These headshots for the Lincoln chapter of Unico Insurance Group are turning out so well after two staff sessions already! We wanted these portraits to show the natural space in the atrium lobby of their offices, so naturally some of them show a neutral wintry look and some are greened up in the background. I love that nuance!

These real headshots and portraits communicate some very important qualities that AI generated headshots cannot bring to your marketing: trust, authenticity, investment, humanity, and connection. In fact, an AI created headshot can actually undermine all of these things in a potential business relationship. I personally know what I would rather see in the businesses I work with and the connections I work towards.

My clients understand the difference and they know the value of real portraits, and I think that trust matters to their clients too.

I wrote up a fresh blog post about Marcela’s coffee importing business and our business mentorship through ECHO Collective! Marcela Willeke

Marcela - Business & Photography Mentorship in Lincoln, NE - COFFEE IS OUR RELIGION

05/17/2026

It’s been an honor - and a lot of FUN! - to be a business mentor for Marcela through Echo Collective’s business development program for New American women, The Refinery. Marcela is the owner of multiple businesses, but we focused on just one during our time together. Coffee Is Our Religion imports specialty roasted coffee and cacao from Columbia, her home country. I had the opportunity to sample plenty of this delicious coffee, and it is the perfect blend of bitter, smooth, and mellow.

Marcela and I met up over six weeks to talk about her website, social media, and photography! I gave her a couple of crash courses on how to take great product photos on her own phone, showing her how to use natural light, windows, reflectors, and simple editing strategies to capture her own products going forward. Then we finished up with a product + mini branding session to refresh her website and social content.

I was also really excited to connect her with a new avenue for selling and marketing her imported coffee (and I hope to share that fun news soon!).

Make sure you are following her! You can purchase Marcela’s delicious coffee beans and cacao - and her luxurious leather goods, mugs, grinders and other coffee accessories too! - at The Refinery shop in the building, along with many more artisan products and treats created by other women in the program. If you haven’t stopped by .and.co .collective.ne shop, you’re in for a treat :)

Hi! I've tried to update my profile photo multiple times, and each time it says Meta needs to verify it...but it also won't let me use ANY photos for my profile because every one is "under review." 🙄 It looks scammy and weird right now, but it's still little ol' me here!

The first glimpses of this dreamy Super 8 film footage felt like love!

I had just gotten this camera, and brought it with me on my trip to Hawaii with Silas. Without being totally sure whether it was working or a pricey experiment going to waste…I filmed little clips throughout the trip. The film is silent - no sound recording film is currently available. It was SO windy - and the footage definitely shows that. 😆 I’m still amazed it worked at all.

Sometime I’ll share the whole process if y’all are interested. For now, I just love looking at it! Shot with my 1969 Emdeko film camera. I ordered more film because I also now have four vintage super 8 cameras. 😀 More to come with this experimental project.

This is Rachel’s elegant take on the modern corporate headshot - both an effortless energy, and a strong presence! This is what confidence feels like when it isn’t trying too hard…refined, relaxed, and capable.

Creating headshots like this will never get old! This was a 20 minute studio session, the quickest session I offer. If your current photo doesn’t quite feel like you anymore, or doesn’t put out energy that matches who you are, I’d love to help you change that!

A really gorgeous morning at State College to shoot marketing photos for their beautiful campus and unique academic programs. It was the perfect moment to make sure their Board and some of the faculty had fresh portraits and group pictures! Lots of fresh content here on my blog!

You know what I haven’t done in a while? Springtime mini shoots is what!

I’m really excited about getting out into the beautiful spring blossoms this year, so I’ve opened up a few dates in my Mini Shoot calendar! And I’ve timed these to work just perfectly so you can have your photos back by Mother’s Day.

Some of the photos here are almost ten years old (back from when I was doing a lot of senior sessions). It’s making me even more excited to do these spring mini sessions! I can’t guarantee any flowers will be in bloom on these days, but I’ll be rotating between several specific locations to hopefully maximize our chances.
