Branding Sessions are so much more than taking ran Branding Sessions are so much more than taking random photos of yourself.  You want your photos to represent you, connect with your potential clients, and set you apart from the crowd. 
This realtor brought his dog along to the session so he could have images that tell a bit of who he is. He also loves golf and he has some pretty fancy hats.  These are all things he can use in conversation pieces in his marketing.
We talked about who he is, his personality, and who he wants to work with.  Now he has a gallery of images to use in his marketing. 
Want to learn more about our brand sessions? We take time to learn about you, how you are marketing, and what images you need to set yourself apart from your competitors. 
Comment below if you want to learn more about our branding and headshot experience.
Imaging USA 2023 @imagingusa My feet hurt (after Imaging USA 2023 @imagingusa 
My feet hurt (after walking around 15,000 steps/day), my body is tired, my belly hurts from laughing so much, BUT my heart is full and my mind is crammed with knowledge from all we learned.
A few highlights from Nashville:
• The Location: The Gaylord conference center is insanely huge (I mean there’s a water park and a boat tour down a river… and yes, I got lost multiple times🤣). Also going to Broadway in Nashville and hearing all of the musicians was incredible.
• The People: I love spending this week with old and new friends. Seeing my business besties Jennifer Jones Bishop and Julie Collins (missing Kristina Powers Rose and Wendy Vincent) and seeing so many friends from around the country plus meeting new ones. AND getting to meet Claire Lauer in person. 
• The Education: From the classes to the speakers, to having amazing conversations with mentors and friends that I am so grateful for. Deanna Kuehn Duncan and Cris J Duncan
• The Tradeshow: I’m excited to offer some new products and roll out something BIG really soon. 
• To Being Inspired: From the print competition and photographic awards to attending the gala with 200 photographers that offer an amazing experience for their clients and hit incredible goals this past year. Thank you Megan DiPiero for that incredible celebration and Gary Hughes for the incredible portraits. And Kaylee for my beautiful hair and makeup. 
Thank you Professional Photographers of America and Professional Photographers of America’s ImagingUSA for all you do to put on this conference and for all the education you provide to the photography industry. 
And thank you to my husband Joe Venema for holding down the fort at home so I could attend.

A new year brings new beginnings… Can I encoura A new year brings new beginnings…
Can I encourage you to take one step towards your dream? Whatever thing that’s been holding you back, take one step past that fear to see the amazing possibilities that are in front of you.
Here are some things I’ve learned by taking just one step:
• If you take just one step, even if you have fear trying to hold you back, amazing possibilities could be on the other side. Then it might lead towards more steps in the direction you’ve been dreaming about.
• Don’t let fear hold you back.
• Often we are afraid of failure, but we can even learn from failure. Don’t let fear of failure hold you back from what’s possible.
• Don’t compare yourself to others. God made you uniquely you for a reason!
• Someone told me that if God places something on your heart and mind, and gives you a gift, you need to use it or He’ll give that gift to someone else to use. So don’t wait. Use your gift for His purpose and glory.
• You were made for a purpose and you impact those around you. You get to chose how you impact those around you. Choose to be kind, care about those you come across each day. You can create ripples like when a pebble is tossed into the water and creates ripples.
You are valued. You have an impact. You are loved.
Go, do the things that make you happy. 💗

2022… A year full of incredible moments. From 2022… A year full of incredible moments. 
From attending Imaging USA,
to becoming a CPP (Certified Professional Photographer),
to attending Texas School, 
working with my amazing business/life coach,
to creating beautiful portrait artwork for so many amazing families,
to creating images for local businesses,
to serving my community,
and creating fun memories with my family. 
Even though life is full of ups and downs I love looking back and seeing the blessings… how I’ve grown, overcome, and where God has lead me to today.
Thank you to each and every one of you. Whether you’ve cheered me on, supported me along the way, chose me as your photographer, or served our community along side me… I’m so grateful for each and every one of you. 
Thank you! I am looking forward to what the new year brings!
