Why Choose a Professional Headshot Over AI?

In a world where technology is moving fast, it can be tempting to look at artificial intelligence (AI) headshots as a quick fix. With a few clicks, you can upload a selfie and receive a batch of computer-generated portraits. But here’s the truth: no algorithm can capture the real you the way a professional photographer can. That’s why investing in headshots taken right here in Wichita Falls – or anywhere across the country – by a real expert makes all the difference.

Your headshot is more than just a picture — it’s your first impression, your personal brand, and often the deciding factor in how people connect with you. Whether it’s for LinkedIn, your website, or your company bio, your image should inspire trust, professionalism, and authenticity.

If you’re considering updating your photos, check out my headshot services. I specialize in creating professional images that highlight your personality, build trust, and help you stand out here in Wichita Falls or wherever your career takes you.

1. Authenticity You Can Feel

AI may be able to mimic a face, but it can’t capture your energy, personality, or the subtle expressions that make you unique.

My Approach

My sessions are designed to bring out the real you — approachable, confident, and genuine. That’s something no software can replicate.

 

2. A Personalized Experience with Wichita Falls & Destination Headshots

AI headshots often have odd details if you look closely: hands that don’t look quite right, blurry edges, or lighting that feels unnatural.

Why Professional Photography Wins

With me, you get expertly crafted lighting, posing, and retouching that flatter you while keeping you real. Every image is polished, crisp, and designed to help you stand out in your career.

3. A Personalized Experience with Wichita Falls & Destination Headshots

AI doesn’t ask about your brand, your goals, or how you want to be perceived. I do.

Tailored to Your Story

During your session, I guide you with wardrobe tips, posing, and expression coaching so that the images align with your professional story. Together, we’ll create headshots that truly represent you – whether that’s here in Wichita Falls or on location across the country.

4.   Headshots That Grow With You

Your headshots should evolve as you do. Unlike AI images that feel disposable, professional portraits are crafted to last — to be printed, shared, and proudly displayed.

An Investment in Your Brand

You’re not just buying a file; you’re investing in timeless images that elevate your personal and professional brand.

5. Wichita Falls Headshots: Build Trust & Connection

People do business with people they trust.

Build Credibility Instantly

When your image is authentic, you build an immediate connection. A real headshot tells your story in a way AI simply can’t.

Let’s Create Something Real

Your headshot deserves more than shortcuts. With me behind the camera, you’ll get more than just a photo — you’ll get a tailored experience that captures who you are and positions you for success.

Full-Service Photography & Branding for Author Elizabeth Howard

At Lorraine Howard Photography, I believe in telling the whole story — not just through portraits, but through complete branding solutions. When Elizabeth Howard, a Christian author from Pottsboro, Texas, came to me, she needed more than just new headshots. She needed a professional image and a cohesive brand that would connect readers to her books.

From Headshots to Branding

We started with her professional headshots in my Wichita Falls studio. Elizabeth is the author of four Christian books, including the beloved Tickle Tickle children’s series and two adult titles. Her headshots became the foundation for everything else we created.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Custom Business Cards with QR Code

Next, I designed and ordered her business cards. These weren’t just any cards — they included a custom QR code. This allows readers to instantly connect with her new author website and order books with just one scan.

 

Go ahead and scan the QR code in the image below to see how it works for yourself!

It’s a simple, modern way to bridge the gap between print marketing and online sales.

A New Website with Square Integration

To make it easy for Elizabeth to sell her books directly, I also set up a Square account for her. Her new website, ElizabethHowardBooks.carrd.co, links each of her titles to Square checkout for signed copies, while also giving readers the option to buy on Amazon.

This seamless setup means she can reach more readers, keep more profit from sales, and present herself as the professional author she is.

Why Full-Service Photography & Branding Matters

This project is a great example of what full-service photography and branding looks like:

• Professional headshots

• Custom-designed business cards with QR code

• New website with book links

• Square checkout integration for direct sales

It’s not just about taking pictures — it’s about building a brand that tells your story and helps you grow your business.

Ready to Elevate Your Brand?

If you’re a professional, creative, or entrepreneur who needs more than just photos, I’d love to help you build a cohesive brand that truly stands out.

Each August, Wichita Falls becomes the heartbeat of the cycling world with the Hotter’N Hell Hundred. In 2025, I had the joy of experiencing—and capturing—this incredible tradition for the first time. Through my Hotter’N Hell Hundred 2025 race photography, I was able to tell the story of the riders, the patriotic start, and the community spirit that makes this event so unforgettable.

Wichita Falls Welcomes Riders to Hotter’N Hell 2025

Before dawn, downtown glowed with bike lights and coffee steam. The Wichita Falls and Air Force Fire Departments raised the giant American flag over Scott Avenue, and you could feel the buzz building block by block. Families pressed up to the barricades, riders checked their gear one last time, and the city felt like one big team.

The Start Line Atmosphere

Under the flag, there were nerves, prayers, deep breaths, and a whole lot of smiles. You could hear the hum of chains, the click of cleats, and the crowd counting down the moments to go-time.

As I moved through the start corral, I loved watching first-timers and veterans swap stories.  Some were chasing the full hundred miles; others picked 25,50, or 75. Same spirit – different distances – one community.

News Coverage at the Start

As riders lined up under the flag, KFDX News Channel 3 was there with cameras rolling and microphones in hand. Their live coverage shared the excitement with viewers across Texoma who couldn’t make it downtown. I loved capturing their team in action—it was another reminder that Hotter’N Hell isn’t just a race, it’s a citywide tradition that everyone takes pride in, whether you’re on a bike or behind a camera.

 

 

Honoring the Flag and the Flyover

As the national anthem played, riders paused to honor the American flag waving high above Scott Avenue. Some placed their hands over their hearts, while others saluted—a powerful moment of unity before the ride began.

Then came the goosebumps moment—the anthem’s final notes fading, a heartbeat of quiet, and the fighter jets thundering overhead. The entire street looked up in awe. (For safety and compliance, I did not fly a drone during the flyover; the image below is a ground capture.)

 

 

Riders Rolling Out

With the anthem sung, the salute given, and jets soaring overhead, it was finally time. The cannon fired, wheels clipped in, and a sea of riders poured onto the course. Excitement, grit, and determination filled the streets of Wichita Falls.

The River of Cyclists (Aerial)

From the aerial drone view to ground-level shots of riders cheering, my Hotter’N Hell Hundred 2025 Race Photography shows both the scale and the emotion of the day. From above, the ride became a living river of motion. My drone captured the endless ribbon of cyclists winding through downtown—thousands of riders stretching as far as the eye could see. The pre-dawn light gave the whole scene a dramatic energy, marking the true beginning of Hotter’N Hell 2025.

 

Energy and Excitement as Riders Begin

The first waves of riders smiled, waved, and pumped their fists as they passed beneath the flag. Months of training had led to this moment, and their faces showed a mix of nerves and pure joy.

This rider in particular lifted his hand high into the air, cheering as he rolled out. It was the perfect picture of triumph before the miles had even begun—a reminder that Hotter’N Hell is about more than endurance, it’s about celebrating the ride itself. His enthusiasm rippled through the pack and set the tone for the day.

Adaptive Riders and Tandems

One of the most inspiring parts of the day was watching adaptive riders, tandems, and handcycles launch alongside the crowd. Hotter’N Hell truly is for everyone, and these athletes embody the spirit of perseverance.

Why I Love Hotter’N Hell 2025 Race Photography

This was my very first time experiencing this incredible race! We had just moved to Wichita Falls last year, and I honestly didn’t know what Hotter’N Hell was all about. Now, after being part of the excitement, I can tell you—I won’t miss it again!

The energy, the camaraderie, and the sheer determination of the riders made it such a joy to capture. Every face I photographed carried a story—whether it was grit, relief, joy, or pure excitement. Sharing my Hotter’N Hell Hundred 2025 Race Photography lets me celebrate both the riders and the community spirit of Wichita Falls. And for me, that’s what makes Hotter’N Hell so special: it isn’t just a cycling event, it’s a celebration of people and pride that fills our streets.

A Rider’s Story from Hotter’N Hell 2025

This close-up of riders says it all—eyes forward, pure determination written across their faces. It’s moments like this that remind me why I loved documenting Hotter’N Hell: every mile carries a story, and every rider shows us what perseverance looks like.

Every face tells a story. That’s why I love being behind the lens.

Faces of Joy Along the Way

This image says it all—the smiles, the joy, and the community spirit that make Hotter’N Hell so memorable. It’s riders like these who remind me why I love capturing this event.

Drone Views & Hotter’N Hell Hundred 2025 Race Photography Video

To truly appreciate the scale, you have to see it from above. My drone captured the golden light of sunrise, the flag, and the endless stream of riders stretching across Wichita Falls.

Drone at Dawn over Scott Avenue

This image is one of my favorites in the drone series—the warm glow of sunrise, Scott Avenue filled edge to edge, and the city skyline standing tall in the background.

Watch the Ride from Above (Video)

I’m also creating a highlight video with drone clips and ground footage to capture the full start-line energy. I’ll be sharing it on my YouTube Channel, so be sure to follow me there for the full experience and future behind-the-scenes content. This is a brand-new channel I’ll be growing, and I’d love for you to be part of it from the very beginning!

Closing Thoughts on Hotter’N Hell Hundred 2025 Race Photography

The Hotter’N Hell Hundred 2025 wasn’t just a cycling event—it was a portrait of perseverance, teamwork, and hometown pride. Congratulations to every rider who braved the heat, and heartfelt thanks to the volunteers, first responders, and sponsors who made the day possible.

Wichita Falls, you showed up big. I’m honored to tell your story—one frame at a time! Looking back, I’m grateful my Hotter’N Hell Hundred 2025 Race Photography captured not only cyclists on the road but also the pride of a city that comes alive each August.

Bonus for Staying Until the End 🎉

If you’ve made it this far—thank you for following along with my story of Hotter’N Hell 2025! As a little bonus, here are some extra moments I captured that didn’t make it into the main flow of the blog, but are just too good not to share.

👉 Think of this as a behind-the-scenes peek into my camera roll—those in-between moments that also make this race so unforgettable.

 

Oh my heart… this Wichita Mountains family photo session was just everything!

I had the absolute BEST time with the DeLeon family! We started down by the lake at Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, and even though baby girl was still so tiny, she was a total champ. Mama looked stunning, and big brother was full of heart—always reaching for a hand or giving us the biggest smiles.

But the real magic? That happened when we made our way up the mountain.

📍 Why I Love Photographing Wichita Mountains Family Photos

We timed it just right. The sun was dipping low, the sky was glowing, and the breeze gave mama’s dress that perfect little movement. The view went on for miles, and they just stood there together—so connected, so peaceful. It was beautiful.

These are the moments I love capturing. Not just pretty pictures, but real stories. I photograph families all across North Texas and Oklahoma, but Wichita Mountains family photos have a magic all their own. The views, the skies—it’s just breathtaking.

I love that no two sessions are the same. Whether we’re out on a trail, in a studio, or by a peaceful lake, it’s always about capturing who you are right now. If you’re dreaming of portraits that feel like you, let’s make it happen. We can head to the Wichita Mountains, stay close to home, or go somewhere totally unique to your family.

Whether you’re located in Wichita Falls, Lakeside City, or nearby, I invite you to join me for a Christmas experience you and your family will never forget.

As a proud parent, there are few things more heartwarming than watching your child embark on a journey of service to their country. My oldest child chose a path of honor, bravery, and selflessness by joining the United States Air Force six years ago. In an attempt to encapsulate the extraordinary journey and preserve these precious moments, we took advantage of the last few days before we head to the next base later this month. This blog is a tribute to my child’s dedication and a celebration of service in the Air Force.

Photography has the incredible ability to capture fleeting moments and preserve them for a lifetime. It freezes time, allowing us to revisit cherished memories and emotions. Through the lens of my camera, I strive to capture the essence of my child’s experience in the Air Force – the pride, the strength, the camaraderie, and the commitment to something greater than oneself.

A Personal Connection:

As a parent, photographing my child in uniform brings forth a whirlwind of emotions. It serves as a reminder of  courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to protect our great nation. Every click of the camera shutter becomes a gesture of gratitude, an expression of love, and a visual testament to service.

Honoring All Service Members:

While this blog focuses on my oldest child, I would like to recognize the service of all military members. Through my photography, I hope to thank you for all of the sacrifices made by every man and woman serving in the Armed Forces. Their dedication deserves our utmost respect and appreciation.

Photographing my oldest child in the Air Force has allowed me to capture just a moment in this remarkable journey. It is a way for me to show my gratitude, express my pride, and honor the commitment to our great country. Through the lens of my camera, I strive to capture not just their physical appearance but also the intangible qualities that make them a true hero. To all service members, thank you for your selflessness, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication. Your service inspires us all and reminds us of the indomitable spirit that lies within the hearts of those who serve.

 

You are my hero!  I love you with all that I am.  I am a VERY proud mama!

As a senior in high school, one of the most important milestones you will experience is your senior portrait. This is a chance for you to capture your unique personality and style, and to look back on this special time in your life with fond memories. Here in East Texas, you have a wide range of options for your portrait session. Here are some tips to help you create a stunning and memorable portrait that showcases who you are.

Location

First, think about the location. East Texas is full of beautiful natural settings that can provide a stunning backdrop for your photos. Whether you prefer the beaches of our beautiful lakes, or the rugged charm of a ranch, there is sure to be a location that suits your personality and style. If you’re not sure where to start, talk to me about my favorite locations and see if any of them resonate with you.  Our studio offers custom sessions where you can pick your favorite location AND use our photography studio as well.  You no longer have to worry about our crazy, unpredictable weather!  Check out this example of  Dalton, a senior from Quitman High School, in our studio!

Wardrobe

Next, consider your wardrobe. Your outfit can say a lot about you, so choose something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. For a classic look, consider wearing a suit or blazer with a tie. If you’re more of a casual guy, opt for a button-up shirt or a simple t-shirt and jeans. Don’t be afraid to add a personal touch, such as a favorite accessory or piece of jewelry.  Dalton chose a tux that we have here in the studio in our wardrobe closet.  Then, he paired it with his favorite shades.  His mom will LOVE this look!

 

Posing

When it comes to posing, the key is to be natural and relaxed. Don’t worry, we will give you some guidance on how to stand and where to look, but ultimately, the goal is to capture your true personality and spirit. Don’t be afraid to be yourself and let your unique qualities shine through.

Have fun!

Finally, don’t forget to have fun! Your senior portrait is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so enjoy the process and make some memories along the way. Bring a friend or family member to share in the experience, and take some time to reflect on all the hard work and accomplishments that have brought you to this point.

Just so you know, during your senior portrait session, we like to have fun too!  Here you can see my biggest fan, my sweet hubby (and a surprise guest at the end!) https://www.tiktok.com/@lorrainehowardphoto/video/7206071434668559658

And remember, your senior portrait is a chance to showcase your personality and style in a way that will be cherished for years to come. Whether you choose a natural setting or a classic studio look, focus on being true to yourself and making the experience enjoyable and memorable. With a little planning and creativity, your senior portrait can be a true work of art.

 

We hope your enjoyed these tips to help you create a stunning and memorable portrait that showcases who you are.  If you are still searching for who to take YOUR Senior Portraits, we offer complimentary consultations where we help you create your custom portrait session.  Give Lorraine at call at 903-824-2028 or fill out our contact information and we will get back to you. http://lorrainehoward.com/contact

2022 Senior Portraits … It’s NOT too late to book a session!

We are also starting to book our 2023 Senior Portraits as well.  It’s not too early to book those!

We had a gorgeous evening for Landynn’s Senior Portraits complete with a beautiful sunset in Winnsboro, Texas.  I think Wood County has some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. “Golden hour” is my favorite!  Just look at this last moment before the sun went down.  I LOVE sunsets with solar flares and silhouettes!

We also spent some time inside their beautiful home to capture this more formal, cap and gown portrait.  Their winding staircase was breathtaking.  It was the perfect background for this priceless portrait that every parent wants of their child.  This is the moment when we look at you and say “You did it and we are SO PROUD of you!”  (Insert mama’s happy tears!)

Here is one of my favorites from this Senior Portrait Session right at sunset.  We were out in the open field and the colors were gorgeous.  I got all the way down and laid on the ground.  His mom was pretty impressed.  I do whatever it takes to get THE pic!  I’m just thankful that This field didn’t have tons of pokies! lol

 

Traveling for Your Senior Portraits

When Landynn’s mom booked his senior session with me, she asked if we could do her shoot at their home.   I always love the idea of having our sessions on your own property, so I was instantly on-board. People often ask how far out I travel for photoshoots.   If you want it here in Quitman, or close places like Tyler, Mineola, Sulphur Springs or Winnsboro, that is great.  BUT, I LOVE traveling!  We just did a family photoshoot for the second year in a row down at Crystal Beach next to Galveston, Texas.  Next month I am traveling to Redding, California to photograph an engagement session. I am also traveling to Panama City, Florida this summer for a wedding.  If you have a dream place that you want to go, JUST ASK!  More than likely, my answer will be a YES!!!! I LOVE TO TRAVEL!  Just figure out what look you are looking for, and I will help you make it happen!
