The Woodlands | Family Photographer | Belden Family at Kleb Woods Nature Preserve in Tomball, TX

Every year on Mother's Day I invite you all to tag a wonderful Mom who deserves to win a free family session. This year our winner was the lovely Danielle and her sweet family. I am so glad her dear friend thought to tag this stunning lady because her graceful spirit warmed my heart this instant we spoke about styling her sunset family portrait session. We chose a fun new location that I had yet to explore and it proved to be lovely with lush green foliage , rustic barn backdrops and some quaint little historical homes as well. Mom choose a color palate of deep blues and lighter aquas that poped against the more natural colors like green and brown that the location provided. The shutters on one of the little house were even painted blue- how perfect! Below I have shared some of my favorite images from this shoot and I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I have. If you are interested in your own family portrait session, I am booking into this Fall and would love to have you!! Have a look at the pricing guide and contact me if you have any questions at all- I am here to walk you through every step of your heirloom portrait experience. We're also on #instagam

{Preview} Lauryn + Tim | Ashelynn Manor Daytime Wedding | Houston Area Wedding Photography

Lauryn and Tim were married at the lovely Ashelynn Manor Last Sunday and it was absolutely magical. The weather had predicted 80% chance of rain, but with the adorable chapel and lavish reception hall it didn't pose a problem. Luckily, the day could not have been more beautiful and we were Blessed with beautiful skies that allowed us to utilize the stunning outdoor areas this venue has to offer as well. Lauryn, Tim and their bridal party were a dream to work with. Their families were beaming with pride, and you could feel just how right these two were for one another.  Here are some of my favorites for the beautiful couple to enjoy while on their honeymoon at Disney! When Tim won Lauryn's hand in marriage- He wanted to go to Disney!

Rainy Day Engagement Session | Houston Area Wedding Photography | Lisa & Joey

While I do offer free in person consultations, sometimes the first time I meet the special couple {{who so carefully chose me to document their wedding day}} on the day of their engagement portraits. This was the case with Lisa & Joey, and I must say that I was immediately drawn to their quirky personalities. Their original session has been rescheduled due to rain and much to our surprise, the rain would show itself on their second attempt as well. After a quick regrouping we decided to stick it out and try to get some gorgeous rainy day shots. Lisa explained that their first date was very rainy, and it might have just been "meant to be that way". After seeing the results I couldn't agree more. Their images are intimate and lovely and warm despite the cool crisp air and sprinkles of rain that were upon us. Love conquers all.  Each of my wedding day packages does include a full engagement session, so if you are newly engaged I would love to chat with you more about what I offer and set up your very own couples portrait session showcasing the everlasting love you have for one another. Here are my favorite images from Lisa and Joey's engagement session located in The Woodlands, TX this past fall. I am anticipating a lot of love and laughter at their wedding later this year. 

Mommy and Me | The Woodlands, TX | Family Photography

As a mother of three, one of my absolute favorite types of sessions to book are the oh so special Mommy and Me portraits! These are the images that will document the everlasting love you have for your children, and the love they have for you in return. When photographing these session I aim to capture the connection and bond you have.  I love when you play and interact and talk about what you love most about each other. The little faces and expressions you get are beyond adorable and I hope they are what will tug at your heart strings when looking back on these heirloom images. When Nikki and I had our initial styling consultation she said she wanted a bohemian feel that incorporated some femininity. She choose a long crimson dress with delicate straps, and a flowing cream top with floral print leggings for her little one. The both looked stunning! All of my sessions come with digital files for easy sharing online, and most include a print credit as well. I urge you to print the images you wish to pass down. Discs and USB drives can often fail, but the paper images that I rummage through at my grandmother's house have never failed us. A yearly family album is a great way to archive your growing love for one another.
