I’m excited (and honestly a little surprised) to share that I’ve been selected as a speaker at the AI-Driven Business Summit, happening June 15th–17th. This opportunity came from showing up, learning new skills, and staying committed to growing my photography business in new ways — especially using AI to help people look and feel their best. I’m still learning what this role will fully involve, but I’m honored to be part of a group of professionals who are exploring how technology and creativity can work together. More details to come — and thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Your support and encouragement are part of the reason I’m here today.

A little behind-the-scenes update — my ad will be featured in next month’s School Magazine, and I’m so excited to share it with you. This journey has been full of learning, growth, and new opportunities, and I’m grateful to be building something meaningful. @Heather Boers I’m so excited to feature Heather — the incredible owner of the Directory on Skool — in my latest ad. Her community is full of support, encouragement, and practical tools that help business owners grow and show up professionally.

1) Keep hair natural — not overly styled - The goal is polished, not stiff - Movement photographs beautifully 2) Avoid brand-new drastic haircuts right before photos - Give it about 1–2 weeks to settle 3) Watch the flyaways - A light smoothing serum or hairspray helps - Especially important in natural light 4) Bring a brush or comb - Quick touch-ups make a big difference Your hair should look like you on your best day — not a completely different person.

1) Slightly more makeup than everyday — but still natural. Cameras soften features, so a little extra definition helps. 2) Matte makeup photographs better than shiny makeup - Shine can reflect light - Matte gives a clean, professional look 3) Define the eyes and eyebrows - Brows frame the face - Mascara and liner help the eyes stand out 4) Choose natural lip colors - Avoid very dark or very glossy lipstick - Soft pinks, nudes, and warm tones work beautifully. The camera loves definition — not heavy makeup.
