Brand photo horror movies I don’t want to see:

1. Your client pays for head shots and uses AI to “enhance” them.
2. Your client says on their marketing strategy questionnaire that their target audience is “everyone”.
3. Your client says they haven’t gotten new headshots 10+ years
4. You send the final gallery of images you love, but your client hates them.
5. Your client sends you info pics that are unrealistic/not necessary for their brand.

My job is your brand photographer is to make sure you feel confident in your brand photos. To do this I work alongside you to make sure your photos are captured in a collaborative environment!

One day you look at your camera roll and realize every photo of your family is rushed. A birthday party in bad lighting. A blurry selfie in the car. A random snapshot between the chaos.

And suddenly...
You realize how long it’s been since you were all intentionally in a photo together.

You stop saying “maybe next year” because your kids don’t stay the same for next year. Their smiles change. Their voices change. The way they reach for your hand changes too.

You stop worrying about whether everyone will behave perfectly or wear the perfect outfit. Because years from now, you won’t care about any of that. You’ll care that you can still remember this season of life exactly as it was.

That’s what family photos are really for.
Not perfection. Not posing.
Just preserving the people you love while life is happening right now.

Let’s get your session on the calendar before this season becomes another memory.

Senior photos are not about looking perfect. They're about looking like yourself at 17, one last time.

In a few months, everything changes. The school, the schedule, the friend group, the version of you that exists right now in this exact season of life. These photos are not for the college applications or the announcements. They are for you, 20 years from now, when you want to remember exactly who you were before everything shifted. The way you laughed. The things you were into. The places that felt like yours.

That's what I'm here to capture.

At Fortis, we focus on primarily on brand and headshot photography, but when I started Fortis back in 2020, I was capturing seniors first! To this day, I still really enjoy a fun senior session!

Senior inquiries are open for the Class of 2027! If you're ready to build a session that actually feels like you, send me a DM and let's start planning.

When your visuals actually look like YOU, people stop scrolling. They start paying attention and building trust with you, post by post. Then one day, they reach out, already sold on what you offer. They are already committed to working with you and only you!

That's the shift a strategic session creates. That's it! That's my TED Talk for the day. So, you in?

I am going to be so real right now. I hate AI generated photos. I really hate AI generated Headshots. When I say I literally cringe when I see these photos, I mean it. Why?

It’s not really you. Most people can tell when your headshot is artificially generated. If your skin looks waxy, your teeth aren’t distinguishable from one another, and people can tell. If the background of your portrait isn’t necessarily realistic or the environment's shadows and lighting don’t make sense, people can tell.

A.I. doesn’t yet know how to create all the little imperfections or blemishes on your face that make you who you really are. A.I. doesn’t know quite yet how to distinguish your teeth from each other or create those natural reflections in your eyes. A.I. is still figuring out how to create cohesive, and coherent backgrounds that have appropriate fields of depth, shadows and light.

Using artificial intelligence to create your business portraits is a good way of losing clients or losing interest from your potential clients. When they can’t see the real you, they lose interest. I know I lose interest when I see a business using A.I. generated photos. People want to see what’s real. Not something generated by your artificial assistant.

Which is why I encourage business owners to connect with a brand photographer. Hey there! I'm Regan! I'll be your brand photographer!

Send me a DM with 🤖 if you are ready to stop using your artificial assistant and create real, true to life, and impactful brand images for your business!

West Michigan in the spring is one of my favorite things about living in Michigan. From the smell of fresh grass, the views of the lake, the taste of elephant ears, the beauty of the downtown tulips, and the roadside flower stands. Spring in Michigan is one of my favorite times to do photos. From fun senior sessions, to radiant headshot & brand sessions, and cute family moments, it’s all magical. Especially after the long winter months in Michigan, spring becomes a special breath of fresh air.

Happy World Laughter Day!

World Laughter Day is the perfect reminder that joy is one of the most beautiful things we can share. One of my favorite candid moments to capture, no matter what type of session I’m photographing, is genuine laughter. The kind that can’t be posed, planned, or forced. The laughter that comes from real connection, inside jokes, goofy moments, and pure happiness.

Those are the moments that tell your story best. The ones full of life, personality, and emotion. A genuine laugh freezes a feeling in time, and that’s what makes it so special.

So today, smile big, laugh often, and don't forget to hire a photographer when you need someone to capture those moments worth remembering. 🤍📸
