Lifestyle Head Shots in Downtown Allen, TX


Every once in a while, I get the chance to photograph someone standing right on the edge of a new beginning—and this session was exactly that.

This beautiful woman is in the middle of a bold life transition. With her kids now in college and a brand new job waiting on the East Coast, she’s packing up and heading out for a fresh start. She's moving closer to family, leaning into change with grace and confidence, and embracing all the unknowns with an open heart.

She reached out for updated headshots—both for her LinkedIn profile and a dating profile—and I was so honored to capture her in this moment of transformation. We wanted to keep things relaxed and natural, with a hint of joy and personality shining through. I think her warmth, strength, and spark come through beautifully, don’t you?

At one point during our shoot, I told her the photos reminded me of the kind you'd see on the back cover of a novel—like the author's portrait. That made her laugh out loud, and it was in that moment that her smile lit up completely. It’s those little in-between moments that make a session feel so real.

Whether it’s a career shift, a big move, or simply wanting to feel seen as the person you are right now, photography has a way of honoring our in-between seasons. This shoot was a reminder that it’s never too late to begin again—and to do it with style, self-assurance, and a genuine smile.

Wishing her all the best as she writes this exciting new chapter!
