Lauren Flathouse Branding Session | Katy Personal Branding Photographer
I’m going to rewind here to give this a bit of context.
Back to fall 2018 in the H.E.B. parking lot when I was walking out of the store and a massive package of toilet paper fell out of my cart. We had just moved into our new home and I was doing a run of necessities as movers were unpacking our furniture. I ran to the store smelling and in mismatched clothes I never intended to be seen in. All while telling myself no one I know will see me. How could they? We just moved here and hadn’t even met our neighbors.
That’s when I hear “Tricia. Tricia.” I know I am just hearing things in my head though. I don’t know anyone yet, so no one can be calling my name.
When I do look around trying to figure out who is yelling, I see Lauren. Who I haven’t seen in fifteen years. Maybe longer.
Small world.
I grew up with Lauren. We went to the same elementary school, were on the same swim team, hung out together. It was like a blast from the past, while I was looking my absolute worst. lol
I have stayed in “touch” with Lauren through social media. I knew she had just finished law school and was starting her own firm.
Gosh. I could have stayed and chatted with her for hours, but reality was we were both in a hurry.
Fast forward, and not only have I had the privilege of photographing her family, but a second time for her personal branding photography session. She constantly amazes me with her positive outlook and spirit is contagious. She’s a loving wife and mom to three beautiful children.
I think we laughed more during our time together than any other session I’ve done. We did a session in a stunning home that offered a ton of amazing spots so we could kick the entire session out in one spot and maximize time. She brought a variety of outfits that translated so well with her brand image.
I can never post all the images, but here are a handful.
For Lauren, we needed some basic headshots, some fun personality pics and a few lifestyle images for her to use. We started with the more formal classic headshots and gradually got more casual with the outfits and posing. Grabbed a couple propes as well towards the end.
My goal was for these to feel natural and let Lauren’s personality come through. I gave Lauren prompts, but also encouraged her to chat, laugh and enjoy the time.
The best part of personal branding for me is helping Katy area entrepreneurs tell their story through images. Clients get photos that they can use for their website, marketing and social media. If you provide me with specs for your website, I will also size images so you can just upload to your website and they will be the proper size so you don’t bog down your website with large file size images unnecessarily.

When Covid hit the Houston area, I knew it would impact my business. Like many, it dramatically did. Everything came to a screeching halt. Originally, I welcomed the time, virtual learning was filling my days and family time was filling my evenings.
The one thing I didn’t see coming, is that many people would take this time to finally tackle the marketing and design components they have been putting off. The past few weeks I’ve had several corporate groups and headshot sessions.
