.

Time has a way of passing before we realize it’s gone. I’m grateful for every moment I was trusted to keep❤️

I am all about celebrating personality, confidence, and the joy of being right where you are, as well as how far you've come. So my senior sessions are always going to be playful, creative, and uniquely you. Pink disco balls, fluffy rug, and all the sassy energy you could ever ask for, set us up for the perfect party in the studio. Oh my goodness, I just love my sweet seniors.🩷

Most photographers relish a season of mini sessions in the fall. But if you know me, you know I just can't give up that connection for a shorter session.

To be honest, I'm probably never offering a mini session, except for maybe a charity event.

To answer another question I keep getting asked, yes, I'm still doing senior sessions.

Even in late fall, I'm able to make the fading colors, textures, and soft light work with my vision. Senior portraits with fall or winter light just hits different, and that's a good thing.

I'll be photographing the Class of 2026 all year long, like I do with every graduating class, and cherishing my time with each one. ❤
