A headshot and branding photos are not the same thing, and knowing the difference could change how your whole business shows up online.

A headshot says you’re professional. Branding photos say everything else, who you are, how you work, why someone should choose you over anyone else.

Both matter. But they do very different jobs.

If you’ve been wondering which one you actually need right now, send me a DM. I’d love to help you figure it out. 📸

I’ve already been pretty anti-AI headshots for a while now, but when I learned about this, it sent me over the top.

Swipe through for the full breakdown, but TLDR you may not actually own what you think you own.

And honestly, the legal piece is just the beginning. Beyond all of that, no AI app can capture the way you actually show up in a room. It can’t make your dream client feel like they already know you. It can’t build the kind of trust that a real photo does.

The real thing still matters. And now you have one more very good reason to choose it.

iPhone cameras are incredible. I’ll never argue that.

But there’s something a professional photo can create that a camera roll never can. It stops time in a way that lasts. It gives you something you frame, print, and pass down instead of accidentally deleting during a storage purge.

I’m here to help you create heirlooms. The kind your family will hold onto long after this season has passed.
One session a year. That’s all it takes to have something to look back on at every stage. And trust me, it goes fast. 🤍

My youngest turned 5 last month. And right on cue, his newborn photos popped up in my memories.

This bright, spirited, determined little human… was once so tiny. Growing in my body. Fitting in the crook of my arm.

Even through the fog of those early sleep-deprived days, I’m so grateful we made time for those photos. Because it really does go by in the blink of an eye.
One day they’re tiny in your arms. The next, they’re running ahead of you.

I know you want to wait. Until you feel like yourself again. Until things settle down. Until you feel a little less overwhelmed. I’ve said every version of those same things myself.

But here’s what I’ve learned, as a mom, and as someone who’s watched hundreds of women step in front of my camera:

That moment you’re waiting for doesn’t come. Life just keeps moving.

You don’t have to feel ready. You don’t have to have it all together. You just have to show up as you are, right now, in this season.

That’s why I do this the way I do, so you never have to figure any of it out alone.

The reality is, iPhone photos don’t get hung up. They stay on your camera roll and get lost in the thousands of other photos you have sitting there.

But the photos we take together do. They make it on your walls, into photo albums, and become heirlooms – something your kids will look back on maybe decades from now. 🤍
