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.

This is why good branding photos feel different 👇🏻

A strong session isn’t just about showing up and taking a few pictures.

It’s about direction.
It’s about intention.
It’s about creating images you can actually use across your business.

The end result should feel aligned—like your photos finally match the level you’re operating at now.

But here’s the part most people skip…
Before you ever step in front of the camera, you need clarity on your brand.

✅ What do you want your brand to feel like?
✅ How do you want to show up?

That’s exactly why I created my Brand Personality Workbook—to help you define that first so your photos actually work for you.

📥 Grab it through the link in my bio, then let’s plan your session.
It’s funny… people assume I’m just showing up, taking photos, and moving on.

But in reality, I’m rooting for my clients long after the session is over.

Hoping they feel more confident.
Hoping they land the opportunity.
Hoping their photos help them show up the way they’ve been wanting to.

Because it’s never just about the pictures.

📩 If you’re ready for photos that actually support where you’re going, you can book through the link in my bio.
You don’t just get a few photos…

You get a full set of images you can actually use—
for your website, your content, your launches, and everything in between.

Because as a coach, you are your brand.
And the way you show up visually matters more than most people realize.

My goal isn’t just to take good photos—
it’s to help you feel confident, natural, and aligned in how you present yourself.

📩 If you’ve been putting off branding photos, this is your sign—link in bio to start planning.
Mid-session. Camera in hand. Client in front of me…
and suddenly my camera starts throwing error codes.

I turn it off. Pull the battery. Take the card out.
Put everything back in and hope it works again.

And then it happens again.

Three memory cards failed on me during that shoot.

After that, I switched to Sony Tough cards—and haven’t had an issue since.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about… until you’re in a high-pressure moment and your gear has to perform.

📥 If you’re a photographer and want a breakdown of the gear I actually use and trust, I’ve put together a guide—link in bio.

👇🏼 But I'm curious, what cards have been working for you?
