Business Head Shot Photographer - Dallas, Flower Mound, Highland Village


The following is taken directly from a blog about how to build a good website to improve conversion rates.  You can view it all here.

"You should almost ALWAYS include a picture of yourself and your team.
Here’s the deal:
People like to connect with people… not faceless corporations and businesses.
Most recently I’ve ran some eye-tracking tests on Social Triggers.com and I’ve found that people spend an inordinate amount of time on my footer.
Why?
Yes, they’re looking for what they can do next, but I also have a picture of myself, and a biography down there too.
And there’s one more benefit for using a real photo on your site:
People want to do business with people they know, like and trust... If you don’t show your photo, people often think the reason why is a bad one, and they assume you’re untrustworthy.
Look at it like this:
Would you ever buy something from someone wearing a mask?
I wouldn’t.
So use your real photo to build your credibility, thus increasing your conversion rates."
OK, so any photo will do... right?  WRONG.  I don't think I even need to explain why.  We all want to put our best foot forward.  I will help you do so with head shots for your website, office and any communication or social media!
Here are a few of the head shots that I did for Patent Capital Group in the North Texas area.  They are young, fresh, approachable, and they needed their pictures to communicate that.

They each had about a dozen or so images to choose from an online gallery.

 Since they are spread out and oftentimes aren't able to meet face to face with clients, the photos enhance the website and overall communication and experience.

Acting Head Shots for Flower Mound and Highland Village


"Drake needs head shots for a few different productions and we really want to include Dumbledore."

Me: (pause) "Pardon?"

"Our dog, Dumbledore!"

How can you resist a gig like that?  Drake is just as flexible and coachable as you can imagine.  His mom, Amy, laughs and helps with the process, and Dumbledore smiles all the time.  Mix that in with a beautiful Fall day and I will be first in line for that appointment!




If you need head shots and/or pictures with your favorite pet, ring me up!  I will be all over it. :)

Senior pictures Elementary Education Major

This is my daughter.  There was a time when she was tired of the minutia and the ridiculous requirements and red tape of classes, that she told me she didn't want to be a teacher.  She was almost done with her course work and I told her to just finish.  "Get your degree," I said.  Lots of people feel that way when they get to their senior year.  

Then something happened... She student taught.  She LOVES children.  She cares about them, studies them, thinks difficult children are a challenge instead of just a bother.  We didn't have time to send out graduation announcements with our ridiculous schedules, but we do have our priorities right, and scheduled a photo session celebrating the joy of children loving you and the privilege of having an influence on their lives, and the milestone of college graduation.

This one shows about 10% of the pictures given to her by children in the third grade and kindergarten at Pinkerton Elementary in Coppell, Texas

 We are vintage-loving girls, so we took a vintage spin on the teaching theme!



 That pink rose blouse she is wearing belonged to my mom.  It is probably from the 1950s.

















Don't let the smiles fool you.  This was taken in December in the rain and cold wind!  :D





 A nod to Harry Potter!
