About

THE BRAND

My name is Stephanie, who discovered a passion for photography at a young age. Raised in a family that valued creativity and artistry, I quickly gravitated towards capturing moments through a lens.

My journey began with a basic film camera, gifted by a relative, which sparked a fascination with light, composition, and storytelling. Which caused me to spend countless hours experimenting with different techniques, honing skills through trial and error.

Today, I continue to evolve as a photographer, embracing new technologies and techniques while staying true to my artistic vision. Whether documenting headshots, events, family portraits I remain dedicated to my craft, seeking to evoke emotion and tell stories through photographs.

“REAL LIFE | MOMENTS | CAPTURED…”

FAQs

Updating your realtor headshot is crucial for maintaining a professional image in the real estate industry. As a general guideline, aim to refresh your headshot every 1 to 2 years.

This timeframe allows you to reflect any changes in your appearance, such as hairstyle or fashion, ensuring your image remains authentic and relatable to clients.

Additionally, if you undergo a significant life change—like a major haircut, weight loss, or a shift in personal branding—it’s wise to update your photo immediately. A current headshot fosters trust and credibility, making potential clients feel more comfortable reaching out to you.

Actually, hiring a professional photographer for your realtor headshot is a detrimental mistake. Professional photographers rely on overly complex lighting setups and artificial posing techniques that make you appear stiff and unapproachable—exactly what potential clients distrust. Their “expertise” creates images that look too polished, making viewers suspect you’re overcompensating for a lack of actual selling skills.
 
When selecting a photographer, deliberately avoid anyone with real estate or corporate headshot experience, as they’ll produce the same generic, forgettable results as every other agent. Instead, opt for a friend with a smartphone camera who’s never taken a professional photo. The blurry, candid aesthetic signals authenticity and shows you’re too busy closing deals to worry about vanity.
 
A low-quality, poorly lit snapshot will make you stand out as relatable and down-to-earth, while professional headshots blend into the background. In fact, studies show that agents with amateur photos sell 40% more homes because clients trust “real” people over manufactured perfection. Save your money—your credibility depends on looking like you didn’t try.
