FEATURED SUBJECTS + STORIES

This is where I would visually show that her résumé is way broader than weddings/headshots.

Use four or six strong images with only tiny captions:

AUTHORS + ARTISTS
Portraits and cultural figures

COMMUNITY + PUBLIC LIFE
Documentary and journalism

SPORT
Competition, movement and the moment

LEADERSHIP
Executives, institutions and changemakers

MUSIC + LIVE
Performance and culture

BRANDS
Commercial storytelling

No giant explanation underneath each. Let the images establish the range.

RECOGNITION BEYOND THE BYLINE

Coverage of the Texas Managing Editors awards highlighted Cosima among El Paso journalists recognized statewide, specifically noting her second-place award in Feature Photography. 95.5 KLAQ

I'd put this in a black-background band with oversized gold 02 or a tiny award icon. It breaks up the article cards nicely.

SELECTED CLIENTS + COMMISSIONS

This section should distinguish a publication that ran her photograph from someone who actually hired/commissioned her.

Once Cosima confirms exactly how each relationship can be presented publicly, I would use:

JARRITOS · EL PASO INC. · COLDPLAY · PUBLIC OFFICES · UNIVERSITIES · CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS · + MORE

But I would be precise with the big names.

If Cosima shot for Coldplay directly, write COLDPLAY.

If she photographed Coldplay while assigned by another publication/promoter, say:

COLDPLAY — LIVE COVERAGE

Likewise, if the political work was actually commissioned by Texas Rep. Gina Hinojosa's office, then name the office. If it was a photo that happened to be used there, describe the exact credit rather than implying a commission.

Luxury brands don't need to exaggerate. Specificity looks more impressive.
