Celebrating Herself: A Birthday Photoshoot

Some clients just get it—and from the moment I met this radiant woman last year for her birthday photoshoot, I knew we’d be creating magic together again. There’s something so special about someone who prioritizes celebrating themselves, and that’s exactly what she does: every year, she gifts herself a photoshoot to commemorate her growth, her beauty, and her journey.

From Deep Ellum to Studio Glam

Last year, we embraced the gritty, artistic energy of Deep Ellum—think vibrant murals, moody alleyways, and that perfect golden-hour glow. But this year? She wanted something completely different. "Let’s go studio chic," she said—and I was here for it. We rented a sleek, minimalist photo studio for an hour, and oh, did we make the most of that time.

Why I Love Birthdays Like This

There’s a reason this session stuck with me. In a world that’s always telling women to shrink, hesitate, or downplay their light, she does the opposite. She invests in herself, celebrates her existence, and trusts me to capture it. That’s the kind of energy I’m always here for.

The Takeaway? Celebrate You.

Whether it’s a birthday, a milestone, or just a "heck yes, I’m alive" moment: book the photoshoot. Wear the outfit. Eat the cake. Be your own muse.

Because if there’s one thing this queen (and this photoshoot) proves? You’re always worth celebrating.
