  • First impressions are everything, and high-quality photography can set your business apart from the others.  You can use images to tell your story, showcase your products and services, and give your prospective customers a reason to do business with you.  Professional headshots and brand photography are for all businesses, especially where you're the face of your brand.

  • Most sessions are scheduled during weekdays, although some evening & weekend times may be available.

    Sessions are available in my Houston studio (conveniently located between downtown and The Heights) or on location at your home, office, or outdoor location. For branding sessions, we'll discuss the best location to highlight your business and personality.

  • Dress for the job you want! Choose outfits that align with your brand and make you feel confident and comfortable. Classic, tailored pieces in solid colors tend to photograph best. Variety is key, so bring several options in a variety of colors & styles.
