Corporate Retirement Dinner

As human beings traveling through this crazy life, it is good to stop occasionally and celebrate the milestones in our lives. We celebrate babies, graduations, birthdays and anniversaries. Many companies now also celebrate a career of hard work and dedication. As an employee of this company, you have spent time and energy and much of life’s work toward a career. You should celebrate retirement! Everyone can enjoy another’s successes and laugh through the memories and stories of years past. It is a good opportunity to stop and celebrate.

Retirement Dinner at Truluck’s in The Woodlands

Recently, I was invited to photograph the retirement dinner for a member of the board of directors for Sterling Construction. We gathered at Truluck’s in The Woodlands. Everyone mingled while drinks and appetizers were passed. After dinner, everyone had the opportunity to say a few words. Each had their own memories and stories to share. They were thankful for his service and dedication to the company. At the end, the guest of honor had the floor. He shared stories of the company from the very beginning. This construction company started as several businesses including a pet food company. The board shared lots of laughs and enjoyed the evening. I’m so glad that I was able to capture it for the memories.

Here are my top tips for creating photos you’ll love for years to come 👇🏻

🎨 Choose a soft, coordinating color palette — think blues, burgundy, and warm earth tones that look gorgeous in outdoor settings.

👕 Stick to classic, solid pieces without big logos or bold patterns for a timeless look.

😊 And most importantly — keep everyone comfortable (especially the kids!) so we can have fun and capture genuine smiles.

Fall sessions fill up fast — let’s plan your perfect family session now so you can relax and enjoy it when the leaves start to turn. 🍁

Want a flawless team photo every time? Here’s the secret ⬇️

Group Composites.

Unlike a traditional group photo — where someone inevitably blinks, looks away, or just isn’t loving their angle — a composite lets me select the best shot of each person individually.

Here’s how it works:

✔️ I photograph each person separately

✔️ Pick their most flattering image

✔️ Edit each headshot to perfection

✔️ Combine them into one cohesive, polished group portrait

The result? A picture-perfect team photo where everyone looks amazing — no retakes, no stress.

Say goodbye to outdated team photos. 👋🏻

If your company is growing, shifting, or hiring often, this is the game-changing solution you’ve been waiting for:

📸 Group Composite Team Photos

Here’s how it works:

Instead of squeezing everyone into a single room at the same time (and hoping everyone looks their best), we photograph each team member individually — then merge them into one cohesive, professional team photo in post-production.

✨ New employee? We’ll add them in.
✨ Someone left? We’ll update the photo.
✨ Remote team? No problem.

No more rescheduling full photoshoots. No more outdated staff pages. Just a clean, current, always-on-brand team image.

Perfect for:
✔️ Corporate offices
✔️ Real estate teams
✔️ Medical practices
✔️ Law firms
✔️ Small businesses
✔️ Remote or hybrid teams

📍 Serving Houston + surrounding areas
📅 Contact me to start your team composite today.

Let’s talk about AI headshots. 🤖 ⬇️

Here’s the thing: while AI can mimic your likeness, it can’t replace the real you. People who know you can still tell the difference between an authentic photograph and a computer-generated image stitched together from selfies.

When it comes to building trust with your clients, patients, or audience, authenticity matters. Real portraits create real connection.

That said, I do love using AI-powered tools — not to fake who you are, but to enhance your photos. Tools that smooth, sharpen, and polish while keeping your portraits truthful, authentic, and you.

Because your clients deserve to meet the real person behind the brand.
