Tired of professional photos that don’t even look like you?
You’re not alone. So many people avoid the camera altogether. Not because they’re unphotogenic, but because past photos just never felt right. I hear it all the time, especially from women. (And honestly? I get it. I’d much rather be behind the lens. Don’t get me started on my hair in this video.)
At Windell Portraits, I do things differently. A relaxed pace, zero judgment, and enough laughs to help you forget there’s a camera in the room. That’s how we get photos that actually look like you. I’ll retouch your images too, just enough to polish things up without losing what makes you, you.
Bad hair and all — watch how I turn real people into people who love their photos.
Photography sessions without the rush
Whether you’re after a single polished headshot, timeless portraits your family will cherish for years, or a session that’s just plain fun, I’ll give every shot the attention it deserves.
The result? Photos that look genuinely, naturally you. Maybe even a little better.
People who loved their Windell Portraits experience
“I’m so happy with my professional headshots from Windell Portraits! The whole experience was relaxed and fun, from scheduling to consultation to the photo shoot and deciding on which pictures to purchase, Risë really helped put me at ease and made me feel confident.“
“Risë is phenomenal to work with. I was so nervous going in for headshots, I don’t feel comfortable in front of the camera. She made it so easy and so much fun! I laughed, made funny faces, answered sill questions and genuinely enjoyed the whole experience. She is a master of her craft and true professional! From helping understand how colors would show up to directing poses, she made me feel empowered. I loved the few shots I saw and can’t wait for the final product. Can’t recommend you boost your business with a headshot from Windell Portraits enough!!“
“Wow, I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Windell Photography! Risë was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She gave super clear instructions that made me feel prepared and at ease right from the get-go.
I was a bit nervous about having my photos taken, but Risë showed up right on time and immediately put me at ease with her warm personality. What really blew me away was how she asked these simple questions that somehow got me to open up emotionally. Before I knew it, I was totally engaged in the session and actually enjoying myself!
The whole process felt natural and fun. When it came time to choose the photos, I was amazed at how many great shots there were to pick from. Risë made that part easy too.
If you’re on the fence about booking a session, just do it! You won’t regret working with Risë. She’s got a real talent for capturing those genuine moments and making the whole experience enjoyable. I’m thrilled with how my photos turned out and the memories of the session itself. Five stars all the way!“
“Recently I had the pleasure of having Risë take my business head shots. The experience was top notch. Risë took the time to get to know me so that she was able to pull out of me the most professional and authentic facial expressions and genuine smiles. The quality of the photos I knew was important to me but It was equally if not more important to her. She is not your cookie cutter photographer she is a true artist. She made me look and feel beautiful, confident and ready to take on the world. I was beyond pleased with the results and I would recommend Windell Portraits to anyone she is truly talented, you will not be disappointed.”
“I had a blast with Windell Portraits! Very professional but easy-going. Rise helps you feel very comfortable in front of the camera, helps pose you to look your best, and lights you perfectly. I got so many excellent photos from our shoot it was hard to narrow them down!“
