Tis the Season for Family Portraits

The Christmas season is upon us and it’s a busy time of year. The hustle and bustle of end-of-year gatherings and wrapping up work projects and school activities is almost more than we can handle. But it’s important to take time to get those family portraits done. Amid the chaos is the beauty of our lives. When we take a moment to be together as family, we can stop time for just this once. That moment is captured forever and when it hangs on the walls of your home, it reminds us of our center. Life is crazy but family keeps us together. It holds us and supports us like nothing else can. Your blood family or your chosen family or your family of fur-babies…whatever family is for you, cherish those relationships and let’s create something beautiful to remind you every single day.

Family is Everything

Whether your family is formal or casual, indoor or outdoor, structured or free…we can capture the true essence of your family. It’s important for your family portraits to be tailored to your style and your aesthetic. We want the portraits to feel like you – and not like the cookie-cutter million sessions in one day sort of portraits. Let’s make these special and beautiful and hang them on the walls of your home!

Most families don’t realize how much their photos can do — until they see them on their walls.

Your family portraits are more than just pictures — they’re artwork, gifts, and memories that tell your story.

With my custom wall art design software, you can preview exactly how your portraits will look in your home before ordering — true-to-scale and perfectly sized for your space.

From timeless albums to personalized holiday cards and framed gifts for grandparents, your family photos become keepsakes that last long after the season ends.

📅 October is the best time to book. November sessions fill fast!

Let’s create holiday portraits that feel like you and bring warmth to your walls and hearts this season.

📩 DM me to reserve your family photo session in Houston before spots are gone!

"What should we wear?" — The question that keeps families from booking their session. 😅

Here`s the thing: I`ve been doing this long enough to know that outfit stress is real. And completely unnecessary.

That`s why I work with a professional stylist who takes the guesswork out of coordinating your family`s look:

🎨 She creates a custom color palette that flatters everyone
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Coordinates (not matches!) each family member perfectly
📦 Can even help you shop or pull from what you already own
✨ Ensures your photos look timeless, not trendy

No more last-minute outfit changes. No more wondering if everyone looks good together. No more stress.

Just show up, be yourselves, and let us handle the rest.

Because the best family photos happen when you`re relaxed, comfortable, and focused on each other — not worried about whether your shirt works with your daughter`s dress.

📸 Ready for a stress-free family session? DM me to get started!

Class of 2026... this is your moment. ✨

You`re not just graduating — you`re stepping into who you`re meant to become. And that person? They deserve to be celebrated.

This year isn`t about fitting into someone else`s idea of what a senior should look like. It`s about showing the world exactly who YOU are:

🎸 The musician who finds peace in melody
🏐 The athlete who never gives up
📚 The scholar who asks the big questions
🎨 The artist who sees beauty everywhere
💫 The dreamer who`s about to change the world

Your senior portraits should tell YOUR story. Not a generic version. Not what everyone else is doing. Yours.

Because in 10 years, when you look back at these photos, you should see the exact moment you started believing in yourself.

The moment your story really began.

📸 Ready to tell your story? Send me a DM and let`s create something amazing together.

Be honest—when was the last time you felt completely prepared for a photo session? 📸

For most seniors (and parents!), the biggest stress isn`t posing—it`s wondering if you brought the right things. Will this outfit work? Did I forget something important? Should I have packed differently?

Here`s the truth: your senior session should celebrate who you are right now, not create anxiety about what to wear or bring.

I`ve photographed hundreds of seniors, and the best sessions happen when students feel confident and prepared—not overwhelmed by choices or worried about forgotten items.

Swipe through for my go-to checklist that takes the guesswork out of prep. Because when you`re prepared, your authentic personality shines through naturally. ✨
