Fall Family Portraits | Houston Spring The Woodlands Family Photographer

FALL IS FAMILY PORTRAIT TIME!!
What?  It’s summer.  I know.  We just started summer vacation but it’s not too early to schedule your family’s fall portrait session.  Here’s why…the fall portrait season (October and November) is the busiest season for family portrait photographers.  It’s good to get booked early so that you have your choice of date and time and possibly location for your photo session.  By getting the details of payment and signed portrait agreement done early, we can then focus on the other details of the session like wardrobe, location, props, and any other staging for the session.  And who likes to be rushed at the last minute anyway?
Here are some things to consider when booking your family fall portrait session.
1) TRUST – Custom portraits are an investment.  These are documented memories that your family will keep for a very long time.  I am confident in my ability to deliver a quality product and have fun with the family while doing it!  

2) STYLE – The images on my blog and website are the best indication of what your images will look like.  My sessions tend to be very relaxed yet guided and I take subtle cues from the family as to how the session is going and how it needs to flow.  I like to get posed shots done in the beginning of a session while the kids are usually still on their best behavior (I have a rowdy 5-year-old and know how that goes so I can easily go along with whatever comes)!  Then we just let it go and we capture lots of great, what-I-call, “family moments” where you get to just be YOU and I just tag along and capture the whole thing!
3) END PRODUCTS – Think about what you would like as the end product before your session.  This will help us both plan for the images even down to the wardrobe choices.  Are you interested in a gorgeous canvas gallery to hang on your living room wall?  Framed portraits?  Holiday cards?  Digital images?  I will help you see the possibilities with all of these options before and after our session.

Let’s talk about it 👇🏻

If your brand photos aren’t working… it’s probably because they’re not telling the full story. 📖

So many business owners come to me thinking they just need a good headshot. And while that’s a great pace to start—it’s not enough to truly connect with your audience.

When I work with clients on branding sessions, we create a variety of images that show who you are, how you work, and what it’s like to be in your world. Because that’s what people really want to see. 

Here are 5 types of brand photos I recommend for every business owner ⬇️

📸 Classic Headshot – Professional and polished, but with personality. Think confident, approachable, and totally on-brand.

📸 Lifestyle – You doing your thing—working on your laptop, taking client calls, sipping coffee. These shots feel natural and authentic (because they are).

📸 Detail or Flat Lay – The close-ups: your hands writing, your products, your favorite pen and planner. These add texture and storytelling to your visuals.

📸 Environment/Context – Your space, your vibe. Whether it’s a cozy home office or a sleek meeting room, it helps clients imagine being there with you.

📸Team or Interaction Shots – Collaborating, problem-solving, laughing. People want to see connection—these images make your brand feel human.

Every image we create is intentional—designed to help your audience picture themselves working with you and to build that all-important trust before they ever reach out.

I get it—you’ve hired someone new, and now you need a matching headshot… but your original photographer is no longer available. 😬

Do you really have to start over and re-photograph the whole team?

Not if you hire someone who knows how to recreate what’s already working.

That’s where I come in.

When a company calls me in to match an existing set of headshots, I study every detail of your current images so your new photos blend in flawlessly—like they were taken on the same day.

Here’s what I focus on to make that happen:

✅ Lighting – Studio or natural? Soft, directional, or diffused?

✅ Background – Color, texture, and how sharp or blurry it is.

✅ Cropping & Composition – How close is the shot? What’s the framing like?

✅ Posing & Expression – Are your team members posed formally or relaxed and candid?

✅ Editing Style – Bright and airy? Bold and contrasty? Warm or cool tones?

📸 The result: a polished, consistent set of headshots that reflect your brand—even across time, locations, or different photographers.

✨ You don’t need to start over. You just need the right photographer.

This Mother’s Day, skip the flowers and give her something timeless—a moment, beautifully captured.

She’s been your biggest supporter, your soft place to land, your strength through every season of life.

And while you may not say it every day… you feel it deeply: the love, the gratitude, the bond that only grows stronger over time.

A family photo session isn’t just about the images.

It’s about carving out time to be present with each other.

It’s about documenting the connection, the laughter, the quiet strength, and the unspoken love that lives in every glance and every touch.

Whether you’re celebrating your mom, becoming one yourself, or honoring the memory of someone dear—these portraits become keepsakes.

Not just for now, but for years to come.

📸 Mother’s Day sessions are relaxed, natural, and designed to feel more like a meaningful experience than a posed shoot.

✨ Limited spots available—let’s create something she’ll treasure forever.
