Family Photography in Spring, TX

Printing, Framing & In-Home Design

A full-service, guided experience that takes you from session to finished artwork for your home.

What It’s Like to Work Together

From our first conversation to the final artwork in your home, my role is to guide the process so it feels steady and supportive.

That means:

  • Purposeful planning and clear direction

  • Sessions that feel unhurried and comfortable

  • Expert guidance in choosing images and artwork you’ll cherish

  • A focus on legacy, not trends

You get to be present with your people. I thoughtfully hold the details.

Let's work together to preserve your Legacy

The LWP Family Session Experience is intentionally designed for families who value connection, legacy, and artwork that lives beyond a screen. You don’t need to know exactly what you want before we begin. I’ll help you slow down, notice what matters, and make thoughtful choices along the way.

My guided family photography experiences are tailored to your family, with thoughtfully designed packages and begin at $1,450.

Most families invest a total of $2100-$8000 on their session and artwork.

Let's create something special together!

The Art of Family

Here’s How It Works

We’ll start with a simple conversation about your family and what feels most important to preserve right now. From there, I’ll guide the planning including wardrobe, location, and artwork so nothing feels like guesswork.

Each experience is tailored to each family with thoughtfully designed support that meets you where you are. If family photos feel new or overwhelming, I’ll send gentle prep emails with clear guidance so you know what to expect and can arrive feeling comfortable and ready.

On session day, the focus is simply being together. I’ll guide the flow and handle the details so the experience feels calm and unhurried.

After your session, your images are carefully edited and delivered in a private gallery within 10–14 business days. From there, I’ll guide you in selecting the images and artwork that matter most without pressure or extra steps.

Simple. Intentional. Fully supported.

Garden, field, or shoreline?

I photograph families in locations you won’t find on Google. Over the years, I’ve built relationships with private farms, open fields, and thoughtfully chosen spaces so your session feels unhurried and personal, not crowded or familiar.

Whether you need something dog-friendly, accessible, or engaging for kids, I’ll help choose a setting that fits your family and the season you’re in. The goal is a backdrop that feels natural and intentional, allowing your family’s connection to take center stage.

Your memories, thoughtfully made into art

I don’t believe your images should live only on a screen. From curated print options to custom wall design, I guide the process so your photographs become timeless artwork you’ll enjoy in your home every day.

Both heirloom artwork and the corresponding digital images are always included, so your memories are preserved in ways that feel both tangible and lasting.

Wondering about an Extended Family Session? 

Thinking about getting the generations gathered together? These sessions are designed to honor the relationships that make your family story rich and meaningful.

Extended family sessions are guided with the same calm, intentional approach as all of my work. With thoughtful planning and clear direction, I help large groups come together with ease so the experience feels organized, unhurried, and genuinely enjoyable.

Extended Family Sessions begin at $2,400.
