Why take family photos?

As The Woodlands family photographer, I know that you’re busy.  We are all busy!  Our activities like soccer practice, ballet recitals, dates with friends and family and work and dry cleaning manage every minute of our days.  But these days will not come again.  Our babies are growing up way too fast.  Take a moment to slow down.  Think of your family photo session as a chance to just be together.  The photo session is not just another appointment to check off the “to-do” list.  It’s an opportunity to be family and to laugh and have fun.  These moments will make the most wonderful images for your family to enjoy for generations.  We will capture genuine smiles and laughter.  Let’s schedule a photo session and document your family being family!

 

The Whipple Family

Jackie contacted me about family portraits and we set a date.  We met at the park and had a great time exploring and finding spots for photos!  I’ve been to this park many times and we found a new spot that was absolutely beautiful.  At one point during the session, I stopped them and said “just be family”.  I wanted them to talk, tickle each other, laugh and just do what it is that makes them family.  These are the best moments!  I love a posed family shot with everyone looking at the camera and smiling.  But those in-between glances and smiles are the ones that make my heart melt.  When we stopped, Addy decided that it was best to give brother all kinds of kisses.  Hand kisses and forehead kisses are the best from your big sister!  Priceless.

I hear it all the time… ⬇️

“I want to lose a little weight first.”
“I’ll do it after I get my hair done.”
“I just don’t feel ready yet.”

But the truth is… most people never feel 100% ready.
And that’s okay.

You don’t need to be “perfect” to show up confidently.
You just need the right space, the right support, and someone behind the camera who sees you as you are—right now.

✨ If this is the sign you’ve been waiting for… I’d love to help.
Here’s the truth 👇🏻

I have two business degrees — everything I’ve learned about photography came from hands-on experience and in-person workshops.

If you’re starting a headshot business or stepping into photography, here’s my biggest advice:

✨ Join local and national photography organizations

✨ Invest in in-person workshops

✨ Learn by doing, not just watching

Online resources are great, but there’s no substitute for seeing another photographer set up lighting, work with models, and handle real scenarios. You figure out what works for you by trying it yourself.

Because at the end of the day, your style is yours — and you only find it through practice.

✨ Seniors — it’s YOUR year! ✨

Your senior portraits should feel like you — not just another cookie-cutter session. That means:

🕶️ Bring your sunglasses
👟 Rock your favorite sneakers
🎸 Grab your instrument, your dog, or even your best friend

Let’s add personality, attitude, and fun so your session is unforgettable. Because these aren’t just photos — they’re memories you’ll look back on for years to come. 💛

Adding a new team member? Your group photo doesn’t have to look outdated. 📸

With group composites, it’s easy to keep your team image polished and cohesive:

✨ I photograph the new hire individually — headshot + full body

🏢 We can shoot in my studio or at your location

👔 Keeping everyone in coordinated colors creates a clean, unified look

No need to retake the entire team photo every time someone joins — your group portrait always looks seamless and up-to-date.
