Houston Family Portrait Photographer

As Houston’s family portrait photographer, I take pride in being flexible!!  With Houston weather, you never know what each minute of your planned session will bring.  All of the careful planning and watching will not fully prepare you for the weather.  So I’ve learned to be prepared for anything.  Family studio sessions are great because they will be successful no matter the weather.  However, a studio session does limit you on options for background and location.  My favorite place for family portraits is a green space or park with trees.  There’s just something about being outside where the kids can run around and then come back for portraits.  A little freedom in between – that’s the good stuff!

Family Portraits with the Wulfsons

The Wulfson family portrait session was a perfect mix of studio and outdoor location.  We started with a studio session in their home.  This first part assured us that we would have great family portraits even if the weather didn’t cooperate.  After the studio shots, we went to the local park for some outdoor shots.  It was really cold!  So we wore coats to get into place and then took them off right before the picture.  I absolutely adore the sun coming through the trees behind the family for that dramatic end-of-day shot.  And the sun was bouncing off the water as well – gorgeous!  At the very end of the session, we got a shot of the family vehicle line-up.  Dad was in charge of this one and did a great job!

One day, this will be a memory. Don’t miss capturing it.

Senior year has a way of slipping by faster than you expect… and before you know it, they’re graduating.

These photos aren’t just for now—they’re something you’ll look back on for years to come, remembering exactly who they were in this moment.

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your reminder—time is running out and spots are limited.

Shutter speed is one of those things that feels confusing… until it clicks. 😉📸

For headshots, you don’t need anything complicated — just a solid, consistent range and an understanding of how your lighting plays into it.

If you’re a new photographer trying to figure all of this out, I’ve put together a few resources to help you get started — from gear to posing and more.

Most people step in front of the camera thinking, “I have no idea what to do.”

That’s where I come in.

Every small adjustment you see here — posture, hands, angles — is intentional. It’s what turns a quick headshot into something confident and professional.

If you want to learn the poses I rely on most, I put together a guide breaking them down.

If you’re just getting into headshot photography, it’s easy to feel like you need everything to get started.

You don’t.

A solid light setup, a reliable camera, and a lens you can trust will take you a lot further than you think.

📸 For me, that looks like a Nikon Z7II mirrorless camera + a 70–200mm lens, paired with a simple lighting setup that keeps things consistent and professional.

It’s not about having the most gear — it’s about having the right setup and knowing how to use it.
