Family Photographer of The Woodlands | Zabriskie Family

The Importance of Printed Family Portraits

It is so important to have printed family portraits hanging on the walls of your home.  With the ease and convenience of the cell phone photo, we risk a generation of kiddos that end up with no printed photos!  Truly.  Hard drives crash.  Cell phones crash.  Digital data can be lost in an instant – it’s happened to me several times.  Luckily, I have backups for my backups.  But we, as the parents of the kids in this digital era, need to print our family photos in albums, wall portraits, or anything that doesn’t require digital storage.  As a family photographer, it is my job and responsibility to preserve the memories of your family.  Join me in the print movement and ensure that our kids have photos of their families for generations to come.

The Zabriskie Family

I met Leanne when we started our first jobs out of college.  It was a new and unknown territory for us both.  Our training class lasted for five weeks to learn about this new role in a new company.  We became fast friends as we tried to navigate the corporate world for the first time.  Together, we socialized, went out dancing, and then she was a bridesmaid in my wedding.  We both have kids now and our lives have taken us to different places but we live closely and I now have the honor of capturing her beautiful family.  I love this family photo in the bluebonnets.  The boys in their baseball outfits because that’s what they know – baseball.  This is life: beautiful, messy, genuine and filled with a love and connection that holds us together as family.

Most men think they don’t know how to pose for a headshot…

but it’s not about knowing poses.

It’s about a few simple adjustments that make you look confident and natural on camera.

A couple go-to options (like the classic “GQ” stance, arms crossed, or a relaxed lean) can completely change how you show up.

And the rest? That’s what I guide you through.

📥 If you’re also not sure what to wear, I’ve got you covered—grab my Men’s Style Guide for Headshots through the link in my bio.

📩 Ready for updated headshots? You can book through the link as well.
If you’re just getting started in photography… don’t worry about finding your niche right away.

When I first started, I photographed everything—weddings, babies, families, headshots, corporate… if someone needed photos, I was there.

And that’s how you figure it out.

You don’t find your niche by waiting—you find it by doing the work, learning what you like, and getting better with every session.

Every type of shoot teaches you something different.
Every client builds your experience.

Over time, you start to see what actually fits you—and that’s where your expertise comes from.

📥 If you’re in that phase right now, I’ve put together resources to help—covering lighting, gear, posing, and more.

✨ Grab them through the link in my bio!
Senior portraits are just one piece of what I do 👇🏻

I also work with:
✅ professionals who need updated headshots
✅ business owners building their brand
✅ families capturing this season of life
✅ and actors/models creating strong portfolio images

Different sessions—but the same goal:
helping people show up confidently and authentically on camera

📩 If you’re not sure what kind of session you need, let’s figure it out together—link in bio to learn more.
Senior sessions with moms and sons are always… an experience 😂

A little back-and-forth, a few eye rolls, and somehow we still end up with photos everyone loves.

Honestly, those in-between moments are usually the best part.

📩 DM me if you’ve been putting off senior photos—there’s still time.
