The Importance of Family Portraits | Houston Family Photographer

The Importance of Family Portraits

At the holidays, we are more aware than ever that our families are crazy!  And sometimes they drive us crazy.  But in that chaos and craziness is love.  It is love that binds us together in the good times and the bad.  We stick together and support each other because we are family.  When we create family portraits, we are honoring that love for our family.  The family portrait that hangs on the walls in your home is a daily reminder of the love that you share.  It binds and molds us.  It holds us close.  We remember the love.  And that will see us through.

Annual Family Photographs

Some people call it luck and some a blessing or fortune.  Whatever your name for it, I am there among those few who truly love what I do.  Family photography was my first love and I still love every session!  I get to watch the connections and interactions of family.  Mom and Dad, sister and brother.  The first portrait below is a family with twin boys.  Every day is crazy for them.  But they show up every year for their family portrait.  Mom puts the photos in the house and the kids know how cherished and loved they are.  The next family has a new addition and they are so in love with him.  New parents are the best at showing total and complete unconditional love.  It is a beautiful thing!  I have photographed the third family for many many years.  They always make me laugh and I love to photograph them!  The last family has five children.  They are the most mature, well-behaved children that I have ever met.  Their family is calm and peaceful and beautiful in so many ways.  I’m grateful to have the opportunity to keep doing what I love and to create family portraits.

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.

Ready to show up as yourself?

Some poses might feel a little silly in the moment and that’s okay. 📸👇🏼

One of the biggest secrets to great photos is being willing to experiment.

What feels “unnatural” in real life often looks confident, effortless, and polished on camera. That’s why posing is such a big part of what I do during every session.

I’ll guide you through adjustments, test different angles, and fine-tune details so we find what truly works for you.

You don’t need to overthink it or worry about how you look — trusting the process is where the magic happens.

You show up. I’ll handle the posing.

I hear this all the time — and the good news is, you don’t need to👇🏻

Guiding you through posing, angles, and expressions is literally my job.

During every session, I give clear, simple direction so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do next.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident — because that’s when you look your best.

You’re never expected to “perform” or figure it out on your own. I’ll position you in ways that highlight your best features and feel natural to you.

All you need to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.

Your face is the star of your headshot — and how your hair frames it makes all the difference. ✨

Here`s what most people miss: hair should frame your features, not compete with them.

✨ Thicker hair? Pull it back to highlight your face.

✨ Thinner hair? Bring it forward for balance and dimension.

Small adjustments like this help your headshot truly reflect you — confident, polished, and professional.

The goal is simple: when someone sees your photo, they see YOU. Your personality, your confidence, your energy — all in one image.
